Dear sir, I have started with nautilus-main.c and nautilus-application.c to understand the nautilus code (2.30.1). Findings are as follows:
- In application.c , function unique_app_send_message(application->unique_app,COMMAND_START_DESKTOP, NULL); is responsible to draw Desktop and its contents. - Similarly in the same file, function unique_app_send_message(application->unique_app, UNIQUE_OPEN, message); is responsible to open home folder. As you suggested in the last mail, nautilus-icon-container.c has all icon related details, but doubts/queries: - How src/ and libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-container.c are related. I tried to display/debug using printf() in nautilus-icon-container.c, but control does not reach there, no print results? - I want to checkout the methodology to place icons on desktop using grid? Why focus does not goto the first item of next column on down arrow key? - How icons have no standard size to display and how icons are placed in uneven manner. Uneven means, according to the size of icon the row decides? - By which way control selects to move focus on next element of same row? Please guide in the same reference.
