Hey, gtk-app-devel-list might be the better place for it but I'll try asking here first. Hope that's ok. One thing that stopped working in the Thunar file manager after I ported it to GIO instead of ThunarVFS is that the free space in the status bar and properties dialog is no longer updated properly. The reason for this is that prior to this, file change events were emitted by ThunarVFS whenever the free space on the device changed (at least that's what I assume because the progress dialog label was only updated on file change events). So, I wonder what the easiest way to monitor the free space on a device is (assuming that we have a GFile for a file or directory and the free space we're interested in is that of the volume/mount the file/directory is located on)? There is g_file_get_filesystem_info() but that information cannot be monitored. There are no file change events emitted from the GFileMonitor of files/dirs when the free space of their enclosing volume/mount changes. So, my next idea would be to listen to the "changed" signal of enclosing volumes/mounts? But is this the correct/best way and does it work at all? Any help and information is welcome, I really am a bit puzzled here. Cheers, Jannis
