Re: Help on g_spwan_async

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Trsitan,

  I had done that before -- but the directory had a lof of other directories
and I was concerned with the application *hanging* deleting all the dirs and
files. I then decided to change to async call ( should have used threads
instead, but the lazy instinct called upon me :P)  -- Anyway, I changed the
code to what I had before ( which is what you have now, excet it uses
g_open_dir )

  Thanks for the replay
