Hi everyone, It's too late for feature proposal, but I've been encouraged to post this here anyway.
Sushi [1] is a quick previewer application, targeting integration with file managers such as Nautilus - you can read more about it in a blog post I wrote some time ago [2], but it works in a similar way to OSX Quicklook and Gloobus-Preview [3]. The project is still very young (I've been working on and off on it in the last month or so), but it's working well already, it supports quite a lot of file formats and Nautilus 3.1.1 can already make use of it, if it's installed on the system (no strict dependencies are required, since its start-up is implemented as a DBus-activated service). I envision this could be also useful outside of Nautilus, (GtkFileChooser comes to mind, but it might be useful for Finding and Reminding/Journal too?), but I don't yet have grand integration plans for it. The project uses the GNOME infrastructure, depends on a number of libraries of our platform already (Clutter, GTK+, WebKitGTK, GStreamer) and a couple of other popular external libraries (libmusicbrainz, GtkSourceView support is in the pipeline) but it's still lacking a Bugzilla product (it could probably even use a Nautilus component for it). So, with the new moduleset arrangement, does this qualify as a "OS feature"? Does this need to go under some sort of approval/discussion outside of the Nautilus forums? We didn't use to propose new features for modules already in the desktop moduleset, but I've now been encouraged to write about this project as targeting a feature. This case is probably a bit borderline, as it's technically a new module (so it would map to the old "new module proposal" process we used to have), but it's used only by one application (Nautilus) currently...the end result is I'm a bit confused :) [1] http://git.gnome.org/browse/sushi [2] http://blogs.gnome.org/cosimoc/2011/04/29/sushi/ [3] http://gloobus.net/ Cheers, Cosimo _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
