Well, I'm back! You did some nice work on the Plugin system; this is a
strong basis for a further popularity growth of Beaver.
Welcome back ^^
Can you tell me what's the difference between (for example)
beaver_text_find_impl and beaver_text_find?
Well in essence beaver_text_find is just a pointer (actually a function
pointer). beaver_text_find_impl is the implementation (hence the impl at
the end :-)) of this. The function pointer is pointing to this
implementation. The cool thing about this architecture is, that we can
change the implementation (for example find a better search algorithm)
and automatically all plugins use the new implementation, without having
to recompile the plugins.
I hope I can do some good work when you're spending time on your exams.
Then hurry, got the last exams this week ^^
Until now, I haven't really written new code, I have just fixed things
in Beaver, probably because of my lack of programming experience. But
I can just get more experience when I write some new things. Maybe you
have some good ideas?
Well there are many possibilities now that the plugin system is there ^^
A cool diff utility would be nice. Don't think that it should be hard.
At least I can fix the interface with all the functions that need to
be linked to the GtkUiManager menu items.
I saw that you added an else case in box.c (in the function
beaver_box_question_impl). Were there any errors before? I didn't think
that the else case was necessary.
