Subject: [E-devel] Provide sensible errors for edje utilities
If you start edje_player or edje_inspector with a path to a file that doesn't
exist you get a bogus error message saying that the file doesn't contain any
groups. The attached patch uses access() to check if the program can read the
file, giving a sensible error message if not.
I have checked the other utilities there, too, and they work, with the
exception of edje_external_inspector. I'm not sure how this one works at all,
but it seems not to take a file but a list of modules, maybe someone with
greater insight can take a look at that.
Going through things installed under bin, I'll take a look if those behave
properly and create patches for those, too, if this one is okay.

This tool inspects a binary EDJ file and dumps group names, part
names, parts, programs, externals, images, fonts and global data of
it. The output is in both human readable (edc-like) and machine
readable (easily parseable with shell scripts).
It allows filtering of groups, parts and programs names using glob
expressions (fnmatch). Also allows filtering of parts/prgrams that are
marked with "api:".
My idea is to later change elementary-generator to use this tool and
generate code for any Edje file, generating stub code for windows and
layouts marked with names "elm/win/*" and "elm/layoyt/application/*",
exposing parts marked as "api:". It would be much more helpful and
extensible than the current generator that is based on pre-defined C
code.
