Hi Adam et al, I installed the latest nautilus-python from git master but I could not find any update_file_info_async() method in it. Perhaps you are referring to update_file_info_full() ? What does the *full* signify in these calls ?
And one more question I had was, assuming I get my data and cache it using the update_file_info_*() method, how do I make it accessible to to get_file_items() method when the user actually right-clicks ? This maybe a pretty stupid question but please bear with me, nevertheless. regards, Seemanta On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 7:55 PM, Adam Plumb <adampl...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 10:11 AM, Seemanta Dutta <seema...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Actually I did not use update_file_info.
