Description Maciej Stachowiak 2001-09-10 00:44:31 UTC
Right now we store them in a metafile on local disk; storing them via the normal
WebDAV mechanism would probably work better.

gnome-vfs has been fixed so that Nautilus can store .nautilus-metafile.xml
files. The gnome-vfs metadata model will need to be revised for this bug to be
further fixed.

Maybe Ian McKellar will do this. If he doesn't, we can do without it.

Setting all bugs to P6 to start official bug-prioritization plan. Please don't
set the priority to anything other than P6 unless you've got the gold seal of
approval for doing so.

clean up, this bug is unattended since more than
3.5 yrs ago, and was talking about gnome-vfs 1.x.
Comment 2 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2005-04-22 08:54:52 UTC
this bug is still being talked about in the wider scope of better metadata handling.

reopen.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:13:37 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gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports.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.
