Well for files which are *.part, create a mime/type such as text/html +partial or audio/ogg+partial or even application/x-nautilus-partial (or something) which isn't previewed by nautilus. Thereby saving the CPU through it's constant desire to repreview things. Doing percentage completion would be a lot harder. Safari apparently stores the percentage completed in the metadata for the file. Perhaps this part is something to consider for later on. That said, if we added support, people would add support. --d -- http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/pgp> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
