Description Alexander Papaspyrou 2004-01-25 07:45:17 UTC

By chance, I discovered a patch (see the bug's URL for more information and screenshots) for gtk+-2.2.4 which adds a nicer (REALLY) file selector dialog. After testing it a little bit, I modified the current gtk+-2.2.4 ebuild (r1) to add the patch during emerge.

As far as I can see, it works for me (tm) -- the patch seems to preserve ABI compatibility, as I hadn't to relink anything.

Can someone test this stuff and report how it works? If yes, I'd like to see the patch added to the standard gtk+ ebuild (even if it does provide only 85% i18n/l10n).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the provided archive and unpack to /usr/local/portage
2. Run "emerge gtk+"
3. Start any GTK+/GNOME application and use the "File->Open" dialog.

Actual Results:  
Whoohoo!

Expected Results:  
Whoohoo!

Created attachment 24392 [details]
Complete set of files for the PORTDIR_OVERLAY (with digests) as a tar/bz2-archive.

This archive contains the complete x11-libs/gtk+ subtree for unpacking into
PORTDIR_OVERLAY. The digests are generated and the patch has been added.

i'd say wait until the next GTK+ release :P

Does this mean "No.", "Maybe..." or "Go away!"?

This basicly means no, it has no priority. We are aware of several different filedialog patches, but don't think it's a good idea to move from one to the next and have a completely different selector in a few weeks.

Comment 6 Alexander Papaspyrou 2004-01-26 06:47:57 UTC

Sadly true. As such, I will change the bug's resolution to WONTFIX and <sniff> wait until GNOME 2.6 is released...
