Hi to everybody,

I want to discuss about Gtk-3 Mac integration.

--------
Menu bar
--------

At first let discuss about the menu bar:

I can easily display a menu bar using:

.. code-block:: C

  void gtkosx_application_set_menu_bar(GtkosxApplication *self, GtkMenuShell *menu_shell);

  void gtkosx_application_sync_menubar(GtkosxApplication *self);
  

But the shortcuts are not displayed into the menubar using the 2 first functions.

And the radio buttons are not updated (the checkbox stay at the same place) when you choose another that the one defined per default. 

---

I have defined a type named ``GTK_SMART_MENU_ITEM`` which you can see here: <https://github.com/mrcyberfighter/gfast-copy/blob/master/gfast-copy-1.0/src/GtkSmartMenuItem.c>.

I think I don't do it right because I don't use, because I don't have understand, the following functions:

.. code-block:: C

  void gtkosx_application_insert_app_menu_item(GtkosxApplication *self, GtkWidget *menu_item, gint index);
  
  void gtkosx_application_set_window_menu(GtkosxApplication *self, GtkMenuItem *menu_item);

  void gtkosx_application_set_help_menu(GtkosxApplication *self, GtkMenuItem *menu_item); 
  
  
+ The first ``gtkosx_application_insert_app_menu_item(...)`` you must add a widget and an index.

Must I start the index at 0 per every GtkMenu or what's about this function. 

And how bind a GtkMenu to a GtkMenuItem on Mac with this ?


Will it work right after using ``gtkosx_application_insert_app_menu_item(...)`` ?

For AccelLabels displaying and updating the radio buttons ?
 

I could embed this function into my code but I must know how. 

+ The 2 last functions I don't have understand it at all.

----------
Open files
----------

By the way when you define a GtkApplication opening files doesn't work at all

using the "open" signal:

.. code-block:: C

  The “open” signal

  void  user_function (GApplication *application,
               gpointer      files,
               gint          n_files,
               gchar        *hint,
               gpointer      user_data)
               
               
  The "open" signal is emitted on the primary instance when there are files to open. See g_application_open() for more information. 

--------------------
GtkFileChooserNative
--------------------

I have intercept (view on the Web) that the GtkFileChooserNative should work on

MacOSX displaying a native Mac file chooser.

But into my tries it display an abnormal GNU/Linux File chooser.

What's about ? 

---------
Packaging
---------

As long as I talk with MacOSX geeks I can't build a packages for Mac.


Because I failed to relocated the libraries getting from brew concerning Gtk+-3.0 into others using ``install_name_tool``.


The best I can do Is to provide an entry into the /Applications folder using the autotools.


I had the worse idea to create a *.pkg package and to copy the dependencies (identify with otool),

into their original folder and to provide the /Applications menu entry.


But with brew it's a hell of symlinks and I don't have the courage to do it.


Does nobody get a script using otool and install_name_tool for relocating the libraries

into an /Application/my_app.app package ? 

-----------------
Gtk Notifications  
-----------------

Doesn't work at all nor on Mac neither on Windows.  

----------
Final word
----------
  
P.S: I open a lot of problems relying on Gtk-3 I don't want to insult anyone, I don't criticize, nobody is perfect.

     But for some of the problems it have maybe an answers ?
     
     Gtk is the best G.U.I for GNU/Linux but is less popular than Qt and less portable.
