Description Darin Adler 2001-09-10 01:22:32 UTC
We could write a separate bug for each call if we want. One example is
gnome_vfs_move.

I'd much rather we add async calls when they are needed because in the next
version of Nautilus we will use threading/sync calls instead.

Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself. Will parse
them out at my leisure , but many are GnomeVFS bugs we should look at for 2.0

Comment 1 Manuel Clos 2003-09-28 12:09:20 UTC
Is this the correct bug to track implementation of gnome_vfs_async_seek?
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2006-01-06 17:33:20 UTC
Manuel: Yes. It would be nice if somebody could go through the APIs and check where only sync versions are available.
Comment 3 Alberto Ruiz 2006-05-02 02:34:45 UTC
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I have understood that what is wanted is a list of operations that are on gnome-vfs-ops.h and are not on gnome-vfs-async-ops.h, I've made some python-foo and this is the list that I have retreived:

gnome_vfs_tell
gnome_vfs_get_file_info_uri
gnome_vfs_get_file_info_from_handle
gnome_vfs_truncate
gnome_vfs_truncate_uri
gnome_vfs_truncate_handle
gnome_vfs_make_directory_for_uri
gnome_vfs_make_directory
gnome_vfs_remove_directory_from_uri
gnome_vfs_remove_directory
gnome_vfs_unlink_from_uri
gnome_vfs_unlink
gnome_vfs_move_uri
gnome_vfs_move
gnome_vfs_check_same_fs_uris
gnome_vfs_check_same_fs
gnome_vfs_set_file_info_uri
gnome_vfs_monitor_add
gnome_vfs_monitor_cancel
gnome_vfs_forget_cache

If it is not what you were looking for, please forgive me.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2008-09-06 18:54:00 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gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports.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 this notification noise all together.
