So next steps will be to see if writing to global.db can be skipped (this will result in more code changes).

The alternative proposal of Iņigo to write a complete new file manager is also a promising solution.
Yesterday night I was playing wth my old lua implementation of a file browser for the Iliad.
I didn't remember it... but it looks quite good, so I will port to vala and add some new features. But this will be in next weeks, first I have to finish the new DR800+, which I hope to release in a few days.
