Hi all,
I'd like to launch an external editor within my app.
I use a like this:
1) Get the text from Textview and save it on a file
2) Launch with "os.system" the command "editor filename"
3) Read the file and put the text on the Textview.
This code works but I have some little problems:
- "os.system" is not fully multiplatform, it works on *nix and windows.
I'd like to use a fully multiplatform launcher.
- On *nix if I launch a graphic editor like gvim the os.system does not
wait the editor close. So even if I write something in the external
editor I loose it because the app. is already at point 3. I'd need
to block the execution until the editor is closed. I saw that Pan uses
a function named "g_spawn_async" for this job, but I can't figure were
it is defined. Is it a GTK function?
