[Gpephone-devel] File browsing and manipulating component in G(PE)^2 projects

[YE NAN RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi, all
 
Currently, there are two branches of browsing directories and files on
target devices in our G(PE)^2 projects. One is using GemFileChooser
widget which included in GemWidget library, and the other one is
newly-updated GPE-filemanager for G(PE)^2. 
 
The GemFileChooser which is implemented with GtkFileSystem is used
variously in most of newest G(PE)^2 components, such as Contacts, Audio
and Video Player, GPE-Edit, Word Reader etc. The GPE-filemanager for
G(PE)^2 which is a updated version of orignal GPE-Filemanger in GPE
projects provides more expertice functionalities of files management and
GnomeVFS features support. 
 
These are really duplicated in G(PE)^2 project and I want to know if
there is a convienence to merge two branches into one. In my opinion, we
could encapsolute basic funcationalies such as browse, copy, move and
delete just in the GemFileChooser class which keeps original interfaces
without any changes but is re-implemented with GnomeVFS support, while
GPE-Filemanager use this class to compose its main views and add its own
management functionalities for advanced usage. With this solution,
existing components will need not to change their current implementation
but have new features imported and we have a unique approach to browse
and manipulate filesystem on the target devices.
 
Any comments and advices are appreicated.
 
Best regards,
Nan YE
