I know you can enforce this in each module, but it seems quite odd. > The match stands for the object that has been found (e.g. a file or a e-mail). Therefore, get_name() should return the name of this object. Actions on the other hand do something with this object. Most of the time the description of a action is more complex than that of a match.

If it has more than one action match's get_name() will be displayed. In my opinion it's confusing when the description of the default action is displayed. If more actions available it seems that the action has more actions. But on the other hand: when only the name of the match is displayed how should the user know what the default action is? > > PS: The Action api also has richer formatting options.

Whereas actions are more complex. - -- Greetings, Sebastian Pölsterl -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG/L7+1ygZeJ3lLIcRAmytAJ9fHGh8dsJsQpT4lcOLPxuyJHGeqgCePakE VLP5giwJRyAMyq1JJcYspYo= =k7kz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ deskbar-applet-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/deskbar-applet-list
