when clicking an unknown file, like hello.doc (bad example), nautilus should look up file definitions to help guiding the user. the response could be "this is a microsoft word file. it can be opened with open office writer. "

if i have a cd in my drive, a bluetooth device or a camera connected, it is displayed on the desktop. this should be extended to more periferals. if i have a webcam or a printer connected, it should be displayed on my desktop. and i should be able to print by dropping a document on the printer. take a photo by clicking the webcam.

and if we want to take this further, if i drop the webcam icon on my printer, it should take a photo, and print it. possibly with a preview window appearing. same could be used with speakers, microphone, mouse/keyboard. but too much will just be a mess.

transmission bittorrent client keeps pc from sleeping when downloading. i have some trouble with how this is done.

now:
- no sleep, no hibernate, even if you ask for it. problem with this is that people close their laptops and throw them in their backpacks without waiting to see if they successfully go to sleep.



wanted:
- keep pc from sleep/hibernate (timed sleep) except when lid is closed (user action)
