Hello Vadim Ushakov*,*
I'm going to merge most of your changes to my libfm/pcmanfm repos
since most of them look quite nice. Thank you.
I, however, have some questions about this.
1. We're now preparing for 1.0 stable release, and the UI is now considered
frozen.
We can do the UI improvement in the next release, but not now. In
addition, new
strings cannot be added at the moment. So, I'd like to put some of your
UI changes
to a separate branch rather than master branch.
2. If I just want to pull your other fixes to my master branch, and leave
your major UI
changes in a separate feature branch, what's the better strategy to do
it?
Git cherry-pick seems to work in this case, but it seems to cause future
merging
problems as well. I'm not that familiar with git, so please give some
suggestions.
I'll try to incorporate your UI changes later, but for the incoming
release, it's better to merge
the important bug fixes first. Any suggestions on how to do this cleanly?
I don't think forking the project is needed as we're mostly moving toward
the
same direction. Any chance to cooperate? If Vala is a problem for you, I'll
limit its use
in specific places only, such as the actions module.
There is no plan to rewrite the program with vala.
For thumbnail generation part, I used FmPath for hash key rather than
FmFileInfo
pointers simply because sometimes you may want to load a thumbnail but you
don't have
a FmFileInfo structure at hand. Requiring query of file infos prior to
loading thumbnails can be expansive in some potential use cases. That's why
it's designed like this.
To improve performance, it's possible to cache the FmPath hash value in
FmPath
structure itself. Though this costs 4 bytes per FmPath structure.
For the ffmpeg thumbnailer part, supporting external thumbnailers is
planned, but I did not
do it because there is no reliable way to correctly detect existing
thumbnailers installed.
There must be a way to detect available thumbnailers rather than
hard-coding ffmpeg.
In Gnome 2 the installed thumbnailers are registered in gconf. Too bad!
However, we can generate a list with gconftool and cache the list so we
don't need
gconf at runtime. (this is not very clean, either).
In Gnome 3, the way to install thumbnailers changed again, and it's even
undocumented.
In XFCE, they use tumbler and the way to install thumbnailers seems to be
differ again.
How to get a list of installed thumbnailers reliably? To best of my
knowledge, I cannot find one. :-(
Maybe we can have a cached list of thumbnailers once we have good
gnome-independent ways to detect them.
Any comments?
