All the functions are implemented, I need to stabilize it and optimize it in order to hopefully get it merged in gvfs.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <p>I have also worked a little bit on nautilus to support the new backend (almost nothing).</p> </div> <p>some screenshots:</p> </div> <p><a href="bf4c5b-show_google_documents.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="67c3c7-show_google_documents.png" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371405685229221906" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" data-border="0" /></a><br> <a href="ed69ee-Connecting_window.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="c358ce-Connecting_window.png" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371405681095447314" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" data-border="0" /></a></p> <div> <div style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>If you anyway want to give it a try (I think you should wait a few weeks more), you will need:</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://git.gnome.org/cgit/libgdata/tree/gdata/">Libgdata master branch</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://github.com/thiblahute/gvfs/tree/googledocuments">My Gvfs branch.</a></li> <li>The latest nautilus and optionality <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591178">my patch</a> for a better integration of the new GVFS backend.</li> </ul> </div> </div>
