If we divide nautilus-action between backend (gconf entries that defines menu items in nautilus) and frontend (nautilus-actions ui for edit those gconf entries) I think the proper solution would be to integrate the backend part into nautilus and so nautilus-actions would be just an advanced editor while nautilus could ship a basic editor or not editor at all as the more important thing is that nautilus provide an easy way (gconf entries) to let applications integrate their launchers. > While its a useful thing for some people I'm not at all sure its > something we should expose in a highly visible way. Summarizing, I think nautilus should have the backend and then there would exist advanced or simple editors similar to the advanced and simple editors that already exists for freedesktop menus spec. The main thing to solve here is imho to avoid that a software vendor has to write a nautilus extension just to install a simple launcher for his application. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
