I cant get items with Emblem New or Draft to show up in a specific
search on emblems.  If I search for items not with NEW emblem I get
results, if I search for not Draft emblem I get no results.  I get
results for a search on the Important emblem.  All files have should
have been indexed.

Yep, thats what I was after, how about making the where column int the
search results a link to this feature?  Thats what I was expecting and
whhy I thought it was not there...

Well, it looks like I can only tick or untick built in viewers, I cant
select gqview as me image viewer, I cna make it an application I
guess...

Also, I really like the windows "send to " menu, I would put a simple
text viewer in ther and send files to this rather than the windows set
editor for a particular file (ie html, send to notepad rather than
frontpage...) with out making a default action for the file type...

Excelent...  I have really started to use Nautalis a bit of the last
week, still I need to drop into the shell a lot, mostly for cp amd mv
opperations...

One thing that bugs me and I have not mentioned is excutable scripts...

I clicked on a python script I wrote, it's executable, and set to call
python like one woulkd expect, Nautalis opened it in it's inbuilt text
viewer...  Would realy confuse Joe Enduser I imagine...  Once again I
could set up the default action but I think one like this should be the
default as shipped.

If the emblem thing gets sorted this then I imagine Nautilus will become
really usefull, 

Thanks.
