Hooray for a working bug/patch tracker! I've submitted a renewed and revised version of my proposed menu+command revamp. I've even used the patch tracker (second patch in there) per the previous discussion for non-bug tickets.
You can find my full explanation and the patches in patch #1188. This email is more about the future... My overall goal is to try to bring interface changes to Freeciv that would make it both easier to learn and easier to use, as well as some potentially "cool" things for interacting with the map and units. Lofty goals, but you all will be the ultimate judge of course. I'm going to try to take it in small steps... :-) As my immediate next step, I was hoping to move the GTK client to GtkUIManager (GtkItemFactory has been deprecated since 2.4, which happens to be the base version of GTK required by Freeciv). This wouldn't simply be an exercise in refactoring. There are some very tangible benefits to GtkUIManager: One of these is the ability to merge/unmerge menus, which would permit some interface cleanup that I think everyone would find interesting. Before proceeding, I wanted to test the waters and find out the interest level. Would a move to GtkUIManager have a possibility of being accepted, or are there reasons to keep GtkItemFactory? Hoping you'll find my patches interesting... - John _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
