I've been thinking about this, suppose we have a scenario where we want to retrieve one or more properties of all files in a given directory. With gtk_file_folder_get_info() we would get the folder, wait for it to finish loading and then retrieve the properties and process the data in a simple loop, since gtk_file_folder_get_info() is synchronous. I think it makes sense to leave gtk_file_folder_get_info() in, since this is IMHO a lot easier than getting a callback for each file, and do some bookkeeping to figure out whether all files have been processed. -kris. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
