Re: [gnome-flashback] Future of Nautilus desktop

[Alberts Muktupāvels <alberts muktupavels gmail com>]

Hi,

I am aware of this problem, but currently I have not much thought about this...

We can not reuse nautilus-desktop binary, that would require to fork nautilus and remove all not needed functionality. See:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/commit/6584c17896d4206a45313d49ca136c67de008b56

The diff is big and it touches many files outside nautilus-desktop dir.

Current plan is to add desktop icons to gnome-flashback like it was done with background.

It looks like the Nautilus desktop feature will be removed:

Is there any chance that the GNOME Flashback project picks up this feature? I like to have icons on the desktop.

Hi,

Same here. I am from Ubuntu-Unity desktop project. We would also like to keep icons on the desktop. Nautilus already providing a separate binary (nautilus-desktop) for desktop functionality. How difficult will it be for us to maintain that as a separate project? If it can be done we can collaborate.

Thanks.
