Perhaps I'm being daft, but how is the software (say gedit) supposed to help in the event that I click "save" to a file on a USB dongle and remove it before the buffered write to it is finished? If you find text files too small, try to imagine the same with nautilus and .oggs. That copy dialog goes away way before the data is on the actual device. "caching data" sounds like the problem we are having, not the solution. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
