I assume you mean: http://projects.gnome.org/libgsf/gsf-Compression.html? I could not find the GIO wrapper in the documentation (assuming that it is unreleased yet?). Anyways - my question is really if this functionality should not be in GLib/GIO? Adding a native GIO impl. would of course be looking heavily towards what already exists in Gsf. -- Cheers, Mikkel _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
