The use case is that I just want to open a file in nautilus. It's much easier for me to have nautilus tell me: "wait, this file is still incomplete" than scanning through my download progress dialog. Actually, what I'd really like would be a generic "this file is currently being written to" emblem/icon state/indication that is not only for downloads. -- Philipp -- nautilus-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
