Hi to everybody, Some ideas for enhance GIO. --- Why not include encrypting into GIO per example a function: ```C GFile *g_file_encrypt(GFile *file, GEnryptAlgo algorithm) ; ``` --- Or For multimedia files (Video, Music, Image) providing a way to access the meta-data: in a type like this: GMediaFileInfo --- Else because Gtk has a library for the font (pango) for drawing (cairo) for images (gdk_pixbuf), and so on... Why not get a library for playing sounds ?
GStreamer exists for playing sounds. Putting functionality for encryption or playing sounds into GIO itself would pull in a lot of code which would not be used by most projects which depend on GIO. Instead, you should be looking at adding functions to those libraries which take a GFile as a parameter. Are you looking to fill a specific gap in functionality for a project you’re working on?
