Was wondering what cool compnent I could add, decided to go all out and apease my ravenous "shortcut dock massive icon " fetish by making desktop icons.

Works excellent, better than xDesktop or any of the actual modules, IMHO ofcourse ;)

and If I do it right we will be able to have infinite icons :]

The future has arrived.

Indeed! Today is tomorrow's yesterday. But infinite icons? Where will we put them all?

Well, wherever you drop them... ;)

The thing is, to write a "really" good desktop icon component, I would need to incorporate "the" user desktop in some way... that means using some weird dir scanning module (I think one exists that scans a folder and outputs what files are there...), some weird file control module (delete, copy, move etc) and doing it all with funky lua/xlabel stuff.

Also, I want to be able to have drop options (like drop = move, ctrl+drop = copy and alt+drop = shortcut, which one of the above modules would need to support...), that requires new additions to xlabel (DnD MODIFIER)... meh, I'll make a thread for it on ls-u.

Sounds like alot of work eh?
