Hi. I don't think one would need a gtk assistant it's "just" a matter of replacing welcom screen with
<panel> <text>You can compare...</text> <image> <text>Paste text...</text> <checkbox> don't show again <button>got it </panel> there are only 2 interactive widgets: the "got it" button (that does nothing but go to the main) the checkbox that stores a property it's far easier that current welcome screen and its 14 interactive widgets <panel> <button>File Comparison</button> <button>Directory comparison</button> <button>File Comparison</button> <hidden panel> <file selector> <file selector> <file selector> <checkbox>3 ways </hidden panel> <hidden panel> <dir selector> <dir selector> <dir selector> <checkbox>3 ways </hidden panel> <hidden panel> version control </hidden panel> <button>Blank comparison</button> <button>Compare</button> <panel> Ok I cheat a bit, my mockup misses the 3ways comparison button (that I'd move to main screen) But that is still 3 vs 14 :) Le mer. 15 avr. 2020 à 04:15, Kai <kai.willad...@gmail.com> a écrit : > On Sat, 4 Apr 2020 at 22:26, Vincent P <vincent.p.trashm...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> (I tried to put attachments to this message at first, but obviously this >>> list doesn't support them.) >>> >> >> > My bad, sorry.
