Hello: This week I was working over the PCmanFM-qt in order to adapt it to MoonLightDE. In the process I found some "issues" that I would like discuss with you. The first thing is the number of abstraction layers, PCmanFM-qt is built on top of libfm-qt which is built over libfm which is built over the gvfs client api which allows us to communicate with the gvfs daemon throw DBUS, those are 3 abstraction layers between pcmanfm and the real gvfs daemon. In my opinion this not only affect the performance but also increase the system complexity.
The second aspect is functionality replication between libfm and the Qt libs. In this case we have mimetypes management, xmlparsing and icons cache. This also happen with some of the functionalities of libqtxdg. I would like to improve those aspects but before I would like to hear your opinions about it. Cheers -- Eng.
