That's the argument that was used to justify every app dumping its icon on the desktop. I have little doubt as soon as we start pre-creating stuff in home every app writer will feel justified in putting his helpful junk in there too. (bittorent is one example) Opt-in is better than opt-out. What's wrong with just-in-time creation ? If the user never start an app that could make use of those bits, what's the point of pre-creating them (nautilus is not a user, it's a desktop tool)? Do you really believe a user will create a huge music collection before launching totem/rhythmbox/sound-juicer once? That will only happen if he imports a huge pre-existing archive, which won't use the pre-created hierarchy anyway. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
