"Responsive Design" with Gtk+
Hi All, In my reddit application, I have this terribly long buttonbox that displays some useful information about each comment (eg. showing the author's name, score, date, etc). However, the box gets too long for the window sometimes. In that situation, it is desirable for me to hide some of the buttons (eg, don't show the date) rather than force the user to expand the window. Is there an idiomatic way to do this? My current hack scares me. It is quite simple [1]. I wrap the button box in a GtkBin, which uses Height for Width size allocation. When the box is asked for it's minimum requires width, it reports 1px, When it is asked for it's preferred hight for width, it takes that width figure and hides the appropriate buttons to fit within that width. However, this causes a lot of gtk warnings in the console. It is also very slow.

Re: GLib Library License
GLib is licensed under LGPL which allows linking with non-LGPL code. But you still have to provide access for the end user to update the LGPL code that your application uses. In theory this means either providing your proprietary code as object files or in practice, linking to the LGPL code dynamically and provide file system access for the end user to replace the LGPL shared library. This is usually no problem for a desktop application, but might not be possible for "consoles", mobile phones, or other closed system. In such systems you might not be able to provide for the demands of the LGPL license, in which case you cannot use the LGPL software. Note that I am not a lawyer, and this is my own interpretation, and for legal advice you should turn to a lawyer.

GLib Library License
Hi, GTK-List users. I'm curious about GLib license, mainly because I'm thinking about using Vala in closed source (or zlib if that would be possible in future) project, which may (or not) be used on different platforms including iOS (which doesn't allow dynamic linkage), PS4 and XBoxOne. Would it require to make application available under LGPL as well or I would able to kept application under any license I like while sharing (if target platform allows it, because I doubt about PS4 and XONE) changes for GLib if there was any. Just don't want to go wrong way and force myself to drain inside license problems in future.

Re: [Vala] GIO, GVfs, custom isolated URI handler
Hi Aleksandr, Maybe what you're looking for is PhysicsFS: https://icculus.org/physfs/ I'm not sure if there is a Vala binding already, but creating one would be fairly trivial. I don't believe PhysicsFS will do the priority search for you, but it wouldn't require much code to implement that. Given what you've stated as your goal I don't think any bicycles need to be reinvented :-) Aaron Quoting Aleksandr Palamar : Hi, everyone. I'm kind of new to GLib in general, but already have some basic understanding of how it works. I'm planning to make a game using Vala (which means GLib, GObject and GIO). One of the first things is to make isolated VFS with different mount points on file system, each of has it's own priority while looking for an existing file. I saw that GIO has something for mounting and it's own GVfs, so may I extend/set up them in some way to achieve my goal or that is totally another opera and I would have to reinvent my own bicycle? For example, while asking for file by URI resource://textures/blank.ktx it will try to search for (sorted by priority): ~/.game/mod/textures/blank.ktx ~/.game/base/textures/blank.ktx /opt/game/mod/textures/blank.ktx /opt/game/base/textures/blank.ktx ___ vala-list mailing list vala-l...@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Re: [Vala] GIO, GVfs, custom isolated URI handler
Hello, isn't what you are planning an overkill? Are you sure you need a filesystem abstraction layer for something that is basically, calling stat() a few times? You may also think about using GResource for compiling all resources and linking statically with the app (that makes sense if they are not huge, of course).
