There isn't. There are serious performance issues, because a i286 with 4MB of RAM running WinFile.exe on Windows 3.x can do *a lot* more than an AMD Duron 950 with 256 MB of RAM running Nautilus. This sucks. A file manager is a damn simple and basic application. A basic application, intended to run most of the time to do the most basic thins in an OS like launching programs, copying and opening documents, should not hog the performance or eat all the memory. The file manager must be lightweight. Or people will continue to rip Nautilus off GNOME. Make a poll and you will see how much people rip Nautilus off because it is slow or, in the worst case, don't even use GNOME at all. I've brought up this discussion because I *use* Nautilus. Many people here that say they are against extension-based MIME type recognition admit that they don't use Nautilus at all. I ripped off content-based MIME type detection from my GNOME-VFS and now I got decent (acceptable) performance in Nautilus. And all my friends that use GNOME are asking me to help them do the same. Users don't care about content sniffing. They simply want decent performance. If content sniffing was possible with decent performance, it would be a bonus, but users would still not care about removing it. -- Fabio Gomes de Souza <fabio@xxxxxxxxxx> (+55 81 9127-0597) .- GS2 TECNOLOGIA DA INFORMACAO LTDA :: www.gs2.com.br |- IT Infrastructure :: Security :: Embedded systems :: Linux `- Olinda, Brazil - +55 81 3492-7777 - negocios@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
