Squeeze's ought to work, hopefully, or you could grab natty's 3.8 version and try to build that. With the fact that glade 3.8 is the last stable gtk2-supporting version of glade, and glade 3.10 is the first stable gtk3, we may want to move on gtk3 support sooner rather than later. Maxy, Jon: what do you think? You're supposed to be able to install them side by side: presumably that's what happening here for the upcoming stable releases: http://packages.debian.org/libgladeui wheezy: libgladeui-1-9 libgladeui-2-0 http://packages.ubuntu.com/libgladeui oneiric: libgladeui-1-11 libgladeui-2-0 Hopefully we could get a glade-loaded main UI into master and use that as a way of having to touch less code during our own gtk2 → gtk3 transition. But I think I'd like to do some testing first to see whether GtkBuilder XML files can be reused across GTK versions or migrated automatically, and whether the implied promise of those multiple versions actually holds within a glade 3.10 shell. The windows of opportunity align, hopefully :) I think glade can also be used for only one window or two, to ease the transition? Yep. At the moment I'm just wrapping up individual widgets to see what's needed (and because it's quite simple to do). I'm thinking we'd start by GtkBuilder-ifying the main UI, loading it up front, then moving the window module loader outside gui/layout.py but leaving each module to init itself at first. Later on the sub-modules can maybe use some interface to expose their gui XML to the central GtkBuilder instance and get their callbacks bound into their own namespace. BTW, splitting out the custom widgets and making them testable in a standalone faction seems to be the right pattern during gladeifying, and it's probably a good thing for the overall health of our code too :) -- Andrew Chadwick ___ Mypaint-discuss mailing list Mypaint-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss

Re: [Mypaint-discuss] Fwd: MyPaint and GtkBuilder/Glade
We need to release what we have now before we start on such. From a user POV , the current new shining GUI + the addition of a feature like layer blending ( if it's a low-hanging fruit ; I saw it on Jonnor branch, or more recently on Sygetch branch http://twitpic.com/6eepl1 ) could be a very good 1.0 release for Mypaint. If this kind of comment can help to break the wall of the 1.0... If what I say is ridiculous from a coder POV, just forgot what I said ... I'm back to my drawing anyway :D ___ Mypaint-discuss mailing list Mypaint-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
