what to do when window is closed? and when that folder is viewed
again? I'd like to have the progress even if I close the window...
either do not close it or when you close "detach" the progress status.

I hate these links. IMHO they should be transparent.
Actually, the idea would be to follow kde's path to have directory
views of EFM and selectively choose to "show devices". That way we can
just have a EFM view with "show devices" to show our "~/Desktop" as a
gadman. We can even have multiple views in the same desktops (ie: ~/
and ~/Desktop) or different views per desktops (~/Desktop-1,
~/Desktop-2...)
With that I could choose to view ~/.empty-folder and "show devices" to
list just the external devices.

Even with edje support is remains difficult. You must ensure that the
edited text is visible (ie: you're editing next to a border, you
should pan/scroll to make sure it is visible).

about ilist, using Smart's "changed" could help a lot and remove need
for freeze/thaw. Other than that we could port guarana's MVC list for
such thing, it's very fast when you have rows with the same renderer
(same edje group could be applied).
My personal items would be:
12. keyboard shortcuts: ^c, ^v, ^x...
13. enable easy open of efm at some folder, specially from cmdline...
efm ~/my-folder would be handy.
13. popup with preview options. plugin-able would rock, but at least
way to see more information about most used types (images, videos,
music, oo.org) would help, things like title, preview, date and like.
I guess I could make it easier if I add individual file extraction
for LightMediaScanner. Today it's based on folders and every file is
stored on SQLite DB, maybe I can change that to make it more useful
for one-file users, including EFM.
And sure, we could use more EFL apps to handle files... things like
Eyelight (presentation viewer), Eyesight (document viewer, pdf...),
Enjoy (music player)... Most required, at least to me, are a document
(pdf, ps, ooo) viewer and photo viewer. Eyesight really need work to
be useful, Ephoto and Exhibit are not what I'd like to see my picture
directory, I'd like a quick viewer with easy and fancy slideshow, easy
to use zoom and possible exif and rotation support, until that I keep
using cmdline imagemagick's "display".
