I didn't think this would be possible. I think there would be a need for some kind of system-wide monitoring facility that acted upon file creation and the like. So Nautilus doesn't have that responsibility. Makes a lot of sense. Nautilus would only need to use the info instead of calculating it. > > -- > Ryan Boder > http://www.bitwiser.org/icanoop -- Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) GPG key ID: 0xC1033CAD at keyserver.net
