Some days ago, I sent a message to the list with subject "Help wanted about extensions", where I was complaining about the lack of functionality of one of the exposed interfaces of Nautilus extensions. I haven't received any kind of answer or feedback, but I've continued searching for other functionalities and I'm a kind of surprised on how difficult is to interact with Nautilus from a developer point of view. Extensions seems to me like a partial solution (extend is different to interact or communicate), cause some common features that (I think) should be exposed through some API are still missing. Something as simple as modifying some UI elements permanently (like emblems, for instance), will require the developer to modify configuration metafiles, because Nautilus doesn't provide public functions or any other kind of IPC mechanism to access this feature. The same happens when trying to refresh the desktop after changing some look&feel configuration file. It may be more examples, but I've concentrated on things I've worked out. I think also it would be nice for Nautilus to implement some kind of Dbus interface so it can receive messages from other applications. Correct me if I'm wrong and point me to the right direction if that is the case.
greetings, Dariem PS - I still hope some good soul help me with the problem explained in my message "Help wanted about extensions" :-) -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
