Where to post suggestions for Qt Creator?
 
I've been using Qt Creator + MADDE for few months now and I really like it. However, I do have some suggestions on how to improve it and I think I'm not the only one who may have some ideas. Therefore I was wondering where could I post suggestions? Should I start a Brainstorm? If I would, would someone from the Qt Creator team read it? Or does someone have a better suggestion?


Cheers :)

another thread which begs an improvement of this tool :). Maybe you can share ideas.
brainstorming it will ensure you will have enough material for either somebody from Nokia to have a look or for you to send it to the right channel whenver you find it.

I dont use this tool so not making any useful comments :).

good luck !

How about: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG
That's the official bugtracker.

http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/pages/Home

You could get in touch with the Qt Creator developers at #qt-creator (Freenode)?

Thanks. I already created a new suggestion: :)

Add portrait and landscape mode in a single .ui file

I haven't seriously looked at portrait mode for my app yet, however, I saw it by accident on my device once when the whole thing got stuck in portrait mode. The only things that looked decent were the browser and my Qt app which adapted automatically to that mode.

Do you use layouts in your app?

just FYI : QT apps dont adapt automatically, you need to design your GUI layouts appropriately to be displayed in both oreintations.
Maybe its just the default layout you have now works fine in both orientations :)
I normally maintain 2 different layouts, 1 for portrait and 1 for landscape.

Yes, I use layout files. See what my app looks like in portrait mode. It is true that it lends itself for portrait mode. I've done absolutely nothing to layout or code to 'enable' this portrait mode.

Do you use a form designer or do you add the widgets in the code?

I add widgets in my code, and assign them to layouts I specifically design for both orientatins.I dont use the tool being discussed, so no form designer.
I know its old school , but some habits die hard :p.

I wonder if formdesigner has this feature to auto align( *EDIT* with proper display/usability ) , would be difficult I think based on how complex the GUI is.

Hmm... This is the comment I got for my suggestion:

Quote:
There are no plans to do further develop Qt Designer for embedded design. Qml/Quick should be used instead.
I have no idea how to use QML in my code and I don't even know what Quick is. I also wonder if there is a designer for QML?

Wait for the soon to be released QtCreator 2.0 and a lot will become clearer.

BTW, you are not allowed to do anything while waiting ;)

Well, you could checkout the current master branch of QtCreator from gitorious if you feel adventurous.

The 2.0 alpha of QtCreator has just been released: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010...ator-20-alpha/

So now, if you want to learn about the exciting new stuff, you don't have to be as adventurous as before.

Looks quite interesting. Now what I would need is some kind of tutorial on how to use QML. For example, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to connect objects to slots like in UI designer. Or maybe I have understood everything incorrectly.

Re: Where to post suggestions for Qt Creator?
 
There is a bit of documentation for QML at this site: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7-snapshot/declarativeui.html

Also have a look at this blog entry (with video): http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010...at-is-bauhaus/

More to come.
