Hello, I write because I want to say thanks to both, Riccardo and Bertrand, for the work you are doing with GWorkspace to support the RikIcons project for the RikTheme. This work is improving the overall experience with GWorkspace and GNUstep in general and it also indirectly fixed some bugs in some of the rik drawing stuff, like the NSTabView drawing that now is finally fixed and works very fine. Thanks again.
Also, I asked for copyright assignment with suggestion by Ivan. I will go to learn more than I know right now, with Ivan in the free time, gui an back and I’ll try to work sending patches to be reviewed and to improve them and GNUstep in general, helping the community. The goal is to improve my skills with -gui and complete the work for GNUstep bindings started with Fred when he was here, when I wrote a little use case app to see and work on the actual GNUstep bindings situation, and helped Fred testing the new code; after that the GNUstep bindings is almost working at all. However is still soon to talk (for me) of that work. I hope this is the right place to ask question if I need to know and learn internal framework bits. > Il giorno 11 mar 2016, alle ore 16:04, Riccardo Mottola > <riccardo.mott...@libero.it> ha scritto: > > Hi, > > let me sum up what I did, because this input spawned a lot of work! > > Bertrand Dekoninck wrote: >> But the NSMoviesDirectory is lacking. >> >> Should I try to add it to base or to NSWorkspace.m as NSMusicDirectory is >> already ? > > I added support for NSMoviesDirectory.
