There is lots of that stuff in gconf though. Perhaps not for nautilus, but definitely for other applications. It was suggested to use the 'recent' stuff out of libegg (is that where it is now?) though. > Also, let me be the first to ask why a "recent servers" widget is > needed: Wouldn't it be simpler to create a desktop shortcut if you use > the server often?

If so, how is it effectively different from desktop shortcut? I like to keep my desktop clean (there is one icon), and from as task orientated point of view, it makes sense for my recent and/or favourite servers to be shown in the dialog where I connect to the servers. I had also considered the addition of type-ahead completion and am still toying with the idea. The dialog definitely needs some work. We need to at least have the feature set offered by the MacOS dialog (http://davyd.angrygoats.net/images/connect-to-server.jpg), although I think we can do without their layout. The Network:// view should also offer "Connect to.." as a context item (this will become more powerful when the Network:// view offers things like servers discovered by SDP (rendezvous) and so on. --d -- http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/pgp> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
