Rerunning ruby-glade-create-template

[apoth]

If I create a complicated UI and need to make a change to it down the line, currently I have to rerun ruby-glade-create-template and add in all the 'glue' code again for the callbacks to link to the 'business logic'.

Is there a way of regenerating the glade file and keeping the glue code where I've left widgets otherwise untouched? It'd be really useful if there is.

Thanks

You don't have to rerun ruby-glade-create-template every time you make a change to the gui. Glade only updates the .glade file. You will have to add callbacks, but they are simple method declarations.

Try Gladex (https://launchpad.net/gladex/). It has a GUI, supports ruby code generation. I also believe it keeps the GUI code and your callback code in two different files and will append the callback file when you add a new callback to the glade file.
