Hey, neat! More evidence of the coolness of libvfs...
I noticed three things while playing around with this:
(1) It's *slow*. My suspicion is that gmc isn't reusing connections and
reconnecting for every operation (ssh connections take a long time to
negotiate)
(2) Double-clicking on a directory in icon view doesn't enter it (this might
be a general gmc thing, I don't know)
(3) *** I can't link from the fish filesystem to the desktop. I know there
are probably some technical difficulties here, but a way to do this would
be excellent. (also, a little icon next to "Location" that represents the
cwd -- like Netscape -- would help for this).
Anyway, these aren't really critical issues. Fish is good. :-)
