just about everything.. it's manual advertises "skin everything as you wish", but in reality only the content pane can be skinned. c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/525231 it's tree component has pre-90's user-interaction rules. compared to the user interface features of win7's tree, it's very annoying to work with. explaining the details would take too much of my time atm. several other of it's user-interface design are just outdated, inefficient for the end-user. > >> so i'd like to know what a good ubuntu dev environment looks like. > > I think some will answer 'vim' or 'emacs', others will point to Eclipse > or $EDITOR + glade, or other GUI apps. Ok, but the editor choice is less important to me atm than build-environment and component stack. I have no idea whether to go with gnome or kde or something else. Rather than reading a dozen reviews, i'd like to know from this community here which has the better (visual) component stack for what i want to do. I also need to know how to plug into the various window-dressing APIs that ubuntu sports.. >> min req: a tree class that's as much as win7's win-explorer tree as >> possible, and which can easily be extended. > > I have no idea what "win7's win-explorer tree" looks like or is able to > do... http://torrentz.com and c for yourself :) it's very hip, imo. >> i gotta be able to put a background on that tree-class, via extension >> if need be. > > That's possible in nautilus (and thus whatever widgets it uses) already? I've filed a bug for it never working on my ubuntu system.. it got accepted, low prio. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/525231 > >> i have some years of OOP exp in delphi (visual pascal on windows) and >> l.a.m.p., > > The best solution for using object pascal on linux is FreePascal, but > the Lazaras IDE (which is intended to become an alternative to Delphi) > seems to be developing quite slowly because of a lack of contributors... ok, i'm taking a look at that lazarus ide soonish then.. >> aswell as a strong inclination towards easy-to-read code. > > That sounds a lot like Python though... :-) It's possible even in C++, just a lot harder :) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
