    @AnneRanch said in ...are you sure ?:

    This is a thing of the past - most deletions are recoverable

    I, for one, don't use the trash can. And sometimes, especially on Linux, I use the command line instead. None of my deletions are recoverable (unless you mean some special software that digs up my data from the grave in a very tedious and nerve wrecking way).

    I am not entirely sure, but I believe macOS just puts it in the bin without asking for confirmation. Or maybe hitting OK is so ingrained in me that I don't notice anymore...

    @Axel-Spoerl I need a break from coding... I do appreciate your comments.
    Here are mine.
    I am of an opinion that most forum frequent participants expect "servant kind of attitude' when one ask for help,
    hence starting with "sorry (for me bothering you with my post ) ... may work to poster benefits.
    They acquire what is commonly refer to as " control freak " position - they are the owners of the forum...
    I see it all the time when posts start with " I am a beginner , so be nice ..." . Folks who start their text that way
    got such attitude from reading the forum - not from reading the "posting rules" - they got it from real experience.

    The forum I got kicked off has a very clear "posting rule " to the effect
    "... this forum is to help coders , not to make them feel stupid ...."
    unfortunately few "owners " of the forum missed that rule.

    @Christian-Ehrlicher You are absolutely correct - it takes few seconds between "Runs" and that definitely screws up the SYSTEM synchronization and catches off guard ( sleeping ?)
    the usual message " ...your source file is outdated..." .
    I have not seen that message lately , I suspect such error notification may have be intentionally deleted
    ...it creates traffic ....

    PS
    The (standard ? ) concept of "dirty file " - based on time of file creation has been around since DOS 1.0
    it SHOULD work in ANY QT - not just 6.02

  • what is with ">" ?

    @mzimmers You can explore virtualization software that allows you to create and manage virtual machines on your laptop, giving you more control over your development environment.

    It typically means that the IP address you are using to download and install Qt Creator has been blocked or restricted by the website or server.

    The exact amount of virtualization overhead you will experience depends on several factors, including the resources allocated to the virtual machine (such as memory and CPUs), the complexity of the guest operating system, and the workload being performed in the virtual machine.

    Hi,

    From a quick search, there's nothing native for NodeBB but there is a plugin that might help.

    What do you think @ollipuu ?

    @JonB said in Qt thread usage:

    Ubuntu, GNOME, and I never know whether it's Xorg or Wayland!).

    Personally I'd strip the guts out of it to make sure that wayland crap is thoroughly disabled and then throw gnome out the nearest air-lock...then run my test under a minimalist window manager: ie twm, fvwm, openbox, etc.
