The Lounge

Hello, the new Forum UI and the core was upgraded today by Qt.

You can check the these 2 topics in Announcement here

https://forum.qt.io/topic/155774/forum-update-may-2nd/33 https://forum.qt.io/topic/156456/forum-updated-to-nodebb-3-7-4/2

If you find any issue, feel free to comment on the topic.

@AnneRanch said in suggestion...:

After I open one I can no longer access / go back to my post I have invested my time in ...

Close and re-open your web browser. Then, load this forum.

The draft of your post should auto-appear on your screen. Does this work for you?

@Valso 10,6GB when idle? There is something seriously off with qBittorent. As such shouldnt be reported here, because, as @Christian-Ehrlicher noted, this has nothing to do with Qt itself.

@Nico-Vega Try to use another mirror, see https://wiki.qt.io/Online_Installer_4.x (at the bottom)

FWIW, put me in the camp that prefers meaningful slot names. Slots are functions that presumably do something valuable; what they do should be suggested in the function name, as it is with any other function.

@rino19ny Hi rino.According to the best way to learn Qt is through books.You know that Qt uses both c++ and QML, hence they are books for widgets and books for QML.I would like to recommend you some books i tutorial i used to learn Qt:

c-gui-programming-with-qt-4-2ndedition

[Trolltech]Qt4 Examples And Tutorials

9781786467126-MASTERING_QT_5

qt5_cadaques

Qt_Quick_Game_Programming_1_0

Advanced Qt Programming

Foundations of Qt Developement

Hands-On-GUI-Programming-with-CPP-and-Qt5

I have read all this books and let me assure you that they are quite poweful

@Ronel_qtmaster said in Pushing to GitHub:

I am using Git with https.Never though of switching to SSH though

You may know more than I. Does/doesn't this mean that every time you want to use it you have to log in (providing credentials) once (per reboot)? You might do that login in a web browser, I don't know? Once I was advised to set up ssh (with that credentials file stored somewhere hidden down inside my home directory) I never get prompted to enter them again, anything that wants credentials just automatically takes it from there. I am glad I moved from https to ssh, even though I forget the details.

Something to think about: either your ssh key is not protected by a password or it's unlocked because it's configured in your system keychain (or equivalent). If the former, I would advise to reconsider as if the file gets accessed without your knowledge, everything you have access to with it will be as well to that other person.

@jeremy_k said in looking for agnostic embedded forum:

Implementation agnostic discussions tend to be very theoretical.

I would't say "theoretical". I mean, there are standard ways to do things in the embedded world, regardless of who the vendor is. But yes, the question is how much abstraction crap vendors layer over top of of the basic EE operations, and then call it their "innovation".

For ARM achitecture you're still always going to be doing bit logic operations on memory mapped registers.

@andr Ah ok good to know. From what I've gathered, the bottom line is that the forum only supports Markdown and no HTML?

@SimonSchroeder : "have support built in for GIT as the only VC" - I am not sure what the "only" here refers to, as there's also support for others, including Perforce (and Subversion, and CVS, and..), but I guess it's fair to say that git currently looks like the winner in the VC arena in this part of the world.

@younicoin Yes i think you have to declare and register the Meta Type BitcoinUnits::Unit. check this https://forum.qt.io/topic/142878/qvariant-unknown-user-type

About six years later, same issue. Unable to register because confirmation email is not sent. I see that the last person registered in January so I suppose this is not just me having this problem. Used some problem reporting form on their website, no reply either. If anyone is in contact with their staff, could you notify them about the issue with their website?

So far, I have only used the LGPL version of Qt. However, I believe that nothing in the commercial license is forcing you to disclose the use of Qt. It most likely depends on the Qt license they are using if they are doing something illegal. FFmpeg would be a different story, though, as most of the library is only available under the GPL or LGPL.

If this is "just beer talk", then I truly wonder why I get summoned ...

@AnneRanch said in another goofy "feature ":

@kshegunov Yes - it must be hard for linker to find the function in #ifdef BYPASS ...#endif block.
That is UNUSED code block...

Indeed it must be hard for the linker, since the linker has no notion of source code, nor of #ifdef and alike preprocessor tokens. I think I've mentioned before, that it's truly beneficial to know C++ before claiming to use it, or a library for it.

In any case, the linker sees the prototype of the function (which is its name, also called a symbol) and it has the singular task of linking all calls to that function to the place that symbol is defined (at low level). There's no source at this point, no preprocessor, no compiler or w/e. The linker is the same machinery for all languages on a platform.

Even if it was used code block - how did it get placed there ?

This question is for you to answer. I'm certainly not going to ask my crystal ball.

@AnneRanch Luckily there are billions of cakes :P

Perhaps a preview toggle would be useful as to prevent clutter while choosing layout while still having the option to see the result before confirming. I would recommend using icons instead of words for the preview toggle and confirmation button as the idea's theme is about order and aesthetics.

@AnneRanch

In general, subdirs work very well in Qt. There are hardly any known issues, especially given the fact that 4000-5000 lines is actually a small project, not a large one.
To force-clear solved errors from the editor, Build->Rescan Project helps.

You have posted various topics around this issue already and you got help from many contributors in this forum. Sadly, in most cases you just stopped communicating, when your supporters asked for information, specific code or local tests.

Since you are an opensource community member, I strongly recommend to stay responsive to other community members who volunteer to help you. Ignoring questions aiming at a solution, leaving posts abandoned and asking the same question in a new one - is discouraged.

To refresh your memory, and as a reference for others: here are your earlier posts related to the topic.
