Now if we are talking about some kind of vFolder it would be entirely possible to hide the nastiness that is FHS (and by deity I hate the FHS) and we could solve translation issues as well I think since a vFolder could be created in runtime and wouldn't rely on physical presence on the harddrive. I imagine Beagle or Tracker would be our friends in this area. If a proposal to fix this once and for all is to be made, let's addresse all the issues and do the work upstream where possible. Simply renaming the directories will be not solve every issue the FHS has nor will it provide the extensions we need on the desktop to make assumptions as to placement of files by type. The only sane thing to do is to create a vFolder on the fly on a per session basis using search results from something like Beagle. We could thus assume putting photos in ~/.photos and having a generated search folder for photos localized (encompassing .photos and everywhere else in ~), in my case that would be ~/Billeder (da_DK.UTF-8) for use in Nautilus and as a bonus it would be visible in the terminal as well if we did it correctly at least. - David Nielsen -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
