Sorry about it...
gcmd is advertised as a very lightweight file manager, which doesn't
rely heavily on GNOME libs. In fact it could be even named even GTK
Commander ;o)
The rev #1200 changes that. There has been added direct dependency on
gnome keyring (aka gnome auth. manager/daemon) what makes gcmd unusable
in non-gnome environments. This is BAD.
I think Magnus' objections against that sound very reasonable here. On
the other hand I dislike very much storing passwords in a plain text
file.
So...
IMHO the right solution for that should be:
1. using the GNOME authentication manager for login/password
handling (this should be default option)
2. there should be an option (per connection) not to use auth
daemon - in this case password will be stored in text file in
the old way
3. all ftp connections will be imported as 'not auth'ed by gnome
keyring' - so nothing will disappear any more
What about it?
