funny how thinks indesign scripters have "more" influence on adobe :)

 

it may perhaps seem (from distance--a large one) because indesign's scripting interface several magnitudes larger, better, , faster of other suite siblings. however: indesign youngest sibling of adobe's adult applications, , has been created virtually out of nothing.

 

the other, *much* older apps evolved out of original mc68000 assembly code (i of that!) , scripting support has been tacked on sticky tape through years. indesign, built in architecture right start.

 

"full scripting support" appears surely moving down priority queue, *even* flagship application. evidenced in latest version, cc, not there *so* few new additions marc list them *all* in single short blog post, few additions added in *lazy* way possible: crudely glued on first basic pre-existing object able find. (it's reason decided not create new html file cc; amount of work doesn't agree me -- @ least -- equal increase in value).

 

it's time ol' ecmascript engine got overhaul well: why *not* upgrade latest version of javascript? (.. , token of will: same upgrade still large base of cs4-cs6 users.)

 

</rantmode> ;-)

hi, if developing platform independent software in linux using gtk+/gtkmm , you've managed cross compile windows, guide you. i'm posting because after researching topic myself, encountered many posts people have abandoned gtk+/gtkmm wxwidgets because of gtks ugly default appearance in windows/wine. gtk+ themeable in windows/wine gnome. have set correctly . . . here's how. guide gtkmm gtk+ similar. (1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure. (substitute 'proj' whatever project called) mkdir ~/proj mkdir ~/proj/bin mkdir ~/proj/etc mkdir ~/proj/etc/gtk-2.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines mkdir ~/proj/share mkdir ~/proj/share/themes (3) move directory gtkmm installed (probably ~/.wine/drive...
