Re: Gtk+4.x and broadway ( and other remote options )

[Alexander Larsson]

Sorry, there is no real change, I still have no time to work on broadway
"for real". I just spent a couple of days converting the broadway backend
to match the changes that are happening in gtk4 "for fun". Unfortunatelly
it just ended up with me and a huge todo-list and no more time to work on
it...

Maybe someone else is interested in consulting work on it though?

Hi Alexander. I appreciate you clarifying this for us. It was a nice
surprise to read on Phoronix recently that you're still committing fixes &
improvements to the broadway codebase. I'd like to understand - has
anything changed in the past year that's brought you back to broadway? I
know there are still a handful of users around who would love to see this
continue ( some of them email me directly, and I have to answer: "sorry -
I'm just a user as well" ). If throwing money at the problem works, we
might be able to arrange that, maybe via a crowdfunding page, or something
less formal. Would it be worth it to you or Redhat?

Re: How to select multiple files

[makepost]

Hello. Please send a more complete example where you use the file chooser. If 
you tried running on other platforms, does it work there as expected?

How to select multiple files

[effemmeffe]

Hello, I'm using GTK3 with C on Windows.
I can compile my code with with code::blocks.
I'm trying to use a filechooser to select a bunch of files and found
gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple, but it seems it doesn't work.
The file chooser window shows up and I can navigate my filesystem to
the desired folder, but once there I can only select one file to open.
I'd like to select a number of files and get the filenames of those files.

Any help please?
TIA
