----ADDITONAL COMMENT on Jun 2021
some might think asking to remove gtk3 as a "mandatory" dependency might be exagerated.
After all gtk3 is still needed by so many things, like firefox, thunderbird etc. So everyone must have it on their desktop anyway right ?
No. I dont have them on my Arch Linux Raspberry Pi's. I dont need a "desktop" there. I dont have Xorg there.
Nope, pipe-viewer as a cli app makes it an excelent and snappy text browsing tool for youtube audio.
And I can still watch videos with mpv (framebuffer) without gtk or Xorg, with the same pipe-viewer.
----ORIGINAL COMMENT
Hi trizen, thanks for all your nice work on pipe, straw and youtube viewers. Very interesting tools and very happy user.
Why the gtk mandatory dependency ? Why not make it optional ? So many other perl and python apps with both a cli and an (optional) gtk gui interface do it like that.
I run it perfectly fine with the text interface, and I dont want to install things that I dont need. Because of this dependency beeing mandatory instead of optional I end up with gtk3 in my system.
:: removing gtk3 breaks dependency 'gtk3' required by perl-gtk3:: removing perl-gtk3 breaks dependency 'perl-gtk3' required by pipe-viewer-gitI suppose the target users of these tools are some what knowledge able users who are at least familiar with the command line. And for sure they are capable of installing the extra that they might feel that they are missing if they think so.
Thanks in advance
