Without checking the docs I'd say it would have to. Constructing a GFile should not do any IO per contract. Indeed the docs confirm this, g_file_new_for_uri (): "Constructs a GFile for a given URI. This operation never fails, but the returned object might not support any I/O operation if uri is malformed or if the uri type is not supported." -- Cheers, Mikkel _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
