Oh... I guess you are planning to rewrite the whole libfm with vala, aren't you? Well, this is _really_ a problem for me because I do not think that vala is right thing here. Maybe I will have to fork the program and develop it by myself sometime in the future. :( > Can you also take a look at our bug tracker and see if you can help? > We need to fix the most important ones of them to have a 1.0 stable release. > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156956&atid=801864 > Here are known bugs to fix. Maybe you have fixed many of them? I applied some patches from the bug tracker, they are marked in the commit history with links to the appropriate tracker entries. > This file manager has the change to be a fairly good one, but it's too buggy > ATM and I'm really too busy. The problem of file managers in Linux is that there are too much of them. :) All of them implement the same things: copy, paste, file properties, "open with" and so on. I think there should be some API to do such standard things, so developers of all these file managers could focus on inventing and implementing new features, instead of reinventing "the wheel" over and over. And... libfm just provides that API. So I believe pcmanfm is not just "a fairly good file manager", but it has a chance for much more. For now I've tried to add libfm's support to the dirmenu plugin of lxpanelx (it is my fork of lxpanel), and it works quite fine (except for a couple of bugs that I have already fixed in my branch). And I hope to find a dozen more use cases for this library. :-) -- Regards, Vadim Ushakov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Lxde-list mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-list
