Auke, I think you're missunderstanding me.. may be my english is too bad.. hey, I'm a developer too.. I know things are not easy, and I know this is an opensource project and you do what you can and when you can..
I never said that he should leave everything else to make this.. I didn't say either that his work is bad.. The only reason I wrote that mail is that I don't agree with Stavros that this way is safer. If you read my previous message more quietly, you will find that I never said that you should call cp/mv commands from c.. In fact, I said the opposite: "I guess that he is not calling system cp/mv", so, again, your judgment is wrong sofar escribió: >Please remember Thunar is in development stage - Benny is working on maybe 20 >different parts of thunar and does a great job at it too - but he's not >(insert favorite superhero) either, and some code components will get a lower >priority. > > I think you're missunderstanding me.. may be because my english is too bad.. hey, I'm a developer too..

If you read my previous message more quietly, you will find that I never said that you should call cp/mv commands from c.. In fact, I said the opposite: "I guess that he is not calling system cp/mv", so, again, your judgment is wrong... I don't think that this is easy.. in fact.. I think that if one feature is missing, probably is because it's not so easy to implement it. >Copy+Delete is a safe (and quick to write) way to implement "move" for now, it >will be replaced later with more sophisticated code, because it's the right >thing.

"for now" is what makes the difference between your opinion and stavros'.. and that was my only point in my mail.. >Also, Please quote at the top, not at the bottom - it is unclear what/who you >are replying too. > Ok, sorry :-) .. hey, as I said, I'm a developer too, and as you, I find too irritating when someone thinks that my work is easy.. so, and understand you, and don't blame you if you're angry with me.. but believe me, that was never my intention.. I can't help you programming this because I'm a java developer and my C knowledge is not as good as yours, but beleive me when I say that I'd be very glad to help you though I don't know how. greetings, Hernán _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
