Qt Creator and other tools

[quote author="Tobias Hunger" date="1281783078"]How should we handle mode switching? Should each creator window have its own mode (currently creator is based on the assumption that only one mode is active at any time)?[/quote] That would actually be nice. In this scenario, one could edit the forms and the code at the same time. It would be nice to be able to graphically reference the names of your widgets as you write control code for them. [quote]We like to have creator fully usable with just the keyboard, and we really want to keep it this way. So how is the user supposed to switch between multiple creator windows? Is it enough to rely on the OS-provided window-switching behavior or do we need to do something more tailored to the creator use-cases?[/quote] I think you have to rely on the operating system's window management at some point. It really doesn't make sense to have this window switching behavior controlled by the client. Otherwise, the use would probably be surprised that their alt-tab (or equivalent) OS window control doesn't work. I don't really know how the QtCreator use-cases handle behavior for windows that are minimized or in the background. However, I think you must let the window manager have as much control as it would of any other program [quote]Where should newly opened editors appear? What should happen when a file is already open in an editor in another window? Should that window then become active to show the file? Is that the right thing to do when that window is obscured/minimized? Should we raise/un-minimize it then or is that too distracting?[/quote] Other multi-window editors I have used update inactive windows with changes made to the active window. I don't know if this is preferable, but if an inactive window shares a document with an active window, the inactive window should be updated with changes made in the active window when it becomes active. You're right, there are some tricky use-cases here. However, I really see this feature as very important in making QtCreator competetive with other, more established IDEs. Thanks for responding!

cool :)

I finally found it, you need to add $(QTDIR)\src to your Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories->Source files.

IIRC MinGW isn’t anymore supplied when you don’t install full SDK, which is atleast for me the preferred way(I need/want newest GCC anyway)

chetankjain: Thanks:-)

[quote author="Smar" date="1281084862"]CMake's syntax is a bit unintuitive and if you need to do anything besides declarations, it gets pretty messy unless you want to put quite a bit time to write modules... Or that's how I think about it. [/quote] Ok, Smar, this is an option form in CMake for build/update translations. @option (UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS "Update source translation *.ts files (WARNING: make clean will delete the source .ts files! Danger!)") if (UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS) QT4_CREATE_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${TRANSLATIONS}) else (UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS) QT4_ADD_TRANSLATION(QM_FILES ${TRANSLATIONS}) endif (UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS) @ What replacement for it will be in QtScript as buldsystem or other stuff?

Can we try to have QML based CSS editor with declarative formatting ON / OFF . The editor should be smart enough to recognize tag values for formatting as some piece of code may need time to time formatting some may not.

I've added some stuff to the plugin last few days, it's probably worth doing a checkout :) (documentation in implementation files, generate documentation for a whole file)

MariusG, oops, this undocumented tag slightly crashed design ;) DrGreg, yeah you should use "a" tag to make it working.

Showing external pages still doesn't work for me .. related thread here: http://developer.symbian.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6340

Antonio - Thanks for the reply... and bloody clever on the Qt developer's part. again, thanks - greg

Thanks.

Try running master: That has a great class browser contributed by Denis Mingulov:-) Unfortunately I do not think that this code can be backported to 2.0/2.1 since it uses the C++ engine which had quite some improvements since the 2.0/2.1 branch was made. I think that is not the same class browser shown at the link you provided though. So maybe that one was ported to 2.0? I do not know who wrote that plugin, so I can't tell, sorry.

Thank you. I have issued a wishlist bug.

Bingo!!! That was the solution. Thank you very much for your help :O)

Creator 2.0 should only show those version control entries that are relevant for the current project. So the perforce entry should show up once you have a project open which is managed by perforce. Is that is not the case then you "should report a bug":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/.

thank you for your help, in the "bugreport" if everything written thats importen for this problem. solved

"Bugreport added":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-1896

[quote author="DrMaboule" date="1279318875"]I fact you could declare more than one variable using this code: QObject *pParent = NULL, *pParent2 = NULL; // Two pointer But is différent from QObject *pParent = NULL, pParent; // One pointer and a none pointer object. This is something I don't do anyway. I would call this a code smell on its own. [/quote] [quote] QObject pParent : The variable is a pointer on a objet of type QObject. QObject is not a class but a pointer on a class. The variable is a pointer, so * should be next the variable. [/quote] You are right, QObject* is not a class, but a pointer to a class. But it is atype. [quote] Don't you agreed? [/quote] Obviously no, but it is a matter of taste. I'll agree to Tobias Hunger that you should be consistent to the code at hand and for my code it's T* name lyuts thank you for the info.
