Am I the only one with issues on basic functionality of Qt Design Studio?
-
Hello everyone,
I'm coming from using Qt Widgets -> .QML. I was offput initially by Qt Design Studio and now I'm finally diving in about a year later. Below are my issues that are still prevalent:
- Can't drag and drop files within the File System on the left.
- Right clicking and "Add New" is not intuitive with adding a directory, these are separate. It would be much easier if I could do right click > add new > .ui/directory. It would also declutter the right click menu and remove the process of needing a wizard for the .ui file.
- Error messages require you to use the right click -> copy instead of letting the text be highlightable.
- You can't copy and paste the output, it's hidden behind an image or something.
- Restructuring a folder is a headache. I cant just move files in file explorer and have it recognize the changes in DS. I need to manually go through a wizard each time to create a new .ui file in the location and then copy and paste the code. Then delete the old files.
- The Figma-> DS could be better. Maybe a wizard that will let me finetune state naming conventions. I have less imput here.
- General instability.
Most of this is just basic usage. I'm not sure how new this tool is but I can't imagine I'm the first person to vent these frustrations. Sometimes it feels like more work than it's worth. Coming back a year later, these issues are still prevalent. I want to like this, it's just hard with the setbacks.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
The forum is not the best place to discuss these issues as it's mainly a user forum.
You might want to check the bug report system to see if there's already something that matches your issues. If not, you could consider opening feature requests regarding the points you are mentioning.
