#qt

21 posts19 participants3 posts today

@alfonsosiciliano I think this should really be a development decision. When a GUI is well designed and implemented, whether it uses #qt or #gtk really shouldn't matter from the user's perspective.

I personally like #qt a lot, it's more or less the only reason I touch #cplusplus at all (really don't like that language, good old #c rocks 😏). And the one time it didn't fit the bill for me, for performance reasons with very special requirements, I finally resorted to coming up with my own little #X11 "toolkit" instead 🙈

sysctlview freshports.org/deskutils/sysct is a GUI utility for sysctl on #FreeBSD. :freebsd:
It's probably my first #opensource project 👨‍💻 , it's still in the Ports Collection 📦 and runs fine, but it hasn't been updated in years.

Maybe it's finally time to brush up on #C++ and give sysctlview a proper rewrite.
The original version uses #gtkmm (#GTK for C++), but a few years ago I ran a poll and most people preferred #qt
So maybe a QTsysctlview is on the horizon? 👀

I think there is a Dunning–Kruger like effect whereby the complexity of rewriting an open source project from scratch is vastly underestimated the less you know about the scope of the work.

You could make 80% of #inkscape in a couple of months of javascripting. But this is 80% of Inkscape's surface. Not actual depth.

Rewrite it all in #Qt? #React? #JS? #Rust? These are ideas aren't bad. But they are vast projects that would cost millions of dollars.

hi! random shot in the dark, does anyone here know how to use kdebuilder? specifically for building qt frameworks?
i have managed to build qt with it, but running a kde app that uses qml results in it complaining about not finding kirigami/kde desktop libraries
is there a complete guide on doing this? the official documentation is quite terse!

i am still trying various things, so i may stumble upon the solution myself...

please boost!

#kde #qt

Oh boy ...

I switched @novelwriter to Qt6 on the recent 2.7 release, and that has caused sooo many problems with the AppImage.

I spent 7-8 hours yesterday trying to fix things, but AppImages are horrible to work with when you can't just use one of the standard tools that does everything for you.

... and now I hate AppImages.
