this is questionable at best. > Users expect all the file manager functionality from the dialog, so > effectively the whole Nautilus gets recoded as a "Save as..." dialog, > doubling the effort, bugs, fixes etc. no, "users" don't expect this. and nautilus is a file *manager*, that is an application to move, copy and generally view the file system; at best, it could replace an *open* dialog. > We have it all coded in Nautilus, so why cannot we just use it? well, because nautilus is way above the stack and gtk+ is way below it? > There should be a "save as" mode in Nautilus. and pray tell, what would such "save as" mode look like? > When the GTK+ dialog is > called, it should check if there is Nautilus present (it does that > already, to show the mime icons AFAIR) no, it doesn't. and it never did. > If not - show the old plain GTK+ dialog without all the fancy stuff. I have a better idea than executing an external command that works only on GNOME: as soon as we have gvfs and GTK+ can depend on it, we won't need the gnomevfs file system backend in libgnomeui (which is there because it can depend on gnome-vfs, while gtk+ cannot); then we have just one code path to use inside the FileChooser widgets. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ gnome-devel-list mailing list gnome-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-devel-list
