[gnome-love] An idea about new icon in gnome



Think about the icon not like a link but like a script


A script whit this function :


move(from,where)


moveToTrash


Execute



Now, that is teh idea :


For this sample we think that we are working in a Debian based(ubuntu) system and the icon rapresent Inkscape (a free vector graphics program)


The user found this icon for sampe in a cd , and move the icon in the Desktop,

This action make esecute the script


move(CD,Desktop)


the script in this case say


$ sudo apt-get install inkscape


or


$ gtksudo apt-get install inkscape


an move the icon in the desktop



The user will se only that tha icon is in the deskop



Now the user click on it


The application start


easy ;)



Now , the user want to put away inkscape and move it to thrash


move(*Desktop,Trash)


*Desktop or other place in home


the script execute


$ gtksudo apt-get remove inkscape


and move the icon in the trash


the user only see that the icon is in the trash


In this idea , synaptic (a program for install software) will be a drag a drop windows whit alots of software


The next idea is to make the icon change when execute a program (have a really behaviour)and add

alots of function that we can execute by a men that we can have by click whit a right mouse


I know that this is not a really EUREKA but I think that can work really smooth.....or not ?
What do you think about?


Thanks
