Qt Design Studio

I wonder if you haven't simply found a bug with Qt Design Studio.

Please do not use the Android kit.

You can use the UI viewer to preview applications on Android.

This is explaiend here: https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/qt-ui-viewer.html.

This feature will get a major overhaul in Qt Design Studio 4.7.

So I found the problem if anybody has the same problem:

You need to build the module as a plugin, i.e. a dynamic .so library (or .dll on Windows). Then use the import path of the folder containing the .so, qmldir and .qmltypes files, not the folder itself!

e.g. for me it works with the Qt Creator build output folder: "/home/tvanbesi/Desktop/Qt-sandbox/Sandbox-Debug/qml"

How did you fix it?

@James-Gallegos It works, Thanks

@Marzonek said in Qt design studio file from Windows to Raspberry Pi:

i created a Design in Qt design studio on my Windows because i need a GUI for a Project in my school.

Hi,

did you wrote an app or only the .ui / *.qml file(s) in QtDesigner / Qt Design Studio?

Is it possible to run the file i created on my Windows to run on my Pi?

There is not such thing as "running the GUI file". You need to use it in an app with Qt.

You need to create an app, with or without QML and then compile it for your Raspberry Pi device.

One possibility how to proceed is shown in this Video here.
Use the latest versions and not the ones shown in the video though.
If you already made a QML design, you can copy the code to re-use it, as working with Qt is platform independent.

you can write:

[DoNotAskAgain]
StudioSplashScreen=true

into the user settings file under ~/.config/QtProject/QtDesignStudio.ini
but please also create a bugreport with your system data, distri + which window manager is used

Hi, and welcome!

@Newton4this said in Link License to Qt Design Studio Install:

I am currently unable to drag and drop files

Can you please clarify what kind of files you tried to drag and drop? And what license you have (if any)?

@Henning-G said in Docking Property Editor in Qt Designer itself:

Yes, Qt Designer is part of Qt Creator. Qt Design Studio ist a standalone tool (based on Qt Creator) that is used to design QtQuick UIs instead of widget based UIs.

Small nitpick:
Qt Designer is a standalone tool that predates Qt Crestor but its functionality has been integrated in Qt Creator so you can directly create widget based UIs within Qt Creator.

@JonB said in accessing several .ui files in python:

You sound like you are doing Option B: Loading it directly. If you do this you will not be able to access all your widgets so easily. I would always recommend the alternative, Option A: Generating a Python class. It's a touch more work --- you have to run a pyside6-uic tool step to produce Python code from the .ui in a generated .py file (I think Creator can run this for you each time) --- but in return you get proper coding-time support for all your widgets.

An interesting thing I've noticed lately:
We had a similar topic in the German section where OP used the QUiLoader/"direct" approach, but then struggled with (as you also mentioned) accessing and connecting the child- and sub-Widgets from the UI-based QWidget constructed by QUiLoader.
I've also recommended using the uic tool to convert the .ui to a .py class, esp. when you are a beginner.

However, I was told that at some other place (Python forum) OP read about "the Python community" condemning this "generator" approach, since it violates some principles of interpreted languages... :D

Yeah, sure... :D
I'm not a Python-hater, or a Python-fanboy, but without already popular frameworks providing Python-bindings, nobody would use Python in these cases... the whole community profits. So you might have to accept it's downsides, which come with the fact that these frameworks weren't intented for Python-like languages and are only usable through bindings.

Try to write your own platform independent, holistic GUI framework like Qt from scratch using Python only... Good luck with that ;-)

Solved by updating importPaths in .qmlproject and creating a NEW qmldir file in the actual folder (PROJECT_NAME/imports/MODULE_NAME/qmldir) with the following properties:

module RadialBar RadialBar 1.0 RadialBar.qml

Move the plugin code into PROJECT_NAME/imports/MODULE_NAME/ and call it using import RadialBar 1.0.

Then restart Qt Design Studio.

The cmake export only works for Qt 6 based projects, since Qt 5 does not support the CMake API used.
For Qt 5 you can export a .qrc file and follow those instructions (Converting into qmake Projects):

True TableView and TreeView tooling is missing - create a report that you expect it at https://bugreports.qt.io/

somehow I oversaw that - 4.5 will have it, next time just create a bug report and we will see it earlier - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QDS-12654
