# Talk:Leafpad

There are different forks of Leafpad like Mousepad and L3afpad. --79.224.243.77 (talk) 19:46, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

If you have references that show that this is the case, then this information can be added to the article. - Ahunt (talk) 20:00, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
For Mousepad see Xfce#Mousepad, seems like the development of Mousepad was stopped. --79.224.250.145 (talk) 13:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
It sounds like it, although no refs are cited there. I added a bit of text there and one ref. Mousepad is no longer listed as an Xfce project. - Ahunt (talk) 13:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
But L3afpad looks active, see http://www.calno.com/l3afpad/. --79.224.229.25 (talk) 18:16, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
It's a port of Leafpad to Gtk3. --79.224.244.137 (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
I have added it to the article, although some more detail would be useful. - Ahunt (talk) 12:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Leafpad. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

GTK is a widget toolkit for creating user interfaces, not a programming language. - Ahunt (talk) 14:09, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

You know what, you're not wrong and I was focused on it saying "written in" in the actual infobox and not "programming language" in the parameter name itself. I've self-reverted my last edit. GTK itself is written in C (usually?) but a source specifically saying Leafpad is written in C wouldn't hurt either. - Aoidh (talk) 14:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Many free software projects actually don't specify the language they are written in on their websites, unless you get into the source code or they are specifically looking for volunteers with experience in certain languages. - Ahunt (talk) 14:57, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
I overlooked it the first time but GitHub shows what is written in what language and according to the helpful languages breakdown section on the right-hand side 67.1% of Leafpad is C, with Perl taking up the next largest chunk with 30.2%. - Aoidh (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Well that is actually pretty useful! - Ahunt (talk) 15:41, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

The sentence that begins "As part of the LXDE desktop environment, Leafpad is pre-installed as the default graphical text editor on Linux distributions that use LXDE, such as Bodhi Linux" gives the impression Bodhi Linux uses LXDE. Bodhi uses Moksha and not LXDE. Rbtylee (talk) 17:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

@Rbtylee: You are correct, that was a mistake on my part. I've updated the wording to address this. - Aoidh (talk) 02:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
