I'd love to be able to check a file (or set of files) and see a list of the storage-locations (devices, partitions, online services ...) it exists on. With schedules for sync (immediately, once an hour, ...), and progress indication. Ideally we would get rid of the implicit definition of where a file is stored via its place in the filesystem tree, as this currently leads to 2 possible outcomes on dragging files around. Perhaps something like that could be married to an inheritance scheme, where you define the rules for a set, to then create exceptions/changes/additions on lower levels. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
