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?

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. :)

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?

feels like a hack when going cross-toolkits, but the hack in place is
probably as good as it can get.

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

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).

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 ;-)

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