Hi, unfortunately, I noticed that Glade 3.12.1 broke my old glade-files *again*, since it forbids that widgets have the same name in a single glade-file; this was possible in Glade 2, broke in Glade 3.4 (or earlier), was possible again in a later Glade-version, and broke again in Glade 3.12 (or earlier). Additionally, Glade silently renames non-unique-widget-names, so that a simple load-and-save *breaks* applications.
I filled a bug-report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727507 Can anybody tell me, why Glade constantly breaks this? Even if it might sound strange, having widgets with the same names -- as long as they are in different toplevels -- is *very* useful, since it allows to have several toplevel-windows in the same gladefile, with each toplevel-window e.g. having a "close_button", a "number_entry" etc. The only current workaround I know, is to use a separate glade-file for *every* toplevel-window, resulting in an unhandy, large number of gladefiles. :(( Roland On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 06:34:32PM +0200, Timo wrote: > It is possible.
