| pascal@14377 | 1 A service that allows applications to request some extended actions for a list |
| pascal@14377 | 2 of files depending on their mimetypes and some other constraints. Any user can |
| pascal@14377 | 3 extend their applications by adding custom actions. |
| pascal@14377 | 4 |
| pascal@14377 | 5 Similar to thunar-actions but distributed via dbus, any application can take |
| pascal@14377 | 6 advantage of this service. extended-actions use traditional desktop files and |
| pascal@14377 | 7 extend its format to configure special action(s) on files. Unity already |
| pascal@14377 | 8 extended the desktop file application format with its quicklist. |
| pascal@14377 | 9 |
| pascal@14377 | 10 Maybe one day this same application format will be extended at the glib level |
| pascal@14377 | 11 within GAppInfo or in a new class or maybe a super daemon would arise providing |
| pascal@14377 | 12 all the informations about applications and their new uses case. And this |
| pascal@14377 | 13 service would be obsolete. |
| pascal@14377 | 14 |
| pascal@14377 | 15 This project is the continuation of the work i already started in contractor. |
| pascal@14377 | 16 |
| pascal@14377 | 17 extended-actions already provide a list of actions in |
| pascal@14377 | 18 /usr/share/extended-actions. |
| pascal@14377 | 19 Any user can define some custom actions in ~/.local/share/extended-actions |
| pascal@14377 | 20 |
| pascal@14377 | 21 And if u have some good actions files don't hesitate to contact me i may include |
| pascal@14377 | 22 them by default. |
