But generally, I think Boost is not the best tool for this task. For example, the KDE IO library allows you to request an io operator (like copy), and recieve progress indicator, and you can cancel the operation.

Does GNOME have this, too? The FM is written with gtkmm.

Not to mention that it works with URLs, not just local files. Of course, KDE already has a file manager, but I assume you have your reasons for writing one.

I sure do. I have tried many (Konqueror, Krusader, gcommander, Xfe, XFFM, mc, rox-filer, ...), and I don't like any of em. So I thought I'd better write my own. -- Matthias Kaeppler
