I would actually need something like this to implement "Send to removable device" in nautilus-sendto, which people are apparently missing a lot from Windows. The original idea was to use a D-Bus service for that: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498506 Operations dialogues offered in GTK+ directly would probably be better as it would allow people to not have nautilus running for the operation to work. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
