Thanks. I'm actually not that familiar with QtIrreco, but it was important to me to be able to have more than simple push buttons. Also, it will be possible to use the same remote with QML aswell as widgets (I'll be working on Harmattan and Symbian versions soon-ish), though in some cases it may make sense to tweak the layout a bit.

Less bloat is better, but since it's important that remotes can be created as easily as possible, convenience is also a factor, so enabling the use of existing LIRC config files is attractive. However, if a Pierogi library was available that already provided configs for the remotes that people want to use, that could be a good alternative. I haven't put that much thought into it yet (though I have had a look at the Pierogi code to see how this stuff works ), as I'll be implementing the bluetooth support first (I want a BT mouse and keyboard remote ).
