Hi, although there was no sign that anyone would have cared about my last mail, here's another short status report from the HEAD branch. Perhaps this can bring the discussuib back to development since that's what this mailing list should be all about... > - Mitch is busy porting the menus to GtkUIManager and he has come a > long way already. The new system is going to be ready very soon now. This is still an ongoing effort but the new stuff looks promising. The menu XML files are all in place and so is the code that creates menus from them. What remains to be done is to adapt all callbacks to the new signatures. > - I've been working on providing a framework to migrate from the > deprecated GtkOptionMenu to GtkComboBox. The gimp_option_menu and > gimp_int_option_menu APIs have been deprecated and (almost) all code > has been ported to GimpIntCombobBox and GimpEnumComboBox.

This is basically finished now. gimpmenu.h has been deprecated and I've also ported all plug-ins from GtkOptionMenu to GimpIntComboBox. The new API turned out to work very well and every plug-in I touched has less code now. Although I did a quick test with (almost) all plug-ins, I can't guarantee that I didn't break things. Extensive testing of the changed plug-ins will be very much appreciated. There are a few users of GtkOptionMenu left. In particular this is: (a) GimpUnitMenu (which is derived from GtkOptionMenu) (b) the Paint mode menu in the core (c) the option menus in the core that use GimpContainerMenuImpl (a) and (b) are non-trivial because GtkComboBox doesn't support separators. We might want to wait until this changes (perhaps with gtk+-2.6). I will look into addressing (c) next. > - A plug-in to load and save windows icon files has been added. I figured that the plug-in is not working correctly at the moment. Not sure what exactly is going wrong but there's some debugging needed here. Sven
