Ideally you'd want to use the NautilusFile machinery, since there's a better-than-good chance that the location being entered has already been cached, but NautilusFile isn't exactly the best way to tell if a file /isn't/ there, so you're almost forced to having to roll your own lookup stuff there (with query_async() and friends).
I'm not particularly in favor of this as it adds a whole lot of complexity to something that's pretty simple as it is, and potentially causes some really odd interface bugs, but I guess I shouldn't complain too loudly if I'm not doing the ground work on this ;). -- "Open location" dialog should not close on invalid path https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
