Hi, I'm a GNOME pusher. I try and keep track of important development in the GNU/Linux world, focusing on GNOME on the desktop side.
Since you're considering a replacing the GNOME-VFS, why not consider having the VFS at the filesystem level with FUSE? beaglefs clearly shows that FUSE gives some opportunities here. Metadata can be stored as xattr attributes, and the whole beauty of VFS would be accessible from the console also, using standard file system tools. Which would not the least make the VFS GNOME independent, without requiring special implementation at the application level. When it comes to GNOME specific features, just add the API features to the new "GNOME-VFS FUSE client". -- Runar Ingebrigtsen propell, mopo as http://runar.mopo.no | +47 971 77 229 | Boks 808, 8001 Bodø, NORWAY
