Bug ID: 163947
Summary: Create a Cambalache catalog for custom widgets
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: difficultyMedium, skillUI
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

We have a Glade catalog for custom widgets:
extras/source/glade/libreoffice-catalog.xml.in
The catalog input file is manipulated by
extras/source/glade/makewidgetgroup.xslt and the final .xml ends up as
instdir/share/glade/libreoffice-catalog.xml
The makefile is extras/CustomTarget_glade.mk
Glade is not maintained anymore, so we should look into Cambalache as a future
tool for UI design.

Cambalache supports catalogs since version 0.92:

Example catalogs can be seen in:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/jpu/cambalache/-/tree/main/catalogs
Cambalache looks for the catalogs in ~/.cambalache/catalogs
I assume the catalog has to be created by hand and/or with the help of xslt.
Cambalache catalogs are normally expected to be produced automatically by a
cmb-catalog-gen program from .gir files generated by g-ir-scanner, but I don't
think that workflow applies in our case.
