I would add that any such interface should be started as a fork of Nautilus. Otherwise you always start with a poorer file management set of features, and the developers basically reinventing the wheel in that regard. There aren't many Nautilus features that I wouldn't want to see in a photo manager. A photo is still a file and whatever you can do to a file you should be able to do to a photo. Another thing to appreciate is the particular strenghts of Linux. This is the one platform where the command line interface is put to a lot of use, which ultimately translates into bash scripts. Launching them on photos with Nautilus Actions is now a feature I couldn't do without. So a dedicated interface needs to take this into account, instead of merely following the paradigm set by other platforms. This is a bit off topic, but since you're involved in user interfaces for photo tools, I thought it was worth stating. :-) Charlie -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
