Right now, all these .edj files are used to > define a very large and disparate number of things not sure we need this - why? the type is based on what edje groups u have. an edje can contain both an e theme, an ewl theme, an etk theme, an e background etc. etc. - it can contain all of them in 1 file. an edje doesn't have a single type - it may or may not provide data FOR a type of use. it may provide it for multiple uses. > How does one know if it's an e17 bg, some clock thing, an etk > or ewl theme, an icon, some menu or dialog theme, or who knows what > others may use them to define. This kind of thing can become a problem > over time. as above. you need to open the edje and look for the data you want. if you are after etk theme elements - you look for them in the file. it may or may not provide them. > Maybe time for some way of specifying WHAT these edj files > are supposed to be - perhaps something akin to what's done with mime- > types... maybe some 'type', 'category', 'description' sorts of data > in the edj/edc file (maybe with versions as well)? Anyone have any > suggestions on this? again - as above. the files dont have ONE type. they provide data for many things. an e theme provides a bg, all sorts of theme elements and module data and icons and more. you can find out if it is a type by just looking for an entry of a particular name that you may desire/want/need. this is entirely freeform text and can/will expand dramatically as more apps do more things and want/need data from an edje file. remember an e theme does not have to be complete - it can provide just 1 small thing - and e will fall back to the default otherwise. for example. so this is not a simple matter of a file having a type - it has a vast number of possible types - and frankly that is determined by the edje group keys, and those are freeform. > jose. > > _____________________________________________________________ > Save hundreds on an Unsecured Loan - Click here. > http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2121/fc/Ioyw6i3m3iUASETfimAwEe8X9bUmPtTpfLDeW14o6KQy9FK3cdqdWw/ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
