Well I tried, but hildon-fm is really strongly modelled on the old gtkfilesystem/gtkfilechooser API/ABI. There are some things which are problematic: - this API/ABI was and is still internal only, so it might break again in subsequent Gtk+ releases - maemo might keep Gtk+ 2.12 forever, since Qt is in the works - the API/ABI was heavily rewritten due to filechooser work and the move to GIO The API/ABI doesn't map one to one, and it would require at least one or two weeks of solid development and testing to move to the new models. The resulting code in hildon-fm would probably be a mess to maintain too if it uses conditionals heavily -- and that would be for Gtk+ 2.13 support which isn't in their current platform... :-/ -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ Modest-devel mailing list Modest-devel@garage.maemo.org https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/modest-devel
