However, it is unlikely to help in many cases, only when you're *only* interested in name and file type (not including e.g. mime type (and thus icon)) is this useful. One particular place it *is* useful though is typeahead completion which is what benjamin needs it for, and i guess we should do that in nautilus too. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

If you have patches, even if not yet perfect, you should file (a) bug(s) in Bugzilla. Keep in mind, patches will go into git master, not previous versions, usually. You should have a look at Benjamin's patches in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663570 ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
