being GNOME far from having a pure document-centric system, I'd say that the burden of demonstrating that a photo is a document for the user lies on you. anyway, I agree that from a theoretical standpoint a "photo" is a document; but for the user a photo is a photo (is a photo); a mp3 track is music; and an openoffice word processor file is a document. document is something akin to "text", be it in form of words (word processor) or numbers (spreadsheet). > > as are my photos, my pictures (yes, it's > > different), my videos, etc. > > Documents in this context does not mean only office documents as some have > taken it to mean, it means users files, as opposed to configes. not in my experience as an administrator. a document is usually an office document in the mind of most users. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
