Re: Adding gtkparasite to gtk?

Few weeks ago I sat down with Rui and fixed some of the reference counting bugs in gtkparasite: https://www.gitorious.org/gtkparasite There are still some more remaining, especially one where the entries for destroyed widgets are not removed from gtkparasite's treeview. Happy hacking, Debarshi

Re: Adding gtkparasite to gtk?

On a similar hand: is there a Gtk(3)Parasite yet?? Bastien Nocera ported it to GTK+ 3 last September. Check the commit logs. Happy hacking, Debarshi -- Give a man ssh access, he'll still need a computer. Give him a computer, he'll give ssh access to you. -- Ashish Shukla pgp5dkthvoVLu.pgp

Re: GnomeDesktopThumbnail API replacement

Hey, As a heavy user of the thumbnailing APIs, I had promised Bastien to comment on this thread, but I wanted to coherently compile my thoughts before doing that. Some releases ago, I switched GNOME Photos to a custom thumbnailing infrastructure. I have tried to summarise it here:

Re: Showing GtkButton in table view

Is there a way to show a standard GtkButton in a table view. I can find examples for toggle buttons but  I want a standard button in each row. Try writting your own GtkCellRenderer. Cheers, Debarshi -- One reason that life is complex is that it has a real part and an imaginary part. --

Re: threading choices

 If your programming language uses exceptions, remember that leave() call should be inside try..finally cleanup, else this will cause deadlocks if an exception is thrown in-between. If you take C++ as an instance of a programming language with exceptions, then Glibmm offers Glib::Dispatcher

Hover decorations in GtkIconView

I have a custom GtkCellRendererPixbuf which I am using to render some thumbnails in a GtkIconView. Now when the mouse passes over a rendered thumbnail I want to slightly highlight/decorate it. As far as I can understand from the documentation my render_vfunc should get GTK_CELL_RENDERER_PRELIT in

Re: Hover decorations in GtkIconView

I don't think items in icon view can be in prelit state. They are either selected or not. You'll probably need to create custom icon view widget to get on-hover effect. Can this be accomplished with a custom GtkIconView or do I need to write it from scratch? Thanks, Debarshi -- One reason
