From bug 168561 [1]: "When I open "Computer" in the File Browser, the Information sidebar shows "x-directory/normal, 11 items". This is very silly considering that my computer is not a directory." The proposed patches introduce a concept of "abstract" files which don't map to actual inodes, i.e. "computer:///", "network:///", "x-nautilus-desktop:///" etc.. All of them should not expose their file type to the user, since the information is generally crap. I've just noticed that I didn't add "fonts:///" and "burn:///", but this would be trivial to add. Maybe you remember any other URIs that are abstract? For now I'm just interested in architectural feedback :). Note that we can later adapt [2] to this API where appropriate, although this is not yet a priority.
