Libadwaita ? #775

I like this application very much; it would be great to have a port to GTK4 & Libadwaita, therefore the UX would be more polished and the application would better integrate in the modern desktop environments.. |

I started to test PDF Arranger with GTK4 but there are still lot of work to make it work (see jeromerobert/pdfarranger-dev@master...gtk4). The main problem is that I do not see any reasonable way to have a code base compatible with both GTK3 and GTK4. As GTK3 is still our main target (because the main target of all Linux distribution), you'll have to wait a bit. |

I await GTK4/libadwaita, as well! |

It might be worth revisiting this, as even conservative distros like Debian 12 (stable) ship GTK4 applications by default now (and lots of bugfixes have happened throughout 2023). At this point I see no reason to keep shipping GTK3 if you are able to migrate your codebase to GTK4. A new Ubuntu LTS version is coming out this month as well, and distributing as a Flatpak pretty much isolates you from "some distro doesn't offer GTK4" problems. |

With Debian 11 going EOL in 3 month you have a point I think. As long as Gtk3 works and is not causing any issues other than some people thinking 4 would look nicer I personally don't feel like spending time on a migration. |
