Weird behaviour. Aside the fact that filename extension doesn't really dictate the file-type as much as it does verify it, it looks like the XML you're saving isn't plain text. As a result, it doesn't verify as text/plain (.txt). > 2) Could you get it to mount the file systems so that they are available > from the shell as well as the gui ? > Sorry, this is another Windows hangover, but is none the less incredibly > frustrating. GNOME-VFS doesn't "mount" anything. If you want something similar to a text-mode nautilus interactive shell, we could of course start talking about a hypothetical "gnomesh". :P -- Alex Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
