Hi, this is my first post to the list, so hello everyone ! I've been lately developping an extension for a file manager which uses emblems on folders to mark their relation with a project. I searched for a standard for per directory settings but didn't find one. My problem is with emblems, but the same goes for custom icons, custom sorting, or even localized names etc. I think the freedesktop world could really benefit from a standard addressing this concern, if it's well thought of course :-) This mail is hence a call for brainstorming, here are a few starting points : - For each folder that has custom settings, store a hidden file with the settings inside. That's what Dolphin, and the Finder on Mac OS X does. - Store all the custom settings in a centralized file, most likely in the home user directory (possibly in .config). I guess that what Nautilus does for emblems, although that needs confirmation.
What do you guys think about that ? Do you have a better answer ? Am I posting to the right list ? :-) Best regards Adrien Bustany _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
