If you're wondering why not just use a FileView or an IconView then ...
My objectives with this alternative FileView/IconView class are thus...

Support the 3 view modes most filemanagers have, Ie. icons / list / details
(still working on details)
Support Drag and drop both ways inside and outside of application (done, i
think)
Support custom menus for individual icons for things like "Open With" (not
worked on that yet but i think as icons are UserControl objects it should
already be possible)
Support .desktop files, display as Launchers and support their Exec
commands and icons (need to work on supporting flags like %u %U)
also support Desktop Actions (right click options for .desktop launchers)
by adding a DesktopFile object the the icons

Just in case anyone is interested :)

Not far off being a full blown gambas desktop application.
I may combine this with my Desktop-ish program (that supports icon
positioning) and refine things a bit for a fully gambas desktop experience
:)
going to work on making it more customizable (like a manager for additional
menu actions depending on filetype/ext)

Wishing well
