Actually, the desktop search engines around are planning on providing such things (random metadata for files). Tracker does this by design, and I think the beagle team is planning on providing a similar feature. >> 2. renaming the file in the file manager causes the >> app to update its title bar accordingly > sounds perfect. Main issue is: how to do it? I'm not aware of any way of doing such things currently. AFAIK gnome-vfs monitoring can tell you a file has been deleted, but can't tell you if the deletion is a move, and were it moved. (It might want a bugzilla enhancement request, but I don't know if it's solvable) _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
