Hello! Is there any progress on the GtkFileChooserBackend for GIO?
Now when we have a good VFS/GIO in glib why not just deprecate GtkFileSystem API and some of the GtkFileChooser API and only have one "backend" namely GIO. If I am correct GIO already working backends for native Windows/Unix and by that we dont need the old GTkFile* stuff? This way we hopefully can get the FileChooser to be less abstract :-) Also IMHO. there is some that should/must be fixed in GtkFileChooser: 1. Enter ".." in the location entry and then press <Return> should NOT close the dialog it should insted jump to parent dir the same way as if you enter "../" (same for subdirectorys in the same folder not close dialog just jump to that folder) 2. There should atleast be a way to rename files in the FileChooserDialog. That will probadly be simple to implement atleast in the GIO backend? 3. Copy/Move/Paste feature. If not directly in the dialog atleast it must be possible to copy selected files/folders to the clipboard and paste it in a filebrowser like nautilus. 4. A button or popup menu with an option to "Open current folder in a filebrowser (nautilus?)" I would gladly help fix this bugs/features but first I need to check all the related stuff. The FileChooser is very abstract IMHO...
