Dear Randall, I'm answering these questions from my limited knowledge of designer, I guess the only person able to give better answers is Jason Cater, the initial author of gnue-designer.

AFAICT, there never was a documented API between GNUe Forms and GNUe Designer. GNUe Designer accesses internal data structures of GNUe Forms, and I'm not sure this is easy to change. Having said that, I think the biggest change in GNUe Forms which requires a change in Designer is the change from a character based absolute positioning paradigm to a layout management paradigm. So in older versions, in a form you would have defined an entry to be positioned at x=3, y=5. Now, you define e.g. a vertical box with several entries, and GNUe Forms automatically positions these entries vertically below each other. > Has anyone assessed whether the level of effort is expected to be > hours, days, weeks, or/vs months of work? I have no idea about this. Thanks, Reinhard
