Space for Gloobus Preview

[Danielle Foré]

A missed feature from NE is pressing the space bar for Gloobus Preview :)

I don't want a hard coded binary path to gloobus in marlin code, because not everybody use it and there's many lightweitght applications arround.

We got 2 options:

- a g_setting_entry with the binary path to bind the space key. If the entry is empty, it would do the default action idem est gnome-open / exo-open %s. The gloobus-preview package could write the key in the post-install script for example.
Any other application could use the binding.
- registering the accelerator via an extension. An extension system could be developed or not, (i really don't know for the moment).

I think maybe the setting key would be better since it would ensure two extensions aren't fighting over the same keybinding, the latter would simply overwrite the former.

On the otherhand, overriding eachothers prefs causes user to be unable to pick behaviour. Are there many other applications like gloobus out there? Becouse if there isn't whats against hardcoding?

We could also implement something 'like' gloobus preview in the Context pane. We need some more uses for the context pane anyway.

I don't really agree with the phrase "we need some more uses for the context pane". Remember do one thing and do it well? :p At this moment, the only functionality I would add to the context pane is a thumbnail. Any more would be overkill. Is Marlin a file browser or a file viewer?

bump just added previewer support
for the moment u can set the previewer path via dconf-editor: apps/marlin/preferences/previewer-path

I'm using Marlin 0.1 installed via http://ppa.launchpad.net/marlin-devs/marlin-daily/ubuntu (official source, I read somewhere) and there is absolutely no listing for apps/marlin/preferences/ in gconf.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

Dconf, not Gconf.
