Severity: enhancement
Version: 1.5.14
Synopsis: "Folder" type of launcher
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel

Description:
now panel support only "Application" type to folder launcher to call via
nautilus.
this is out of expect. I remember there's "file:" type definition of
MIME.
panel have to refer the MIME to call "Folder" type launcher.

and if panel support "Folder", we can operate copy or move files by the
panel launcher of "Folder" type.

Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2002-03-20 11:37:42 UTC 
Hmm, this is one for you George :-)
Comment 2 Glynn Foster 2002-03-20 17:39:00 UTC 
Um, I was just thinking this...and really this doesn't make a lot of
sense to an average user. Is this *really* important?
Comment 3 kz 2002-03-20 17:42:21 UTC 
I think, if implemented, this *will be* really important.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-03-20 22:26:44 UTC 
It's definitely an enhancement. It would be a very nice enhancement,
but an enhancement nevertheless. Note that it would be fairly easy to
fake, since I'm fairly sure that you can just do a launcher with
'nautilus dirname'.
Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2002-03-21 11:09:25 UTC 
Actually Luis, I'm not convinced. I *think* this is supposed to work,
but George is the one who would no for sure ... putting it back up so
I don't forget about it
Comment 6 Luis Villa 2002-03-21 23:07:14 UTC 
Fair enough :) George?
Comment 7 George Lebl 2002-04-12 21:06:31 UTC 
Hmm, well the thing is that the Folder type is for describing folders
and not for launchers.  I think this would break spec of the .desktop
file.  I don't know.  Would have to check.  Though it wouldn't be hard
to implement.
Comment 8 George Lebl 2002-04-19 23:36:58 UTC 
This should use the Link type of a launcher.  This doesn't completely
work yet, but it shouldn't be hard.  Just use Link and then specify an
uri of the directory to open as the URL.  This is what Link is for
Comment 9 Seth Nickell 2002-05-11 19:58:42 UTC 
Is this really a 2.0.0 bug though? And I think it should be marked
enhancement.
Comment 10 Luis Villa 2002-05-13 03:55:17 UTC 
Seth: the 2.0.0 that really matters to release team and others is the
GNOME2.0.0 keyword; maintainers can use the milestone field to their
heart's content but the one in the keyword line is the one I'll be
bitching about really soon :)
Comment 11 Vincent Untz 2004-11-26 09:56:30 UTC 
Ok, this is not a bug.
AFAIK, the folder type is only used for Folder in the menus. Not "real" folders.
Real folders should just use the link type.
