mscim and qt entry fields
 
If you try to use mscim inside a qt application, it doesn't display any suggestions of what is typed, in other words, mscim its not popped up.

So my question is, why? is because of qt 4.5 ? is gonna be fixed on the "official" 4.6 ?, it's related to HIM or maybe mscim ?.

It's really sad that i can't enter japanese text on toMOTko or any other flashcard applications because most of them ( or all ) are written in qt.

Can't help you with your technical issue; however, the toMOTko file format is pretty easy (it's XML). I usually make the glossaries on my desktop and then transfer them to toMOTko.

I've asked users of QStarDict (that is also a Qt-4.6 application, I think) if they have the same problem (see this thread). If so, the issue is probably related to Qt. If not, it's related to toMOTko. If that's the case, I will try to fix it ASAP.

Have you already experienced such an issue with another Qt application?

Oh i see, that's an interesting workaround, thanks.
Still, thinking as average user, i don't think the user wants to transfer the file everytime he updates the glossary. I mean, i can use pygtkeditor to edit the file or even vi, but the average user...don't think so.

So, i think this thread is more "How can we improve the experience of typing CJK in applications that use Qt"

Yeah, i have the same problem with every application written in Qt, so, as you said it's related to Qt, when i try to change the input method ( ctrl + space ) it toggles to predictive text.

Maybe it's something going on with HIM, mscim, gtk.immodules.

For me it's important to find an answer, i wanna write an application for learning kanji and i was hoping to write it using Qt, but if this cannot be fixed, i will use GTK.

Regards.

Same observation here. I tried to use MSCIM with Simple QT Editor, can't switch to Chinese input anyway.

I asked firstfan, the author of mscim, about it. This is his reply:

MSCIM is ported from SCIM project. SCIM has both Gtk immodule impelement and Qt immodule implement. But Gtk immoudule is easier to port to Maemo platform. I've tried to port the SCIM Qt immodule, but it's not done yet. And, I'm not familiar with Qt.
The SCIM Qt module implement has already been added to MSCIM svn, but it's not compilable yet. You can get the code here: http://code.google.com/p/scim-for-ma...im-qtimm-0.9.4

Pretty much explains everything..

I fired a bug in the tracker to keep track of the progress and be notified when it's done. See http://code.google.com/p/scim-for-ma...s/detail?id=28

Re: mscim and qt entry fields
 
i'm not sure if anyone's still following this thread, but i've found a solution. mscim works with Qt with mscim-bridge-client-qt4 installed. i tried it with Yappari.

That's a good news. Anyone else can confirm it?
