[opensuse-gnome] nautilus trash enhancement
Hi, I wrote a patch to restore trash file in Nautilus in Opensuse 11. The bug uri is : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=395497 Patch is at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=218936 I think some of the current trash behaviors in Nautilus were strange. For example, we can open the file in trash but in fact most application do not support uris begin with "trash:///" . And some plugins Encrypt/Sign seems meanless to the trash file, so maybe we can mask them from the right-clicked menu. There need more enhancement like: view the original path in the Properity page. Set the max size of the trash in each volumn. Where I can found the exist discussion about trash? Thank you.

There are two lists relevant to this discussion. The Nautilus list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list The GVFS list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gvfs-list If you're interested in discussing file management features, you should sign up for both. You should probably bring up the features you mention on the Nautilus list. The way patches are reviewed in GNOME is, you file a bug and attach the patch ( at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ ), and if there is no reaction and you get impatient, write a "patch nag" mail to the relevant mailing list and link to the bug, asking for review. For bigger features, it's a good idea to always discuss them on the list first (in general, you'll get a more positive response if you mention you'd be willing to implement the feature). I'm looking forward to seeing your trash-restore patch in a future Nautilus release :) Thanks a lot, David. -- Hans Petter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
