I think removing embryo now is not a good idea, there are tons of stuff that use embryo (also for just a toggle button). For example half of the projects I have done use embryo (gadman, edje editor, CALCULATOR). IMO is better to leave developers some time to switch to the new engine. I also agree with the use of lua for all the above reason and becouse I liked it in scite scripting. And now that the plan seems "real" I need to ask the first feature request! Please when you reimplement scripting in edje let the ability to get/modify the source of the various scripts (edje now keep track only of the bytecode code for the scripts). This will solve the biggest issue in edje_editor :) Thanks Dave > > > -- > ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" > -------------- > The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's > challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the > world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > enlightenment-devel mailing list > enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
