Bug #314280: .hidden files in libgnomeui file-chooser

[Julian Reich <jreich epplehaus de>]

Hi,

I'd like to fix bug #314280. Unfortunately I've little knowledge of the 
Gnome source code / architecture.
I'm not 100% sure whether this list is appropriate; I hope there is 
anyone able to help me anyway.

I thought it would be most appropriate to implement a function that 
takes GtkFilesystemGnomeVFS and the URI of the file or folder to be 
read. This function could lookup the .hidden file in the (containing) 
folder. Reading the .hidden file is no problem. My problem is that I'd 
like to "save" the information which files are hidden in the 
GtkFileFolderGnomeVFS structure so that all files in a specific folder 
are looked up at once (like in GtkFileFolderUnix). GtkFileFolderGnomeVFS 
has no HashTable similar to stat_info in GtkFileFolderUnix, in addition 
the VFS file folder is not looked up in info_from_vfs_info() therefore 
it would be necessary to add this lookup.
Is there a more appropriate solution to this problem?


Best regards,
Julian Reich
