Or a folder containing a bunch of launcher files (no need for nasty new URIs, and standard file tools can be used) but yeah I had a similar feeling in case I didn't make it clear in my previous post > what would we miss from your proposed > dialog here if we moved to using Nautilus? Like I said the notion of treating everything as a file is a very powerful one which continues to be applicable. making things work in a generic and consistent way has interesting implications and makes any new tools much more reusable instead of having to implement applications specific search tools each time. - Alan _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
