Hi Forentin, You did it just right. As first-time mailing-list user, here's a tip: always reply to replies with "Reply All" or by manually adding [email protected], that way all mailing list subscribers see your replies. About your idea: I think such a feature would be really cool. A framework to program such things (enabling certain features with authentication) called PolicyKit is currently actively developed; although it is not final yet, it is already in a good shape and enables us to develop such a feature. You could file a bug report on http://bugzilla.gnome.org (product: nautilus, which is the GNOME file manager) to get the responsible developers' attention. Additionally, it would be good to write a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a link to that bug report to be sure it is recognized. It's great that you care about the usability of GNOME. Thanks! :) Regards, Denis _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
