Did you see what just happened with Nautilus? In case you didn't, here's what happened: Yes, Nautilus now is able to display Other Locations view, and finally it caught up with Gtk+ file chooser! It's already on master, so anyone can test it with jhbuild. Also, Nautilus 3.17.90 already includes it, so Fedora Rawhide users … Continue reading Other Locations on Nautilus (GSoC final report)
Some thoughts on Nautilus During the last weeks, the code on Gtk+ side is more or less settled, so I started working on Nautilus. The current situation is desperating.

Technology enabled us to make videos, so let's … Continue reading Network management workflow (or, GSoC report #4)

Nautilus still uses some deprecated API from GIO - mainly GIOScheduler family. I'll have to figure out … Continue reading GSoc: Report #2
This is the first report about my Google Summer of Code project. Since I'm already a GNOME member, many administrative steps weren't needed. So, what happened during the community bonding period? The mockups got mature enought for me to start implementing them, thanks to the amazing work of Allan Day. It was discussed how things … Continue reading Summer of Code – Prologue
