Re: [gtk+osx] [CinePaint-dev] GTK+OSX progress

Robin,

gtk-osx:
has some issues with the event loop. I think I could improve there 
something but did not dig too deep into this. The plug-ins run but the 
wire data exchange is not silk.

Icons are not drawn all, see the Layer&Channels dialog.
Updating does not work properly for tabs, Layer&Channels dialog as well.
The draw order is not correct. Hidden elements are drawn to foreground.
The events are not instantly available after a window switch, for instance 
from the colour selector to draw in a window.

The slider is still not calculated correctly.

The image is displayed before the colour is matched to the display.

These are only some obvious events. More are to be expected.

gtk2-osx:
In the long run Gtk2 promises at least some community support, even if it 
is not that much mature. I missed there font location for creating 
bundles and tablet support. Currently I can not test further. But a simple 
drawing test should provide a overview. The drawing area update is 
probably due to a incorrect object initialisation in CinePaint.


Relocation:
A known plug-in is searched and the paths are set to match this file.
Starting with app/main.c:183 GetDirAbsoluteExec() the path of the 
executeable is searched from the first main C array (argv) argument.

Then the blur plug-in is searched to verify the plug-in path. On success
SetDirPrefix() stores the path and this is queryable from the programm 
through GetDirData() and GetDirPrefix(). They are both defined in 
lib/wire/datadir.c/h .

They help for searching the mascot image, rc files, feed the tips dialog 
and the mentioned brushes and gettext files.


kind regards
