I think it would be better for most users if these filesystems were properly suppported by thunar. By putting icons above the shortcuts they look like removable media devices (which is as close an analogy as I think you can make).
fusesmb is a nice simple example since it requires no configuration. If the fusesmb binary is found in the path a device icon could appear with "Windows Shares" written on it, so that when the user clicks it a script is run which executes fusesmb (like my script before) and then thunar navigates to that directory. These scripts could either be distributed with thunar (enable/disabled by the user) or via a project in the same way as thunar-thumbnailers. Maybe it would be better to stick it in the xfce-places panel plugin as a test, just to see how it works? _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
