Description Alexander Shaduri 2010-03-25 17:25:47 UTC 
Please add support for converting between libglade and GtkBuilder file formats without launching Glade UI.

As suggested at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594231#c13 (comment 13), something like this would be great:
glade-3 --target-format=GtkBuilder file.glade > file.ui
glade-3 --target-format=libglade file.ui > file.glade

This could be integrated into the third-party program's build system to generate libglade files when needed. By using autoconf's capabilities it's quite easy to avoid compile-time Glade dependency by pre-generating the files at "make dist" stage (unless they are modified later, of course).

This allows supporting operating systems where upgrading to GTK 2.12 is problematic (e.g. long-term supported distributions like RHEL).

Thanks!

Format conversions are a long time past... this wont be added to Glade 3.8 sorry.
