ENLIGHTENED FILE-MANAGERS, blah on #edevelop

Azundris evidence links against GTK, not ewl, for the time 
         being. They may be an ewl-version once ewl has the widgets we need.  
Azundris What I'd like is GTK using evas stuff rather than GDK.  
         You know, GDK-wrappers for evas.
Azundris It'd have to have magic properties for alpha and stuff, 
         of course.
Azundris As evidence uses GTK already, I feel it should use all 
         the fancy E stuff if it's there, but should also compile without it 
         (internal file-ops if no efsd, plain files or GConf if no edb)
chaos    argh, another abstraction layer :)
Azundris I might do both, selectable at compile-time.  I need to 
         work with both, anyway, and it's not like they are overly
         complicated. Won't bloat neither, because you don't *compile in* both.
Azundris grins.  "I'm a sucker for abstraction layers.  Those that don't slow
         down or bloat stuff, anyways."
Azundris chaos_: It's not like I were a major GConf fan.  GConf1 
         blew up in my face too often for that.
...
Azundris grins.  "That's not even my major prob with nautilus.  It's a)
         nautilus does really offer a lot of options for its size, and
         b) I can't turn off all the (tool/status) bars I want to turn off. I 
         like my windows uncluttered.
Azundris basically, the e stuff with be all front-end.  you need 
         files, you ask efsd.  you need a file-op (mv,unlink,mkdir,...), you
         ask efsd.  you want to view/edit a specific file's info, there's a
         helper app for that.  the front-ends do their nice displaying, their
         D&D, and their IPC.  Everything else, they're not responsible for.
Azundris Upshot: the view apps stay lean and mean.  no 
         news-browsing bullshit.  no duplication of code.
chaos    nice plan.
Azundris even if you open, say, both evidence and essence, the 
         memory hit will be minor, as they both use the same efsd backend for 
         file-ops, and the same helpers for file-info.
