It means
- the tree widget has not been ported yet. I'm coding and understanting as
much as possible the way that widget works. Hopefully, i coded some examples
to play with and they compile AND work :-D 

- the signals of the list view needs rewriting/coding. I found the signals
that emit when double-click on the list.

    - maybe we can use a similar GUI as gthumb. Inf fact, i believe that
browsing that way is kinda simple (visually) and doesn't sound like a
code-a-hell...

like i said, sounds like fun...
