The main reason is that properties for values are ocaml code in zoggy, instead of just predefined constants in glade. A zoggy->glade translator would be possible but some properties values would be lost when the given ocaml code is different from the predefined ocaml code values. Parameters to generated classes defined in zoggy would be lost too :-( A glade->zoggy translator would be possible, but zoggy doesn't support all the information that glade does. All Gtk widgets will soon be supported in zoggy, as well as the menu definitions, but i don't know if i'll add the connection of functions to events in zoggy. -- Maxence Guesdon
