Over the next week I'll finally get around to finishing the implementation of eeze mount support (from the 1.1 branch) in e17 that I've been working on irregularly for some time. Given that eeze mounting is quite a bit more flexible than the mount functionality of other desktops, this gives us some potentially interesting options that I'd like to guage interest in:
*network fs mounting (FUSE/NFS/etc) *other partition mounting (ie. anything not currently mounted) *disk image mounting Eeze 1.1 already supports all of the above through currently existing api calls, and so if these are features that we are interested in then I am willing to write all of the necessary backend eeze code to make it work. What I would need, however, is someone who knows the E widget api and whatnot to create the gui (can be done however you like, I can even write the eeze code to your specifications) since I have no knowledge of it and no desire to learn it at this moment. Some other possibly interesting features to consider/comment on based on eeze 1.1 functionality that people may not be aware of: *static disk properties - eeze is able to "track" all disks so that we can save properties for them *realtime *tab monitoring/parsing - eeze can be set to automatically track fstab and mtab, allowing the user to mount/unmount things based on any matching property (/sys/$path, /dev/$path, uuid, hardware info/type, filesystem, etc) which could be useful in apps such as enjoy to use for synchronizing external mp3 players *simple api for gathering disk infos which would be useful for an app that might, for instance, need to gather the specs of an attached digital camera. I'll probably bump this thread in a couple weeks for people who are on vacation since e17's release is some time off and these are some useful features that would make e shine (sshfs mounting remote disks on an embedded device anyone? :)) -- Mike Blumenkrantz Zentific: We run the three-legged race individually. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
