Hello everyone, I strongly agree with the opinion that source-code generation should be removed from glade itself. OTOH I very strongly advice the glade developers to write a nice command-line utility to convert a glade file to it's equivalent source code in C/C++, before they drop this support.
Since the glade file is XML, I think the tranformation to source-code could also be better done using XSL, right? If someone wan't to write it as a script without using any XML libs. i'll advice him/her to use scheme/lisp instead of perl/python as lisp is AFAIK the best language to deal with XML. Another option would be to write such a utility in C, which shouldn't be that hard if we borrow the same code from Glade that is to be removed. :) BTW, i think this seperation of glade into two utilities would result in much greater freedom than now (quite contrary to the fear of some people on this list) since it open's up a new possiblity: you'll then be able to write your GUI in XML and getting it transformed into the source-code without using any GUI utility. :) -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
