You've posted two screenshot mockups of your ideas, but they don't
explain how and where I set up the FTP address after clicking "FTP
Server" or where I define my Flickr account.
And what if I have more than one FTP server? "Quick uploads" also
doesn't mean much to me as a context menu item. Maybe "Upload file(s) to
a server".
Uhm... I will try to explain what's on my mind a little bit more.
Take for example an FTP upload.
The steps I want to reproduce are :
1) select the file(s) you want to upload
2) select "quick uploads" (or better "Upload file(s) to a server...") and choose the service
3) insert informations (address, directory where to save and eventually the new name of the file on the server) or get it from a previous saved bookmark
4) click ok, and you are done.
I was leaning towards having a very obvious bottom-bar with different actions such as "Email to," "Print," "Upload to Flickr," etc. I think that if you put an item in the right click menu then most people will never discover it.
That's exactly true, in fact I was thinking of create a new toolbar item or something similar.
A few notes about implementing this in Nautilus:
1. If I understand your idea correctly, Conduit isn't really what you need. (Do you want to synchronize data or just to send it with one click?)
Yes man, you got the point. I want to make a really simple "one click" send data.
2. You should be able to reuse a lot of the code in Nautilus sendto. It already supports some of the things that you want to do.
I have looked at the nautilus source code some times ago. I think I can grab something from there.
3. Iirc, Dave Richards implemented an extremely basic Nautilus extension/script that handles some basic actions. It probably isn't at all what you need, but you might get some ideas from the GUI design that he uses.
