I think Digia do have a commercial Qt version available for Windows 8. But I'am not sure the Metro style is supported.

Reminder

Doing a quick sniff around the web, it would appear that Imageshack is throwing that stuff up for certain countries and/or domains. Don't know the details. YMMV.

Thanks a lot Volker.

Most likely, what you are looking for is the "power management" section of your "system administration panel". Search the main menu for the control panel and look for the "power management" or "ACPI":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acpi section. Depending on your DM (Gnome, KDE, etc.) you will find it in a different place and with a different set of switches. I think it can be configured from the shell, as well, but I cannot tell you how. Ask the Ubuntu forum.

Elop is simply not answering them. All he says is ' some new work is going on '. It is Nokia's right to disclose the details at a time they seem fit for this. But I wonder why details about the next billion are kept secret. It has been a year since Nokia started saying Qt for next billion. But till now no official information regarding this. All we have is rumors like that in the above post.

Hello Sarah, I've just saw your message, if you're under a distributed environment you can employ a MAS-based architecture in order to define agents roles and tasks and thus define the agent organization and interactions. There are many methodologies (Ingenias, ALAADIN, Gaia, Adelfe, among others) that could be useful to define each aspect of the MAS. Nevertheless I think that Qt cannot be the best option to deploy all the MAS. However you can take Java as basis language and JADE or JADEX as MAS Java framework and thus define some JNI classes to connect Qt with Java and profit the best part of both worlds. Regards,

QT is basically part of the competition against Microsoft so they will try to keep it away from WP7 as long as they can. They are a highly proprietary corporation much like Apple. They'll break down eventually though and allow Qt. Unless, of course, if sales of Nokia Windows phones shoot through the roof, in that case they won't allow support of Qt on it. If the sales are dismal, they'll do everything they can to bring more developers to WP7. Same old story, different day. I don't understand the reasoning myself. Here we have Android with a huge share of the market and how did they get there? They give it away and make money indirectly. Works for them. Probably Meltemi will begin in feature phones and evolve as the hardware for feature phones becomes so fast and powerful and cheap that the Meltemi platform will look like a smart phone and since that is the largest market, it will dominate. Who knows?

Hi Ludde, actually, I ended up using a much simpler solution that does not involve QObject::connect(). It turned out that, thinking twice to my problem, it can be solved with "regular" Qt C++ code. I'm still working on it (in my freetime) and I hope I can show you some interesting code in a few weeks. CU PS: Qt is just fantastic. You just have to make a wish and it promptly supplies you with the required functionality. It's like Santa Claus...

Well in Digia blog they say "We have also already contributed some of the found Windows 8 development environment related issues to the Qt Project, and are looking forward to continue this co-operation." and "Digia intends to work actively in the Qt Project in order to create the Metro components for easy deployment of Qt applications on Windows 8." Let's wait and see :-)

I don't think that's possible, as the macro always expands to the current line. But you might use the preprocessor to simulate the behaviour. @ #define write(msg) writeLine(LINE, msg) void writeLine(int line, QString msg) { qDebug() << line << msg; } ... write("message"); // 9 "message" @

[quote author="Lukas Geyer" date="1327917726"] Whatever - it is most probably a good sign for all Qt developers, as we are a little closer to Qt on Windows Phone 7.[/quote] I agree. And I think this is connected to the Nokia and Microsoft union. Hope Qt will offer Windows Phone portability as now it is the case for Symbian. Seba84

:D Well, we're programmers. Can't go around pretending "qt-project" and "qt-community" strings are the same :P Anyway, cheers, and a good day to you all!
