Glade 作为 GTK3/4/5 的起点（而不是 Gnome-Builder）

Question

现在已经花了一些时间来了解 Gnome Builder、Glade、Vala 和 Genie - 并考虑到优秀的 Gnome 人机界面指南 (GHIG) - 为什么 Glade 不是几乎所有 GTK GUI 应用程序的起点？

例如，是否有任何程序会采用 Glade（模板）xml 文件并自动生成相应的程序化 Vala 或 Genie 源代码？例如，如果有标准 Gtk.ApplicationWindow Glade xml 文件，这些文件遵循 Glade/Gnome 附带的 GHIG，这些文件可以快速适应特定项目和带有自动生成信号的 Genie 类模板 - 加上完整的 gresource/介子/flatpak结构。这将简单地直接导入 Gnome-Builder 作为起点。有没有做过类似的事情？

更新

以下文件 application.gs 是使用 Genie 属性组合从 application.ui 自动生成的。不想在这里重新发明轮子——这就是这个问题的原因。以下删除了一些字段，但实际文件已完全完成并可以使用。除了 'application.ui' 的内容之外，唯一需要的信息是资源路径和 ui 文件名。一切都已包含在 Glade 文件中。

/*
  {PROJECT_SPACE}

  '{PROJECT_NAME}' is a command line tool that will parse a glade ui
  template and generate a skeleton class in the Genie language
  with composite widgets. It will generate GTKTemplate, GTKChild
  and GTKCallback entries.

  '{PROJECT_NAME}' exists within the {PROJECT_NAMESPACE} namespace.

Answer 1

例如，是否有任何程序会采用 Glade（模板）xml 文件并自动生成相应的程序化 Vala 或 Genie 源代码？

算了。 Glade 曾经有一个嵌入式功能，可以生成相应的代码来创建 UI。这已被删除是有充分理由的：它使应用程序代码无法维护，因为您手动修改生成的代码，如果您想更改您的 UI，您必须重新生成源代码并解决所有冲突。

现在使用 Glade 生成的 UI 文件只需几行代码即可使用 GtkBuilder。我同意虽然能够在您的代码中插入具有正确签名的回调将是一个加号。也许 GNOME Builder 计划这样做？您可能需要检查GNOME Builder developper's blog。
