I think that policy should go in the file manager itself, not as part of the D-Bus API. Otherwise we'll get a similar problem to what we had a few years ago, when apps wanted to offer various modes of opening web pages from the web browser, but the browser had a different opinion. > ShowInFolder, ShowItem, or SelectItem might be more appropreate than > ShowFile IMHO.

OK, so we have these so far: ShowFolder (uri, startup_id) ShowItem (uri, startup_id) ShowItemProperties (uri, startup_id) Seems like we are ready to set these in stone, correct? :) Federico _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
