How to handle a scalefactor and Designer together

petzold

Hi Guys,

have a question to QT-Quick 4.8

Most of my programming i do in the designer, normally i have a background-picture and positoning my objects one by one with drag and drop. So for me it is very easy and fast to position all my objects.

Now to the problem. If the qml is runnning, it is possible that the size of the picture is changing. The picture is implemented in that way

Image {
   id: main
   width: root.width
   height: root.height
   anchors.top: root.top
   anchors.left: root.left
   source: "images/background_1024_768.png"
   fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectCrop
}

now i'm looking for a way that i can change my x and y value of the items with something like a scale factor.
at the moment i do it manually with:

property double scaleX: 1135/main.paintedWidth

and than in the element:

Item {
   x: 507 / main.scaleX
   y: 428
}

But if i do it in that way i cant move it anymore in the designer because the x-value is not "free" anymore.
I'm looking for a possiblity to move the item in the designer and have the scale factor at the same time.
i don't want to use Repeater, Grids, Columns or Rows

Is there a way to do that?
