Hi,
I'm working on improving the support for external libraries in Glade3. Currently you have a file called glade-palette.xml which contains the catalogs to load. This isn't very feasible when you want to add your own catalog file. The palette file also has another function, it describes the order in which the catalogs should be displayed in the UI.
For telling which catalogs exist I think it would be better try to load all xml-files available in $prefix/share/glade-$VERSION/catalogs. This way you will only have to install catalog file in that directory in order to have it available for Glade3. When it comes to the order it might just be OK to hard code it as:
Gtk+ Base Gtk+ Additional Gtk+ Standard Dialogs <All other files read> Gtk+ Obsolete
or something. This would make the glade-palette file obsolete.
Another thing that cought my eye is that we should probably not name the data directory glade-$VERSION as third party libraries won't be visible after an update from glade-3.0.1 to glade-3.0.2. Probably better to just call the directory 'glade-3'.
Any thoughts on this, as soon as we can reach a concensus on this I'll implement it.
Best Regards, Mikael Hallendal
