Question for those who are familiar with Python.
I always wanted Devede to run with qt3. I'm looking at the sources for Devede and see that the bulk of the app is python scripts. The dependencies listed on the Devede home page:
Mplayer, Mencoder, FFMpeg, DVDAuthor, VCDImager, MKisofs, Python, PyGTK and PyGlade.
The graphical interface is through PyGTK and PyGlade. All of the various interface dialogs are UI files, which are XML files.
How challenging would porting Devede to qt3 be?

I'm betting pretty difficult. Since basically they are 'wrapping everything up in pygtk, you'd practically be rewriting the whole app.
I would say not realistic, efforts are better put into developing a better integrated gtk-qt engine

Okay.
My biggest complaint with GTK apps is the GTK file picker. Does not compare with KDialog. What do we need to do to integrate KDialog with GTK apps? Is that possible at our end? Something like what Tim did with LibreOffice.
kgtk-qt3 is an ugly hack that I won't use. :)

Did you try gtk-qt-engine? It's a separate "hack" that targets the theme GTK theme rather than the dialogs, and it adds a module to Control Center to adjust it.

Yes, yes, yes. For years. That package has nothing to do with the awful GTK file pickers. :)

I thought it applied the theme to all GTK apps that would allow it to? Or are you talking something other than theming?

Not taling about theming. I'm talking about the GTK file picker. KDialog is much nicer.

What's the problem with the kgtk dialog? Unfortunately everything feels like a hack when going cross-toolkits, but the hack in place is probably as good as it can get.

My only thought is to look at the kde3 integration for openoffice or libreoffice that allows integration of KDialog with those apps. They are the only ones, along with Opera 10X, that I recall ever allowing selection of the file picker. It would be a huge win if you could find a way to generically do it. My understanding though, is that each app must be patched to use KDialog instead of its native filechooser (picker).

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you were talking about, I use almost strictly Qt :-)
You know the drill when it comes to FOSS, right? If you don't like something in a certain piece of software, either file a feature request, change it yourself, or write a new one. Or find someone else you can bribe someone else into doing it ;-) - -- Kris Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/

Yeah but this is where I am confused Darrell, doesn't kgtk's dialogs provide what you are looking for?
