And the dialog is about E17. in that you are actually really wrong. e17 ie s. EFL is eina, eet, evas, edje etc. as such e has no clue WHO the authors of all the dependant libs are. there is no info on the system for that so we cant do such a dialog without hand-maintaining it and all its authors separately from the libs. should we put an about for libpng too and all its authors? and xorg and xlib? and libjpeg? and all the other libs e depends on? the list of people in the e17 about dialog are the people in the authors. it is installed and loaded/parsed and displayed. as such we have more important things to worry about that create ways to go find author lists of every library that may be used (even if they installed the files - we need to query every library where that file is installed at runtime - and no you cant compile it in). > Just my 2 cents... > > Marc > > P.S: Come on guys ... he does a great job! > > > > > -- > > Tom. > > -- > Marc Koschewski > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in > Real-Time with Splunk.
