Re: [Sugar-devel] FUSE for Journal?

There was a thread about this way back (started by me!!!...I must be getting old) about dumping to another filesystem. http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-May/024459.html The code mentioned in this thread was in the context of the school server and was written in Mono. This was also before we shipped GNOME + Sugar, so the context was a bit different. cheers, Sameer Cheers, Sridhar Sridhar Dhanapalan Technical Manager One Laptop per Child Australia M: +61 425 239 701 E: srid...@laptop.org.au A: G.P.O.

Re: [Sugar-devel] FUSE for Journal?
Actually, I have been playing with it in the last 2 days. What I am basically doing (as a proof on concept) is a xmlrpc-FUSE filesystem. Since FUSE provides a native FS interaction there is nothing special to be done, _it works_ (I mean it literally) just as a external storage device. What is very interesting about this approach is that is available also from gnome and that it doesn't require anything new/extra in sugar. If someone is interested I can upload the code somewhere this weekend.

That might allow us to bridge Nautilus field manager and the Journal.

So someone else *is* thinking about this as well :-) I was thinking of FUSE in the context of the ongoing discussion on IAEP and elsewhere of the Journal being difficult to interoperate with the expectation of a file manager. cheers, Sameer On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 2:27 PM, Sameer Verma sve...@sfsu.edu wrote: I've been messing with FUSE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) in another context (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahoe_Least-Authority_Filesystem) and was wondering if the Sugar Journal would talk to FUSE in any way.
