Ted: Adding a comment about GNOME-VFS dependencies.

Adding a comment about GNOME-VFS dependencies.

New page

== Advanced File Access ==

The current method of interacting with files in Inkscape is limited. This feature proposal explores ways it can
be replaced with a more powerful, more capable system.

=== Requirements ===

As a minimum, the new system must fulfil the following needs:

Additionally, the following properties are highly desireable:
* WebDAV support
* FTP support

Further, the following capabilities have been mentioned as somewhat desireable:

Finally, there are some capabilities that are distinctly *not* needed:

=== Options ===

==== GNOME-VFS ====
Filesystem abstraction layer

Pros:
* High level interface to internet-based file access
* Asynchronous file ops
* File monitoring
* Operation cancellation
* Bulk file operations
* MIME typing
* Inet connections & operations
* Abiword uses it
* Has been ported to Win32

Cons:
* API documentation is spotty
* Many dependencies: libbonobo, libbz2, fam, libgcrypt, libpopt, libtasn, gconf, glib, gnutls, orbit2, libxml, zlib and gnome-mime-data. (but is included in every distro. that has GNOME and many dependencies only result in reduced functionality not the inability to build)

Questions:
* Is it available on OSX?

==== Neon - http://www.webdav.org/neon/ ====
HTTP and WebDAV client library.

Pros:
* Provides HTTP/WebDAV methods
* Support for OpenSSL, proxy, authentication
* WebDAV metadata properties
* Embeddable into a source tree

Cons:
* API is not yet stable and subject to major changes

Questions:
* Does it work on Win32?
* Does it work on OSX?

==== libgsf ====
Utility lib for reading/writing structured file formats.

Pros:
* Provides svgz, copy/paste, BonoboStream, and Win32 Istream support
* Support for OLE2 streams, zip input
* Used in gnumeric, mrproject, abiword, libwv2, koffice, and also part of the AAF format.
* Lite dependencies: glib, zlib, libxml2

Cons:
* May be more GNOME-dependent than we would wish
* Insufficient documentation

Questions:
