Re: gtk3: FileChooser schema not found
Requiring the schema for settings is the fundamental tenet of the GSettings design. By not having the schema like in GConf you are trading a bit of convenience for less safety; a lot of bugs in GConf-using applications were due to missing schemas or wrong fallbacks for unset keys, so when I say "convenience" I mean for casual use and not for real applications. A schema in GSettings is the equivalent of the UI file for GtkBuilder; in both cases an application cannot be expected to run correctly if missing. If you wanted unspecified storage for state, I suggest storing a file under XDG_CONFIG_HOME; you can use GKeyFile or JSON-GLib for the serialization format. Ciao, Emmanuele.

To me that is probably the biggest disadvantage with using GSettings is that the application will crash if settings can't be found. I would like to see this behavior changed to be more like gconf where missing keys are allowed to be missing.

Yes James, just add the call to gtk_widget_add_events into the yourwidget_init function.

enlarge the scrollable area
Hi, I'm trying to build a scrolled window in a such a way that the child widget has always the same size, regardless of the size of the scrolled window itself. I tried gtk_scrolled_window_set_min_content_width, but this also sets the minimum size of the scrolled window. Basically, I need something to force the size of the child widget (for example a TextView), or to enlarge the scrollable area without enlarging the scrolled window. Is it possible to have this behavior? thank you! ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Sounds like you should be able to get away with just gtk_widget_set_size_request() on the child textview, that should ensure the child text view always receives at least the size you set for it's minimum request without restricting the size of the parent scrolled window. Note: In GTK+ 2.x setting the size request of the child widget was acting like gtk_scrolled_window_set_min_content_width/height() as a sort of implied hidden feature, in GTK+ 3.x you can choose to force the size of the scrolled window by using the new api or just force the size of the child by using gtk_widget_set_size_request().

If a UI file is missing, I agree, it's all over. No point in showing a blank window. But a file selector can surely have reasonable default behavior; it did in gtk2.

Cheers, -Tristan Thanks for your answer, but I can't obtain what I need. Is the following code what you meant? window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); scrolled_window = gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL); textview = gtk_text_view_new (); gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 400, 300); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), scrolled_window); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolled_window), textview); gtk_widget_set_size_request (textview, 600, -1); I had the the following results: gtk2: the window has a minimum width of 600 pixel gtk3: the window is 400x300, and so is the textview! I just want a 400x300 window with a 600x300 textview (or any other widget, this is just an example) inside the scrollable. cheers Stefano ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
interested in gtk+ project development
Hey All, My names Patrick Noble, and was hoping for a few pointers... I am interested in learning about and helping out in a development project such as Glade or GTK+, and was wondering if my experience level makes this pointless. I am currently learning through C, and am fairly confident in its main structure and common built in functions. I also have experience working with the gooey GUI builder of glade, although I have almost no knowledge of GTK+ programming. Any advice as far as skills I should look into or places I could help out? thanks PNoble ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

I am interested > in learning about and helping out in a development project The best thing to do is get involved in a project that _uses_ GTK. Pick something on the GNOME desktop that you like and have a good poke around inside it to see how it does business. Evince, the PDF viewer, has a good reputation. I'm sure others can suggest different apps worthy of study. Concurrently, start working on something *small* that uses GTK so you get a good feel, over time, for what it's like to use the library and its API. After a while you'll start to get a sense of things. Finally, you can certainly subscribe to the other GTK lists (and if you're really brave, to the gtk+ bugzilla traffic) and start seeing how development happens. The biggest thing, though, is that you don't have to learn it all by yourself. Studying (and, more to the point, working on) existing code bases (such as the Evince example earlier) will help you learn about how to pull larger applications together. No one teaches that part in school.

We are always short of hackers for Glade, I wont be around for the following couple of days but if you want to contribute to Glade I will be pleased and happy to coach you and help you to learn about GTK+/GObject and the Glade code base. The best thing would be for you to hang out on the #glade3 irc channel, and it wouldn't hurt to lurk around on #gtk+ too at least to observe and learn. Thanks for taking an interest, if you're interested in hacking on Glade please do come and hang out on irc for starters (and... try building Glade git master with GTK+ 3.0).
