I have to say that I really liked that, and it could be a solution for this problem.

Not really. More like Places though. Actually, if the sidebar is a gadcon, the Places module will be perfect, as long as it understands that it is in an e_fm window already, so clicking on icons will open the destination in place. This also calls for some generic way of identifying some type of context per gadman (I currently assume in a few modules, including drawer and forecasts that if the orientation is FLOAT, then the gadget is on the desktop or on the desktop overlay, but that might prove very limiting in the future). > > > > Using the .gtk-bookmarks instead of the current favourites (if the first > > supports things other than directories) > > I'm pro it, at least firefox and other apps would use it.

I'm thinking more along the lines of 'tab'-like interface, like in recent versions of nautilus. And it should be pretty easy to implement too. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
