That has been the sweeping argument of your initial email, together with the blank check you had for committing. Everybody loves interoperability. However, after reading the extensive comprehensible argumentation by Alex, David and Kristoffer, and after actually playing around with Konqueror and Dolphin, I must say that now I am against such a proposal. The coding complexity for merging all the menus in a proper way is just not worth the effort. Also, the template system of KDE does not seem to integrate in a nice way: They don't even use OnlyShowIn, and have weird non-standard URL references like URL=.source/DVDROM-Device.desktop Besides, the UI of Dolphin and Konqueror randomly adds separators and submenus to the UI which also do not seem to be specified anywhere in the source template files. Even if we agree on a common template system, I doubt that it's worth to implement it in Nautilus/GNOME. I love how everybody cares about the users, but for this use-case skeletons and symlinks are definitly enough. Sorry for all the noise and for the slalom - nobody is perfect :). best regards, Christian Neumair -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
