- FUSE and Gnome-vfs seems to share many goals, with two very different approachs. How would you compare them, both from a theoretical pov and a practical user pov?

- The recent progress on inotify seems promising for Nautilus users' experience, thanks to the Gamin library. Are there any other kernel level changes that you expect or dream of?

- There exist, at least at an academic research state, some very interesting works about "Logical File System" and things like that, which allow for instance to navigate in an mp3 files collection by echoing commands like:
# cd "year<=1980"
# cd "style=Disco|Funk"
# mpg123 *
Ever thought of what a GUI file manager for that kind of file systems would look like?

Puisque son proxy est méchant, je copie sa question ici :

existe-il des projets pour Gnome 3 ? Un consensus se dégage-il sur un langage de haut niveau (Python ou Java ou C#) ou bien c'est le C qui va rester ?

Nautilus handles some various metadata:
* Notes and icons to tag files with related info,
* File sharing information - like with epittance
* File previews for images
* tags on music files
Is it easy to extend nautilus to support new metadata (eg new media formats)?
Are you working with kde & others to standardize on new metadata types (for notes and previews)?

Do you have any ideas of useful metadata to support?
