[Nautilus-list] File Properties

[Adam Zolkover <wadam OCF Berkeley EDU>]

I am not a programmer, so I don't know how much I can do about this, but
I had a suggestion for a better way to handle file properties.  First of
all, there should be a permissions tab in the properties window that
allows the user to change file permissions like they could in GMC.
Additionally, though, what if there was an option for a "Properties"
sidebar panel.  The panel would have all of the functionality of the
properties window (including file permissions), and it would allow the
manipulation of properties for whatever file was highlighted at the
time.  If no file was highlighted, then it would show the properties of
the current directory.  I don't know.  Just a thought.  I was using
nautilus today and it occured to me just how much more convenient
manipulating file properties would be if there were a panel, so I
thought that I'd pass it along.

Thanks.

Adam.
