Well… my EFL experimenting can continue. This is a big supprise, even tho EFL is unknown to many, it proves itself to be a very mature framework. I love to use it on Enlightenmen and I will love it on haiku too. @ablyss Thank YOU !!!

@theokeist awesome blossom! The backend ELF tests are amazing, all sorts of cool toys to mockup a cool GUI. There some bugs and wrinkles I still need to work out with Claude, proper URL handling and some mouse freeze ups with Terminology. But so far I’m really pleased too

Updates with Fixes

• Fixed URL handling.. links, emails etc.. will open default application in Haiku.
• Fixed a bug in that would case terminology to freeze up.

Updates and Fixes

• Fixed copy and pasting from keyboard.
• Added --gl flag for users who use mesa/llvm and want to run EFL apps in SDL Open GL window.
• Mesa/llvm user settings are remembered so if you set the render to use GL in elementary_config it will remember it. ( Not an option for nebula users - see below ).
• Added --nebula flag for users who want to test the sdl opengl window but be advised doing so will freeze the entire system when the window is closed. Maybe a driver issue. This is the only way to test nebula. Adjusting the render is disabled in elementary_config if you use nebula.

Updates

• Added drag and drop folders and media.
