It uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition
|
|
|
|
|
tables while several (optional) file system tools provide support for
|
2008-04-22 08:57:03 -06:00
|
|
|
file systems not included in libparted. These optional packages will
|
2008-04-07 08:44:33 -06:00
|
|
|
be detected at runtime and don't require a rebuild of GParted.

GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The
|
|
|
|
|
general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible. That's why
|
2008-04-22 08:57:03 -06:00
|
|
|
we try to conform to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
