Caja.ColumnProvider — Caja.ColumnProvider Reference

Synopsis

class Caja.ColumnProvider:
    def get_columns()

Description

If subclassed, Caja will request a list of Caja.Column objects, which are then displayed when the user is in List mode.

Note

An extension sub-classing Caja.ColumnProvider will almost always want to sub-class Caja.InfoProvider as well, since that is how an extension provides information for each item in a directory listing.

                               label="Block size",
                               description="Get the block size"),

    def update_file_info(self, file):
        if file.get_uri_scheme() != 'file':
