Description Alex Graveley 2005-12-09 08:36:45 UTC 
There is currently no way to get the current version of gnome-vfs, and alter
application behavior based on features available in the current version.

See gtkversion.h (compile-time) and gtkmain.h:gtk_check_version (run-time).
Comment 1 Christian Kellner 2006-07-13 19:24:36 UTC 
I have just added the compile-time part. Going to add the run-time version later.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:13:48 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
