[Gnomecommander-development] Welcome!!!

[Luciano C. <ln...@ho...>]

(I'm covering this to)Hi to all: (Dimitar, Thiago, Vikram):

This message is the first of the list. It is the intention to this list to 
help to us the deployment of the gCommander project.  First of all, thanks 
to all of you to help this project.
The Main goal of this project is to give gnome an application to manage 
FileSystem (Copy, Move, Rename, View, Edit, etc) in only one program, in an 
easy way to do that.
Once said that, I am going to explain which are the tasks that we would have 
(in my opinion) to do for the first stage:

1) Until now, the main window is almost complette, the navigation between 
the diferent panels are already supported, the navigation of directory tree 
is working. There are various fixes to do:
   - The tab button must navigate from one panel to the other and not focus 
the other objects.
   - The status bar must show the info about the selected file/folder and 
the panel selected and his folder (i'm on this)
   - The navigation between folders must check if the directory exists, if 
not, could posibily throw and exception (I'm on this to)
   - The API who give the default gnome icon (of the selected theme) of a 
file, throw a Warning saying that is obsolete, we must change for the right 
one.

2) Select / Undo Select Files: The posibility to select the file and folders 
with some **patterns** like * or.
(I'm covering this to)

3) Create Folder Dialog: This dialog is for create folder and files.
(I'm covering this to)

4) Copy/Move Files: This is one of the main tasks. The idea of this task is 
to make a dialog with progressbar, to copy or move files. Maybe a 
possibility is to use a gnome internal library with PInvoke or the Gnome.Vfs 
(Gnome-Sharp Library) to copy/move files.

5) Rename Files: It is the idea of this task to rename files or folders 
(Selected)

6) Delete Files: It is the idea to delete the current selected file (if it 
is the only selected) or all of the files if its are selected. (This is 
related to the second point )

7) Execute Custom Action: the idea is to execute custom action, typed in the 
"Execute" Text Entry.  (Example: If i want to execute vi, i type vi and 
press button execute)

8) Drives and Devices: Is the idea to detect when a folder is a device, and 
change the icon. The posibility to have direct access from the toolbar 
button to the floppy disk or the CD/DVD disk.

9) File Permissions: the idea is to change/see the attributes of the 
files/folders selected (The owner to)

10) Search File: the idea is an automatically search for a pattern (maybe 
regular expression) between directory tree.

11) View Files: the idea is to call the "default" gnome editor, (or maybe a 
configurable editor) and open the current selected file.

12) Edit File: the idea (maybe the most dificult task) is to deploy and 
hexa/text editor to see binary/text files. (In the future it is a plan to 
see images/gzip/tar etc).

Feel free to take one of this task, and start coding. Maybe the best is to 
send an e-mail to the list to tell us that you are working on one of this 
task.
The svn is checked out (all with the command):
svn co https://gnomecommander.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnomecommander 
gnomecommander

This svn is (in this moment) organized in
/md/gcommander
in this folder is the MonoDevelop Solution file.
In the project Solution there are various files, and folders:
MainWindow.cs (like the name says, the main window File) and 2 folders, fs 
(wich have all the fileSystem Operations/Class) and UI (wich have all the 
UserInterfase Operations/Class).
Feel free to modify anythink, i'm not expert in nothing, maybe it is all 
wrong :)

The code is actually very/basic and under heavy deployment.

Bye to all!!! And i wait for your questions/suggestions/Code

Luciano.

Ps: Sorry!!! I am still not fluent in English  (Thanks Dimitar to teach this 
phrase)
