This sounds like a rather nasty workaround and not particularly appropriate for a simple tutorial example. As far as I know, GtkRecentAction is scheduled to be added for 2.12, so I'm not planning to include an example of Recent files with UIManager right now. We'll add it in the next cycle. Is that OK? I have committed a preliminary chapter to the tutorial for recent files, but I think the example needs quite a bit of work (for one thing, It doesn't even seem to show the recent files dialog when you click the menu item). I'm thinking about overhauling that example to simply use a Gtk::RecentChooserWidget packed into a window (maybe as a sidebar). Right now there seems to be too much menu / toolbar code that distracts from the goal of the example: using the recent items stuff. Is it OK if I make some changes to this example? -- jonner _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
