I guess there are a number of reasons why I decided to go down that
route:<br>
<br>
1. At the time I started with the idea, GTK4 was very fresh.<br>
2. xsane is the primary scanning application for wide range of
systems. I wasn't convinced that GTK4 was mature (or available) for
all of them, whereas GTK3 has been around for a long time.<br>
3. Lack of time to look into yet another version of GTK given our
scant developer resources. The move to Cairo for drawing exclusively
is the biggest aspect which affects the Preview window principally.
I think most of the other items have already been largely taken care
of.<br>
<br>
I don't think that I planned the move to GTK3 as part of the next
release. Probably the one after.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the only fairly major piece of functionality that I have
remaining for that release is the CEGL stuff for GIMP plugin
support.<br>
The others are bugs and build system updates.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

That's great.<br>
Would you like to contact me directly?<br>
<br>
I have been doing some work on xsane but that has stalled a
little since <br>
I have been working on the things.<br>
