Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Question about the best way to add support for system file dialogs

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

I'm on batter with a very bad network connection, so apologies for
the brief reply.  I'd probably go with system dialogs, rather than
using something written in SDL.  That is, either OS-specific code,
or, as you suggested, GTK+.  Or perhaps Qt or wxWidgets.

On OS X, BeOS (I believe) and Windows, we have OS-specific code for bringing
up printer dialogs.  (On Linux, I use a system() or popen() command to
execute an external tool, such as "kprinter" or "xprinter".)

Thanks and good luck!
