Just to be sure that every one understand this correctly. New Edje file format is almost futur proof. It include minor and major version number. It was planned from the beginning to include translation and there is no reason it will break. And edje file format have version number since a long time, we just removed old loader code, because it would have increased complexity and make it impossible to do an alpha release. We just provided edje_convert that can make an old edje file loadable by old and new loader at the same time. > The previous change of format screwed everything up royally, from me > personally restarting > Enlightenment and having it misbehave, to the new EditJE tool not being able > to edit old EDJ > format, to themes that are written for a device here not working on new EFL. Call edje_convert on it, and it will run fine on all version of Edje. -- Cedric BAIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
