Comment 21 for bug 306630

It does not have to be complicated actually. I think a workable rule is to queue local files and parallel queue any network file systems. The decision should really come from the gvfs-backends daemon on case by case basis.

Well actually, I have no idea how hard that is to implement, so maybe it is indeed hard.

GIO/Gvfs/Glib library (take your pick) could provide the interface to queue files that the gvfs-backends daemon instantiates and configures. Alexander Larsson might know the best design, as he seems to have written most of the gvfs anyways.
