Seems like #GTK 4 really discourages using drag and drop as a method of sorting lists. My implementation is reaching 200+ lines. I get that it's not very accessible, and maybe impossible on devices without a mouse. But I'm struggling to think of an alternative for large lists of items such as music playlists. Using Up/Down buttons to move an item from position 1 to position 100 seems like a lot of presses... #gnome

TIL: Normally, GtkApplication will assume that arguments passed on the command line are files to be opened.

./demo /tmp/test
This application can not open files.

🤔

app = gtk_application_new("de.devlug.sandbox.demo", G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_OPEN);

Danach das Signal "open" per g_signal_connect "verbinden".

Open file:///tmp/test

Hier habe ich jetzt mal ein "Hello World" für eine #gtk Anwendung erstellt. In ein paar wenigen Zeile habe ich ein GUI mit zwei Buttons und einem Textfeld.

Ich bin ein Freund von g_assert (oder ähnlichem) geworden:
Debugging macro to terminate the application if the assertion fails.

Es hilft bei finden von Fehler, aber dokumentiert auch so direkt im Code die Erwartungen. Auch im Fall von Reworks / Redesign können sie sehr hilfreich sein.

The latest update to Typesetter is now available, bringing code completions/suggestions (through a Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut), new animations, a much more performant live preview for long documents (100+ pages), and various minor fixes and improvements.

It should update automatically if you already have it installed, otherwise, check it out on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.trowell.typesetter

First deep dive into GTK's styling... I'm probably violating a bunch of rules, but at least it works well enough x3

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D

You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

For all the KDE Kate enthusiasts and GTK developers (which I am sure there are except for just me haha), https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/1900 and https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/merge_requests/748 have both been merged into their respective projects, meaning Kate and Kwrite now supports Blueprint, the next-gen markup language for GTK/Libadwaita applications!

@zoeyTheWitch still can't believe that a text editor can do all of that, might as well just call it an IDE at this point.

@zoeyTheWitch Never heard about Blueprint before. 🤔 Is it meant to replace the current workflow regarding GTK Builder at some point (which currently loads XML files)?

Looks really promising! And thanks for those Kate improvements, I actually use it for GTK! :D

Show threadZoey Ahmed 🐀Nov 22

@Natanox Currently, blueprint compiles to GtkBuilder XML code at runtime, and is just meant to make it more accessible to write the UI code for GTK apps.

It's already used in most circle and external GTK4/Libadawita apps, and a few core ones like Settings,Web, Calendar and the new video player and PDF viewer added last update, showtime and Papers.

@zoeyTheWitch @Natanox small correction: It does so at build time.
Show threadkramoNov 22
@zoeyTheWitch @Natanox well I mean technically nothing prevents you from doing it at runtime… but you definitely don’t need to haha

Not the weirdest platform anyone has ever targeted with Blueprint. But I wouldn’t know anything about that… https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/page.kramo/page.kramo.Blueprint/
