minor feature patch for gtkfilesel.c
(from the README, at http://incandescent.mp3revolution.net/gtk+/)
filesel_memory.diff - Minor patch to gtk+-1.2.9, that allows it's
GtkFileSelection widget to remember which directory it came
from, when moving up parent directories, and position the
dir_list somewhere close to that child directory.
In other words; if you have 300 subdirectories, and go into
one of them, and then leave it (by double-clicking ".."),
instead of being dropped at the first directory in the
entire list, you're put someplace close to the directory
you just came from. This is nice for things like xmms,
when you've got directories like "Artist-Album", and want
to click through a couple directories of the same artist.
I liken this to how (decent) browsers treat web pages. You
click on a link, then go back, and the browser returns you
to the link, not to the top of the page. I don't know
how most browsers behave when using file:// urls on your
hard drive, but I do know mozilla (m18) returns you to
the top of a directory listing (blech, broken imo), and
both links and lynx return you to somewhere close to
where you originated (proper behavior ;).
I haven't had the chance to thoroughly test this patch; as long
as something similar goes into gtk, I'd be happy. This behavior
has annoyed me for a long time, I just got around to fixing
it tonight (I originally made a patch for xmms:
http://home.vh.net/~aas/util.c.diff , but was informed that this
is the sort of thing that should be in gtk+ itself).

Re: Save CTree to file? please help

What's a good way to save everything in a CTree to a file so that the
tree can be easily rebuilt using this file?
It's easy to get the data in each column, but I can't think of a good way
to represent the nodes' structure (parents, children, siblings...) in a
file.
I'd suggest using XML, e.g. by libxml. Below is a code fragment to
draw an XML doc into a tree, two attributes are used, "text" and
"expanded", extend it for your needs. The reverse should also be
simple. Or you hold the data all the time in an xmlDoc, and only use
the GtkCTree to display the data.

Try using XML or an ASCII file using dot notation (i.e. parent.node1.node2.node3.node4). Cheers. Rick Esquibel Embedded Software/Engineer 5000 E.

Re: GScanner
flex is slower by orders of magnitude and gets very inefficient as many static symbols arrive. gscanner can also be used pretty esily to tokenize in memory strings without generating lexing tables and its runtime configurable for most things. if it integrated more naturally with bison, these might seem like better arguments :) i could *perhaps* live without flex's input file, but making do without a bison grammar file as the basis for a parser seems like a sure way towards madness. but then again, i've never tried to use gscanner and bison, so perhaps its easier than it looks. i also don't recall how much support for regexps gscanner has. i should go and look. --p ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
GTK+-Warning
I have been running some application (gimp, gnucash, gtkbitchx, pan) all rely on GTK+ and all have been generating a warning message which states that libxfce.so is missing. Does anyone know a reason why a library used for XFCE would be need for these application? Also, if someone has an idea as to how to stop the warning messages which does not require me to reload XFCE I would greatly appreciate it. Please send any response to my email address I do not check this newsgroup regularly. Thanks ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
help needed with gdk_drawable_get_size
Hi, I'm trying to determine the size of a drawing area using gdk_drawable_get_size, as documented in the GDK online reference manual. I'm a bit of a newbie to all this, but I had a peek in /gdk/gdk.h and it doesn't seem to be in there, so does it still exist? If not, how else can I determine the size of a drawing area?

lack of const in glib::GDate
Hi, I'm using the GDate stuff in glib-1.2.9, and I noticed that const has not been used anywhere. I was wondering if there was a reason that it was designed that way, and if there are any plans for changing it in the future. I also noticed that const has been used in other places in the API. Curious, Ben. BTW I'm not on the list. ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Is it possible to compile/install GTK+/glib on a Mac OS X system?

GtkHTML
I can't figure out how to use this widget. It is installed. I tried including gtkhtml.h and gtkhtml.c, but that doesn't work. I even installed bonobo, gnome-print, gal, and glibwww.

glib 2 warning.
here are some fixes for Makefile.am and configure.in, also ANSI fixes. also, when compile with --enable-ansi, I get warnings "gdate.c:817: warning: implicit declaration of function `localtime_r'" and similar. It means that __USE_POSIX is not defined (these functions are declared inside #ifdef's). maybe not a problem. also, email addresses in HACKING and MAINTAINERS look strange a bit... -- Gediminas Paulauskas build_ansi_fixes.diff.gz
