dependency: GTK+ with a version higher than 2.0.0. There are two optional dependencies that are part of the GNOME library and require a version higher than 2.2.0: libgnomeprint, which allows Leafpad to access printing functions, and libgnomeprintui, which is the package for the printing user interface. Installation on some Linux distributions may require additional dependencies based on the distribution's configuration. Reception A LinuxInsider review focused on the simplicity of Leafpad, saying that it leaves a small footprint on a system's resources, making it a good choice for compact Linux distributions. The review further highlighted some of the features of Leafpad, and noted its inability to open more than one file at a time, but pointed out that multiple instances of Leafpad could be open at once in order to work on multiple text files at a time. The review concluded by praising the print preview option of Leafpad as a good WYSIWYG representation of the final printout. A MakeTechEasier.com review noted that Leafpad was a lightweight alternative to the text editor Gedit, and said that Leafpad's simplicity was both an advantage for people seeking a simple text editor, and a disadvantage for those seeking additional features or functionality. An article by Admin Magazine comparing various text editors also focused on the lightweight nature of Leafpad. A review by DebugPoint.com called it an "ideal replacement" for the Windows program Notepad. The review called Leafpad's simplicity a feature in itself, and noted the lack of ongoing development for the software, stating that in order to keep the program lightweight further development was not needed. In a review of programming resources for the Raspberry Pi, Electromaker.io called Leafpad "the best text editor for the Raspberry Pi" and called it a solid resource for editing Python.
