[Qt-creator] Project -insert cool name here-
Hi, I would like to propose a community effort to enhance the API of Qt Creator. I can see several areas where the community can help Nokia developers. Coding style I was a little frustrated with my first big merge request, when I had to make all those little changes to follow the coding style, whereas the existing code is not following it: * use of m_ for class members * use of d-pointer for exported classes * use class instead of struct I can also see some inconsistency, I'm sure I can find 5 different way to create a d-pointer (private class inside the class, private class outside, append Private to the class name, just Private, struct, class...). Documentation == The documentation of exported is sometimes missing, or incomplete. I'm talking about the code documentation, for plugin developers, not the documentation of Qt Creator. API == The API is sometime strange, I have two examples in mind I came across recently: * it looks like exporting the plugin class is a bad idea, but the ProjectExplorerPlugin is exported whereas other plugins are using handler/manager/whatever * the openEditorAt method is a static method in BaseTextEditor, whereas the EditorManager has openEditor and openEditorWithContents Maybe there are good reason for those choices, it just feels strange. There are also some lack for the plugin developers. I know that the policy is to not export anything until it's used, but some method seems so useful that they should be exported, so the developer can use them directly (changing the Qt Creator code can be discouraging). Some example: * there's no method to get the different panes * I'm biased here but I think switchHeaderSource can be really really useful (see my MR #188) The goal of the project is to: * collect all these (I'm thinking of a wiki page on Qt DevNet) * discuss what should be done with the Nokia developers * propose some MR to enhance the code I totally understand that Nokia developers don't have time to polish the API, and need more features (Meego target, QML integration...), but it can't succeed without your help. What do you think? Cheers, Nicolas -- Nicolas Arnaud-Cormos | nicolas.arnaud-cor...@kdab.com | Software Engineer Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB, a KDAB Group company Tel.

If the '-'/'+' background was a slightly different colour, it would make it much easier to tell when the cursor is in the first column, instead of hitting 'delete' to see if it moved back one line.

For the moment, they are trying to make it awesome for Qt development, and working hard on the Qt Quick integration and also maemo/symbian/whatever new plateform needed by Nokia. At least that's what I'm understanding from an outside pov. But maybe it's at the community to create something, and not the other way around. I don't usually go visit Qt Centre, but they already have a wiki and a sub-forum for Qt tools (including Qt Creator). At Qtfr.org, we already have a sub-forum specific to Qt Creator. As a plugin developer, I would also love to see a plugin builder tools for Qt SDK. It's hard to create binaries for our plugins for a specific SDK (I don't have mac, I don't use any SDK, and on Windows you need VS2008 I think). Hope they'll have some time after Qt 4.7 to work on the community building ;) Cheers, Nicolas (No, the gitorious wiki is not enough.)

[Qt-creator] Script manager
Hi, I would like to create some simple scripts to do some repetitive tasks for my daily work, and I was thinking of creating a script plugin (where the user can access the current editor and the actionmanager for example). I'm seeing a script manager in the source code. Are you working on a script interface? Also, it looks like it's not use at all, is it work in progress or something else?

How cool would it be to add a new method declaration to a C++ header file and have Qt Creator add the method definition to the .cpp file automatically? Taking this a step further, you could edit an existing method declaration and the definition would be changed automatically. It would be a big time saver IMHO. I've coded a little plugin that does the 'almost automatic method definition creation' (not automatically, you need a shortcut : Ctrl+Shift+F2): http://gitorious.org/creator-plugins I just updated the code to the new RC (I just changed the dependency number), it's working for me but: * it doesn't detect using namespace foo; * it assumes that the C++ file exists * it puts the function definition at the end of the file, after the last one * it doesn't work with inline functions I would like to enhance it, unfortunately I don't see me working on it anytime before next year.

[Qt-creator] Qt Creator reference card
Hi all, At KDAB, we are using Qt Creator for our trainings for different reasons: * integrated in Qt SDK (easy to install) * multi-platfomrs * easy to use (in 5 mins people know how to use it) * Qt documentation is integrated The nice thing about Qt Creator is that you can do everything with the keyboard, no need to use the mouse. So we spent some time creating a reference card for our students (and for us too), and decided to make it available to everybody: http://kdab.net/qtcreator You'll find a reference card for Windows/Linux or Mac, in A4 or letter format. The reference card is for the last stable version (1.2.1), so you won't find the shortcuts introduced in 1.3.

