So freezing api is an hazard.
Well, it was expected. So far there was no applications using the lib, which is quite a "path to failure". Then we got Enlil, Ephoto, Eve, Enjoy and Envision to use it, then we realized some problems and are almost done fixing them (toolbar/menu). Also spotted room for improvements by providing default layouts to be used, they got in. Other than that, what do you see? This is one of the problems I see... people use Elementary but do not say what's good and what's not. They silently work around things. We're trying to avoid that and above I've mentioned our findings. But I've heard nothing from others! Samsung just complained about some missing widgets they'd like in. But these are additions, not breaks. > Im rewritig the fileselector and i will need to' break its api.

Changing the internals to make it look better, it's fine, but what public changes do you need? From Elementary.h.in we're just missing a way to get multiple files, but that's an addition we should do before the release. NOTE: if you're talking about exta apis to control fileselector behavior, then don't make it public. Although it's an add and thus not an actual break, these things should be controlled by the elementary profile only. If you're talking about making the fileselector its own dialog, I'd veto it as well, I like the current flexibility... you can make a middle ground between fileselector and fileselector button, isolating the inwin/popup dialog part in another widget. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
