Thought about that... :^) > Furthermore, it'd be even cooler if the Tux Paint > could be queried to get the *complete* list of options and its logical > grouping so the config program doesn't need to have *any* hard coded > information about Tux Paint's options, so it doesn't need to be updated > whenever Tux Paint program gets updated with new options. That's a little trickier. :^) It would be cool, and maybe we can refurbish tuxpaint-config down the road to support some XML or Lisp-like dump that can be 'sucked-in' by the config tool. And perhaps make it more generic so that other apps can use it. It'd be a generic "rc-file GUI". But, for now, it's simple enough to hand-code. It's not like I'm adding many options in each version. :^) And, hopefully even >I< will be able to commit new language options to tuxpaint-config when I go and add them to tuxpaint itself... :) -bill! _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
