Hello List, A quick introduction before my main email: I am a gap-year student in the UK, with a year long job placement. I write automation software for Windows applications but have no Linux programming experience beyond compiling other people's code - I am keen to change this as soon as I am not programming all day at work and a little bit less busy afterwards. I am very interested in UI design and use only free software at home. I've been reading the list about 5 months now...
So, take my suggestions in the light of that description. Ultimately, I'd like opinions on the idea of adding search, MIME-type specific actions and preview functionality to Nautilus' Sidebar. The idea is to present fewer options on screen by only presenting what is relevant to what the user is doing. See http://mailforwho.googlepages.com/nautilussidebarextensions There I suggest an implementation that would hopefully require adding very few extra dependencies to Nautilus by having a 'container' in Nautilus that can display results from different engines. Broadly I think this is a similar idea, but not design, to Project Dashboard (www.nat.org/dashboard) - though I don't know that they have any intentions to integrate into Nautilus I eagerly await any feedback you have relating to the idea itself, the feasibility of the way I suggested doing it, or anything else related to this. Thanks in advance Who _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
