---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emmanuele B. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Date: Jul 11, 2006 10:47 PM Subject: GtkRecentChooser API glitch To: GTK Development List [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Cc: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid, removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Hi all; Unfortunately, when importing the GtkRecent API in GTK+ I made a mistake and these two functions have been erroneously left inside the GtkRecentChooser interface API: gtk\_recent\_chooser\_set\_show\_numbers() gtk\_recent\_chooser\_get\_show\_numbers() These two functions try to set the “show-numbers” property, which is installed only by GtkRecentChooserMenu and it’s not one of the properties defined by the GtkRecentChooser interface. Using these functions on a GtkRecentChooserMenu (or any other custom GtkRecentChooser implementation which defines a boolean “show-numbers” property) will yield the expected results, while using them on a GtkRecentChooser implementation that do not support the “show-numbers” property will result in a warning. Since we are in a stable release we can’t mark those functions as deprecated, and we cannot remove them without breaking the API. You are advised not to use these functions: use the GtkRecentChooserMenu functions instead: gtk\_recent\_chooser\_menu\_set\_show\_numbers() gtk\_recent\_chooser\_menu\_get\_show\_numbers() Language binding authors should not bind those functions, but bind the GtkRecentChooserMenu functions instead. These functions will be marked as deprecated as soon as GTK+ will branch off for the 2.11/2.12 cycle, so you’ll have to bear with this inconsistency for a short period of time. Again, sorry for the mess.
