This includes overwrite and skip dialogs. * Mounting and browsing of sftp:, smb:, network: and computer: URIs. Planned * Shared progress dialog with tray icon which is used by all jobs (inspired by presented here but with a little more control e.g. via cancel buttons). text/html 2009-06-16T01:40:44+02:00 Jannis Pohlmann http://lunar-linux.org/~jannis/migrating-thunar-to-gio/implementation/thunar-vfs-references-progress?rev=1245109244&do=diff ... or: which ones are left. Thunar ThunarVFS is used almost everywhere inside Thunar. All appearances in the code have to be replaced with equivalent (or improved) implementations based on GIO. In order to do that, we first have to collect information about all the ThunarVFS references in the code. Afterwards, we can determine what to do with each reference. text/html 2009-05-11T03:00:35+02:00 Jannis Pohlmann http://lunar-linux.org/~jannis/migrating-thunar-to-gio/implementation/bugs?rev=1242003635&do=diff Bugs Worth Mentioning * Creating a file “foo” when there is a directory “foo” asks the user whether he wants to overwrite the “file” (which is actually a directory). It seems more appropriate to just show an error because overwriting directories can cause significant data loss. * Renaming/moving a file while the properties dialog is open closes the properties dialog. It would be nice if the dialog updated itself instead of being closed. * With the path bar enabled, renaming the current fo… text/html 2009-04-27T20:51:58+02:00 Jannis Pohlmann http://lunar-linux.org/~jannis/migrating-thunar-to-gio/implementation/gio-gvfs-shortcomings?rev=1240858318&do=diff Volume Monitoring We use to be pretty conservative with regards to the GTK+/GLib versions Xfce releases depend on. The target versions for Xfce 4.8 and Thunar 1.2 are GTK+ 2.14 and GLib 2.16. Unfortunately, the HAL based monitor in GVfs has a few major shortcomings.
