This shouldn't block the progress, should it?

Testing ist important, but not an issue which potentially slows down the
progress. I bet there are many people out there who have experience,
knowledge and equipment to test.
Anyway from my experience there are scenarios in which testing is a
convenience, but does not provide any real gain. You certainly know
about testing suites and mock-objects. I just wonder what's the problem
about the send-file option. It currently works (I refer go
gnome-obex-send). I'm currently using the command-line and binding it to
nautilus' context is a less-than-5-cents-effort. Sorry.
So if you need assistance or help simply write a request, so others know
what your need it. You cannot expect, that help or equipment suddenly
appears from nothing...

Ok, I ask you for the third or fourth time and I'm getting really sick
about this. WHAT does obex have to do with the nautilus integration? The
current gnome-send-option WORKS. Have you ever heard about component
based integration and reuse of tested components? Did you change
gnome-obex-send? What's the matter here?
