What Qt apps or libraries would you love to see?

Paul Colby

Thanks guys, some good ideas already :) I'll take a closer look at each of them.

@Paul-Colby If you are interested in Qt and network things, you might be interested in revived QtWebKit project:

I'd love to see improved Qt3D docs.

Amen, brother! :D

I would love to see three things:

"Ch -- an embeddable C/C++ interpreter, C and C++ scripting language" scripting interface
lib3DS interface into Qt3D
An official QtUSB interface to manage USB devices

One more...
64-bit MinGW distribution

Here is one... I would like to see QGraphicsView modified:

To have the ability to completely turn off scroll bars. Yes you can "turn them off" but the view still manages them. I would like just a basic view I can control the transformation of zoom/pan/rotate without scrollbar management interfering.

I have done this by doing everything in the scene and using the view as a husk. But, I then have to control the drawing which is cumbersome and sometime the view still kicks in a few artifacts for me.

So basically I want true view. A way to see the scene that is just a graphics window. I may look at doing this to see if I can implement a simpler QGraphicsView!

+1 for "Ch -- an embeddable C/C++ interpreter"
That would be pretty cool. Also integrated into Creator :)

CERN's Cling is an open source alternative:

I'm personally prefer to see a good QtMultimedia module, as it is often used by us (but, still is buggy and soo slow). :)

An official QtUSB interface to manage USB devices

Heh.. I think, it is impossible in principle, as it required the signing of INF/CAT files on Windows to use "standard winusb driver" anyway (if you want to use WinUSB features).

At least can be something like official QtHid, but not more. :)

I'll chip in here.
While not a new app or library, the Thymio open source robot for educational use could use some help.

The code lives on Github:

It would be great to have an official component (widget plugins) store / market place in the cloud, with qt creator integration.

@Wieland this comes up on occasion, but it never gets to a high enough priority to be taken forward :(

inqlude is the best place, and it has most of the needed framework in place to work. Main missing part would be integration with Qt Creator.