Re: [Qt-creator] How to get your favourite feature into Qt Creator
On Wednesday 07 October 2009 13:54:20 Daniel Molkentin wrote: Hi, I see rising frustration about the lack of subjectively pressing features. This is understandable. However, let us try to find a positive approach to solve the issues. Let me start out by explaining our view: In spite of being Nokia (more precisely: being part of it), a seemingly huge company, our team does not have infinite resources to spend on this project. While we gladly pick up feedback in an unbeaurocratic way if possible, there is a limit to what we can do in this respect, since we have to commit to our roadmap. This does, however, not mean that your features must remain unimplemented. You can always contribute, as numerous people have already done. And if you feel like you have any obstacles in your way while developing on Qt Creator, like a lack of class documentation (which probably is one of the most pressing problems right now for external contributions) or understanding general design principles, please talk about it. If you have a joint interest in a particular feature with other people on this list, please try and develop it together. Gitorious has awesome team functionality: http://blog.gitorious.org/2009/05/09/weve-made-a-few-changes/ Enabling contributions from _everyone_ is one of the foremost reasons why Creator is Open Source instead of just closed-source Freeware: Giving you the power to get involved, no matter what our internal agenda looks like. So please make use of it. We will happily assist with any serious effort into either improving documentation or getting started with implementing your desired functionality into Qt Creator. If you have any questions, please follow up on this mail. Hi Daniel, Let me take this mail as a good starting point on how to contribute. You said that everyone can contribute, and it's true: * create an account on gitorious * clone qt-creator * do your change in your own clone, and then push on gitorious * do a merge request and after? I personally did this, and my merge request is still waiting after 22 days, without any answer (not to say that now I need to update the code, because of conflicts). I can understand that you don't have time, that my feature is only interesting for me, that my code is crap, I would be ok with an answer like: We don't add new feature untill 1.3 is released or this won't work, this is buggy as hell, but no answer _at all_ is really discouraging. Another example: I found a bug in the code, asked on the mailing list, Daniel Teske sent a patch to test, I tested it... and that's all. As far as I know, the patch is not applied and the bug is still here... discouraging. All the enthusiasm I had when I started coding on Qt Creator vanished, and I prefer to spend my spare time on something else, Qt Creator isn't fun for me anymore. Or maybe I'll work on external plugin and won't waste my time trying to do merge request (sometimes difficult, everything is not available for plugin developer). I know you all have a todo list longer that what you can handle in a life- time, it's the same for me, I just ask for more communication (and saying we don't have time, wait until 1.3' is not really time consuming). Also, it would be nice to have a view of your roadmap, even if things can change it would help us and avoid duplicating the work (/me needs scripts, is it planed or can I start to work on it?).

On the Project Management page, if you have many projects, you can't select the project using the keyboard. As soon as the last item is selected, and you press down, the slection go back on the first item... There's no way to select a project using the keyboard, I had to take the mouse. Tested with Qt 4.6 tp1, last Qt Creator master sources, on Linux. I tested the 4.5.2 version, and didn't see this bug. Also, I don't remember having this problem with a version from the start of this week. I've updated Qt Creator code today, and still have the issue: * create a new C++ Class * on the Project Management page, open the Project combobox (tab+space on the keyboard, or click with the mouse) * let the down key pressed You'll see the selection doing a loop, going back to the first item when it is on the last item. If I do it with pressing the down arrow several time, it scroll down one time and go back to the first item. It's really annoying, and it's the only combobox where I see this behavior. As a side note, I find the Projects configuration hard to read, it would be nice to have more obvious separation between sections.

[Qt-creator] Core::IFile::mimetype bug?
Hi, I'm playing with the code, and I find something strange. I'm trying to get the type of the file in the current editor (header or source). If I'm on a header file, and call the function file()-mimetype() in CPPEditor, it returns the string text/x-c++src. I would have expected text/x-c++hdr. If I do something like this: Core::ICore *core = Core::ICore::instance(); QFileInfo fi(file()-fileName()); const Core::MimeDatabase *mimeDatase = core-mimeDatabase(); const Core::MimeType mimeType = mimeDatase-findByFile(fi); const QString typeName = mimeType.type(); if (typeName == QLatin1String(CppTools::Constants::C_HEADER_MIMETYPE) || typeName == QLatin1String(CppTools::Constants::CPP_HEADER_MIMETYPE)) it's working. Is it a bug? What is the best way to know if a file open in an editor is a header or a source?
