Change of file/folder icon size depending upon access/modifications
Last modified: 2010-07-06 21:13:12 UTC
Change in icon size would make user to easily find the files/folders he/she is using very recently. Other information:
Created attachment 95395 [details] [review] Patch to scale icons based upon the access/modifications This patch add a optional preference in nautilus icon_view to scale icons of files/folders based upon the file access/modification time. Files are scaled based upon the access time and folders are based upon the modification time, to avoid unnecessary scaling of folders. (As folders are accessed very frequently without user's knowledge).
I have put the patch to reported bug. I would like to implement this feature based on opacity of icons. But I can't find any way to handle opacity/transparancy of icons. GTK pixbuf doesn't support any opacity at now. But I think XComposite does support that. Is GTK has any plan to add support for opacity? Would like if any one help with this issue.
This sounds a bit weird, I'm not sure it's a good idea. Do you have any screenshots of Nautilus with your patch? Maybe it would be a good idea to write a mail to the nautilus and the usability mailing lists (better with screenshot or mockup attached) asking for feedback. As for the patch itself, I didn't review it fully but I'm marking it as "needs-work" because it doesn't follow the Nautilus code style (no C++ comments, always put a space before brackets, use 8-spaces tabs for indentation, always use curly brackets to surround a block, even if it's a one-liner).
No updates here for a long time. Am marking as incomplete. Please get back if you want to pursue this issue.
Changing component as a part of ongoing reorganisation work.
