Nautilus and the gnome-vfs backend would still need to be ported. since the file chooser in the next gtk+ stable release will probably use the new GIO/GVFS API, the gnome-vfs port it's probably useless. it might also make sense to move the file chooser shortcuts API straight into GIO. > I think KDE is already using XBEL for this, and GLib also has an XBEL > parser. Are there any other obstacles than agreeing on the location and > name of such a shared bookmarks file? when I proposed the desktop bookmarks spec[1], I used $HOME/.shortcuts.xbel as the proposed storage file for the file selector shortcuts; this should probably be changed to $XDG_DATA_DIR/shortcuts.xbel or similar - I have no strong feelings towards either solutions. ciao, Emmanuele. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
