Features/GTK3/Porting/Log

This page is being performed while I'm porting Log Activity to Gtk3.

There is a ticket with some useful information that I'm using on the porting and to keep tracking this port. Besides, this wiki page will be useful to write some code snippets about what are the difficulties that I'm having on the port and maybe can be useful for someone else.

I will take this guide as reference on the Gtk3 porting.

Code Snippets

Gtk.TextView

• gtk2: http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktextview.html#method-gtktextview--scroll-to-mark
• Gtk3: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.5/GtkTextView.html#gtk-text-view-scroll-to-mark

Gtk.TextView.scroll_to_mark needs all the arguments. In gtk2 version three of them were optional (use_align, xalign, yalign)

self._textview.scroll_to_mark(log.get_insert(), 0)

replaced with:

self._textview.scroll_to_mark(log.get_insert(), 0, use_align=False, xalign=0.5, yalign=0.5)

Missing things

• Copy button doesn't work
• Look for a FIXME in the code (logviewer.py)
