@GettingThingsGNOME @nekohayo I wanted to ask you about the status of #GTG 0.7 with the new core and #GTK4. Is the release still far away or rather close? The last comment on the related issue [1] was almost a year ago and it did not seem not to be too far away then. Thanks!

Turns out that if you have structured your file handling code correctly from the start, then implementing drag and drop is actually easier than anticipated.

Shoutout to @nakura for great DJ intros that are perfect for testing a waveform viewer.

I'm absolutely stuck on Windows building #Gtk GResource source into a CPP project.

Is anyone an expert?

The problem is that including the code causes MINGW gcc linker to delete the entire of the rest of the project except for the gresource souce, so it obviously won't link with everything missing.

I have no idea why gnu would choose to destroy everything. I would have preferred a build error.

(it doesn't help I don't have a windows machine)

Help me fedi, you're my only hope!

Oh man, Apostrophe app in Flathub is really awesome. I just wish it had a folder or vault workspace and a graph view like Obsidian. *phew*

Just made real list widget with ability to reorder items! Animations included! Used #libadwaita Tab widgets as a reference #Gtk #Vala

I've been beta testing and dogfooding at work the RC of @cartero, which I intend to release later today, and I got to say that the enhancements added in #GTK 4.18 for the macOS port are incredible.

Native window controls when using a GtkHeaderBar: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/8071

Menu bars now make more sense because it's easier to hook standard actions in the Edit menu: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/7906

I'm very pleased with how it looks on a final application.

Greetings Programs!! We're back at it trying to get this @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2 release in shape!! Come on by!!

I follow the development of GNOME from time to time and I quite like how it goes.

The new release is here:

https://release.gnome.org/48

I still curious how extensible it is and if it possible to built on top of it.

Infuriating #GTK discovery of the day: There is seemingly no way to load gettext `.mo` files from a GResource, and no way to overwrite the common `_("Hello there")` syntax to resolve to a custom function with a different i18n library
