gentoo: Frequently Asked Questions
0. INTRODUCTION
This file contains some frequently asked questions, and their
answers, about the X11/GTK+ file manager "gentoo". None of
these questions are actual, verbatim, questions asked by users.
They've all been constructed by me, around questions and wishes
sent to me by gentoo's users.
This file, along with the rest of the documentation for gentoo,
is highly neglected. Sorry.
Q1. Does gentoo support drag-and-drop ("DnD") ?
A1: No, it currently does not. This is definitely the #1 most
asked for feature. However, there are some issues with it
that makes me hesitate in implementing it:
1. Should DnD be between gentoo and other applications
(e.g. xmms), and/or in gentoo internally? What should
gentoo do if you drag a file from a desktop's file
manager and drop it in one of gentoo's panes?
Supporting DnD internally would require a pretty
pretty hefty amount of internal rewriting. :(
2. Getting the GtkCList widget (which is what the panes
in gentoo are implemented with) to support DnD without
losing the possibility to drag to select multiple items
seems difficult. I am not willing to sacrifice the
multi-selection.
Q2: How can I make the font used in file listings bigger?
A2: By creating and editing the .gentoogtkrc file. See the
README.gtkrc for further instructions.
Q3. Any further questions?
A3: No, it doesn't seem so.
