Version 0.2.1, 2014-07-07
This library provides a high-level API for simple user interfaces with kdialog (forthcoming: dialog/zenity/yad/cocoadialog)
Sometimes, being usable matters. In addition to providing the world’s most intricate command suite and option parsing for expert users, it might be nice to just give a little interface. Not so much that you have to restructure your whole program around some GUI framework, but if you need a filename or a little text entry box or a confirmation box, the "dialog"-like programs can make the job a lot easier.
This is intended to make it easy for you, as a programmer, to make your programs easier to use. Everyone wins, right?
Further documentation can be generated with by running 'rake'
