I'm kinda thinking that rapi or rapip would be best because it is the
protocol name and things like samba use smb:/ so in some ways there is a
global convention already set.

Subject: comments ? file browsing protocol name

Hi Guys

It's been a while since I threw out a "what do you think" question :)

As you all undoubtedly know, our two GUI file browsing plugins,
gvfs/gnomevfs and kio, use different protocol names, synce: and rapip:
respectively.

While not terrible, this is not the best thing for compatibility. I see
these options

1) Leave it and don't worry about it

2) Decide on one and change the other. I believe it is entirely possible
with either that we could have another 'legacy' type for a deprecation
period.

3) Pick another name and apply it to both. The legacy type from (2)
could then apply to both as well.

Personally I prefer synce: over rapip:, but would be averse to something
like rapi:, pocketpc:, or wince: ?

Any thoughts ?

Mark
