Planned something of that nature, in parallel with converter utility thing. i.e. have converter do the simplest conversion possible to a GtkGrid rather than guess/assign some layout. > > [*] maybe the cast-happy syntax looks a bit vile. > > In my experience it is remarkably common for > even programmers to tweak the XML and rename / loose widgets in such a > way that the code crashes later ;-) Yeah, maybe's kendy's suggestion might be the way to go, make it a build time problem. > Anyhow - I'm rather excited about this - it looks insanely cool :-) are > there any notable blockers stopping us getting it into master ? a) I'm working on a windows install to make sure it doesn't fall over and die under windows immediately b) print dialog looks "busted", so some change has screwed that over. c) I need to stick my notes on the wiki So, here's a nagging concern of my own, not big enough to bother me greatly, but I haven't measured the size of increase due to the xml .ui files vs the size of reduction of the binary resource format. I presume that the .ui format is bigger, though its possible that the trivially-simple xml format I'm using for just the translations that maps to the single always-there en-US .ui file vs the full resource copy of the binary scheme offsets that a bit.
