open_dialog warning

[pvermees]

The following script was put together using code snippets from the documentation:

using Gtk4
win = GtkWindow("open_dialog tester", 400, 200)
function f(filename)
   println(filename * " loaded")
end
open_dialog(f, "Pick a file to open", win)

Running it from the REPL gives the following warning:

(process:259564): Gtk-WARNING **: 08:28:46.055: Attempting to add 'file:///home/test/test.txt' to the list of recently used resources, but no name of the application that is registering it was defined

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but how does one get rid of this warning?

What platform? This is something the underlying C library is doing. I will look for a way of quieting the warning this weekend.

Julia 1.10.4 under Ubuntu 22.04.4 with i3wm

Thanks!

[jwahlstrand]

The warning is being emitted because the application name isn't set: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/main/gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c?ref_type=heads#L932

Try the following before calling open_dialog:

Gtk4.GLib.G_.set_application_name("myapp")
Gtk4.GLib.G_.set_prgname("myapp")

For me that gets rid of the warning. Maybe these should be set to something like "julia" or "Gtk4.jl" by default in the package if GtkApplication is not used (which handles this automatically).

Let me know if this helps.

Now I get

Gtk-WARNING **: 13:05:47.701: No IM module matching GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus found

[jwahlstrand]

I don't see that "ibus" warning using i3wm on Fedora.

Potential clue:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ibus-no-more-gtk-im-module-ibus/17727

Could you set ENV["GTK_IM_MODULE"]="ibus"?

[pvermees]

I can't quite figure out how to do this. I will be offline for a couple of days but will investigate it further when I return. You've already helped me a lot. Thanks!

[jwahlstrand]

I was able to try this on GNOME on Ubuntu and the "ibus" warning doesn't appear. So it looks like a i3wm + Ubuntu issue? Thanks for pointing out the other warning, I had seen it but didn't realize it was easy to fix.

[pvermees]

All fine now. Thanks for the help!
