Quoting bulia byak <buliabyak@...400...>:
Somehow in all our discussions about refactoring, few if any mentions were made of the long-standing code duplication: the "new GUI" switch and the fact that src/widgets/desktop-widget has been duplicated in ui/view/edit-widget. This second copy lingers there for at least two years, unused, with little progress. Do we still need it? As I vaguely remember, at least one of the reasons for starting it was to get collapsable toolbars, but we have them now working fine with the old UI. Will anyone object if I remove ui/view/edit-widget and related unused code post-0.47?
I have to wait until I'm back on a computer to check for sure, but the main reason I recall for the "new GUI" was the "gtkmmification" of the codebase.
I'll need to look over things with an eye for removall also since post-0.47 I was needing to replace the backing code of the icon preview to one of those subclasses.
