Thanks. That code seems to handle all sorts of data in removable media, including programs to be run from the media, music files to be played, etc. It seems comprehensible, but the comments are extremely sparse. Most functions have nothing to say what job they do except the function name. I recommend improving this. Meanwhile, others have told me about the program that is specifically for autorunning software, so I will look at that next. -- Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
