Description John Sullivan 2001-09-10 00:36:29 UTC
Darin and I realized that this mechanism is needed to fix other required bugs
(at least bug 41743). Darin is implementing a hashtable-based solution in
NautilusFile.

It turns out this isn't really required for the search feature, given our new
idea of how to handle FMListView. So, this is no longer a required feature, just
a bug fix.

Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com

There are two FIXMEs about this in nautilus-file.c now.

Batch move all 254 PR3 P5 bugs to 1.0.1.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
Comment 2 Damon Chaplin 2002-05-29 18:52:23 UTC
This is still relevant in GNOME2.

The comment in update_link() in nautilus-file.c is a little worrying:

	/* FIXME bugzilla.gnome.org 42044: If we don't put any code
	 * here then the hash table is a waste of time.
         */ 

It would be good to detail what it should be doing there.

Apologies for the spam- I'm removing 'bugsquad' from some keywords via the web
interface. This is a one-time only thing before I re-add bugsquad via the SQL
interface, which will generate no mail. Apologies again.
Comment 4 Aschwin van der Woude 2003-05-02 19:57:31 UTC
Fixme exists in these files for version 2.2.3:

./libnautilus-private/nautilus-file.c:1219
./libnautilus-private/nautilus-file.c:1277
./libnautilus-private/nautilus-file.c:1410
Comment 5 Tim Herold 2004-05-07 11:08:20 UTC
Closing all eazel FIXMEs because most of them are out of date. Search for
"Closing eazel FIXMEs" to get rid of this spam.
Comment 6 Stefano Teso 2011-12-04 12:11:44 UTC
Both the hash table and the FIXME are still here as of 3.3.1.1. Reopening, so we can decide which one is okay to remove. See symbolic_links and update_link () in nautilus-file.c.
