Description Bj 2007-01-11 11:12:57 CET
sorting is gone when mime icons are disabled and enabled again

when mime icons are disabled, don't draw the free space left to the name

have the archive's name without the file extension pre-entered in extraction dialog. when extracting multiple archives via the thunar plugin, use the first name.

use alternating grey/white lines in the treeview. looks better.

better "create archive" dialog: see attached image. type should all available archive types (maybe look at xarchiver code for this, it works pretty good).
Archive's name should be pre-entered when using the thunar plugin. it should hold the name of the file without extension or the name of the folder.

better "add" dialog. maybe a gtk file browser showing the current dir, a radio button to chose adding folders or files (2 dialogs are bad) and only one add button. having to click "add" twice is stupid from a user's perspective

isn't that done already? ok... will fix that.

Will be optional, it's called hinting btw. (when enabled and using the toolbar Squeeze looks a bit too much like fileroller IMHO :p)

I agree there, it wont make 0.1.0 though, it's a tricky thing.

Current implementation was made merely so Squeeze could actually be used.

the pre-entered name hasn't. the entry should hold the archive's name without the extension and create this folder where the content is to be extracted to.

the other 2 parts work fine, thanks.
