Re: [E-devel] Evas Object Size Hints

[Nathan I. <nin...@gm...>]

In general I don't have any objections to the addition of size hints
to Edje, these could actually be useful to EWL as we could use them in
place of some of the existing size hints we get from Edje. I'm not
really certain why you want the ability to set the min and max sizes
programmatically since these are normally determined by the EDC
description, but I don't really see a problem with it. It might be a
little confusing to the themer if the programmatic setting is
overriding their expectations from the theme, but it's probably a rare
case.

I do have concerns about the layout in Edje that was hand-in-hand with
this size hinting discussion, but that probably deserves another
thread. Just to sum up my thoughts on it though: not a fan of yet
another layout lib, would prefer to see edje support for relative
layout descriptions, and it seems like the base issue you're working
around is the level of primitives Edje operates on.
