You are right, that isn't any better. I should just give up on these patches, I clearly don't have the support for them I hoped for. Obviously, in my opinion we increase the quality of our codebase by using Vala for this helper class mostly because the number of readable and documented version controlled lines of code is less than if we would also version control the GObject C boiler plate. That is not the only measurement of code quality however and we are simply weighting the pros and cons differently. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "GIMP 2.8 schedule on tasktaste.com" _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
