Where was that announced? ;-) Canonical did not decide anything here and had no role in Marlin. It was just Nautilus upstream which said that[hackisk] for a /few/ patches, which was mostly the n-e toolbar editor. And we did try to work with Nautilus upstream and iirc some code has been merged but upstream is busy atm with their own work, further with their 'new' designs were not very open to suggestions or ideas which had worked in nautilus-elementary. The lead programmer who worked on nautilus-elementary had found nautilus code to be very bloated and had started working on a faster file browser a while ago. But just dint have time to spend on releasing a new browser until recently. At the same time Nautilus upstream had trouble with people filing n-e bugs in Nautilus bugzilla, and were not happy with the naming of this fork. What better timing for Marlin..? ;-) Maybe for 11.1O cycle we can switch from Nautilus to Marlin, if Marlin is ready.. ;) -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
