Re: RE : new mime detection approach

[Anne et Bertrand <anneetbertrand wanadoo fr>]

I've applied the patches you attached to your mail to my current 
gnome-vfs and nautilus 2.4.1.
I've noticed a significant speed-up when loading directories. There is 
still a long delay before parsing on very large directories (over 1000 
items) but it's much less long than before. Maybe you have 
nautilus-thumbnailers installed : I had them removed because it's 
painfully slow, as slow as are some thumbnailing actions of Totem (those 
can be disabled with gconf).
There is still problems on remote ftp sites with lots of items but some 
of them may have been fixed in 2.4.2.

There are big issues with .desktop files :
- they are not recognized, : they are displayed without their icon and 
correct name (displayed as a geglxxxx.desktop...; eekxxxx.desktop...) 
and I've got the nautilus "choose an action for that file, please..." 
dialog (and the first time, it appears several seconds after I ear the 
little gnome sound played to inform the user that a dialog should appear).
Desktop files are recognized if I change their name in the Information 
window or with the launcher editor dialog. But then, if I kill an 
restart nautilus, there are not recognized again. Nautilus sniffs them 
only if I remove the .desktop extension via a terminal. But then, I 
can't edit them anymore via the ->edit launcher entry of the desktop 
menu. The entry is there, but it doesn't do anything.

The other mime-action seems to work well.

Can't help more than this.
