That would be very cool :-). By the way, I visited IBC in Amsterdam today and chatted with the people at the Foundry stand. Nuke and Mari are Python-Qt apps that are used all over the film industry. They also depend on Wacom support, and they told me Autodesk does depend on it for Maya as well. I wonder if those companies have commercial licenses with Digia... I mean, there clearly are more important users of Wacom support in Qt than me with Krita. -- Boudewijn Rempt http://www.valdyas.org, http://www.krita.org, http://www.boudewijnrempt.nl _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
