2005-06-30 Thread Ori Bernstein
While I agree with Benedikt about Thunar not being ROX, I still think that ROX has some very good ideas that can be sto^H^H^Hinnovated. One of them is their "Directories Spring Open" feature. This feature makes file management a great deal easier for both the advanced user and the intermediate use

[Thunar-dev] Thunar is not ROX

2005-06-30 Thread Benedikt Meurer
Just talked to Ori on IRC concerning certain ROX features, and why not to include them. I think it's important to remember that Thunar is not ROX and we have completely different goals. There's no need to emulate ROX, as people that want to use ROX will happily use ROX. We don't need another "R

As for plugins for url handlers, it would be a magnificent idea to have a camera:// interface, a plugin based on libgphoto2. It would display thumbnails for photos in the camera's memory, allow for copying them to local hard drive and deleting from the camera. What do you think about such an ide

My bit of opinion: why don't we add some sort of button|toggle|menu|anything-else so the user save that view for that folder? What I mean is this: Thunar should only remember that folder config if requested to do it, otherwise use the default-view|actual-view. That would solve the problem of: user
