Of course you are right. Maybe I have to clarify what I meant. In the
same way we specified GridFTP and are on our way to specify SRM as
EFS-extensions it should be possible to specifiy lfc and related
protocols as EFS-extensions. That would mean we are able to directly
"mount" lfc entries in our project tree. The drag'n'drop operation then
would start a transfer in the related service. I also thought about
offering a dedicated transfer view that keeps track of all ongoing
transfers. In that case we would need another extension in our model,
IGridFileTransfer and IGridFileTransferManager ... just as an idea :)
Cheers, Mathias
