[DevQt] New versions, feature requests and bug reports

[fullmetalcoder]

It's not Qt. It's C++ and I can't believe you were able to dereference a random pointer on your system everytime you started the application

As weird as it can seem it worked! And it comes from Qt because it's Qt that used the non initialized pointer, not my app!!!

AFAIK the limit was changed to 300kB. Besides, you can always send a patch (diff) or only upload modified files. Using some better compressor than zip or reducing the size of icons is also an option.

That's right damn it!!! (sorry, private joke...)
I didn't noticed, thanks a lot!!!

What about a better compressor? I tried .rar but it only saved a few kb and not everybody has a decompressor for .rar files
BTW if you know a better, and as universal, compressor please tell me!

What about putting new versions on berlios.de more often?
Then posting links from here to berlios?

Well 0.2.1 (or 0.2.0 as the app called it self, or 0 as the resulting file is called ) looks promising.

One question though, will I be able to compile a single C++ file and run it, like a hello world program or should everything be in projects?

I will try to use it more as soon as I can change the font size in the editing window to something that is 400% larger. (on my linux box)

Sorry, compilation isn't implemented yet but single file comilation will be possible.
It will come with version 0.3.x!

Font settings should come soon but, well, they're not the part I'm focused on!

Hi,

I tested DevQt and found a small bug for the Explorer window (devdoc.cpp). Is it better to send a patch file or do you prefer to get these things here? In this case it was a tiny fix but what if I have more fixes? I've registred on BerliOS so that I now have the possibility to add patches (user KjellKod)

Anyhow: If explorer window was moved & docked to the right, and you then chose "Place on right" the (right click in explorer top) then you got both "Place on right" and "Place on left" as active, ref: attached picture. Fix: in the DevDoc constructor

if ( area & 3 )
	{
		allowedAreasActions->addAction(allowLeftAction);
		allowedAreasActions->addAction(allowRightAction);
                areaActions->addAction(leftAction);
                areaActions->addAction(rightAction);
                 leftAction->setChecked(true);  // This line is new. Setting default

if ( area & 3 )
	{
		allowedAreasActions->addAction(allowLeftAction);
		allowedAreasActions->addAction(allowRightAction);
                areaActions->addAction(leftAction);
                areaActions->addAction(rightAction);
                 leftAction->setChecked(true);  // This line is new. Setting default

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It seems that the automatic 'Place on right', 'Place on left' when moving and docking the explorer does not work but I have not looked at why yet. This post is more of a test for me to get into the Open Source way of thinking since I am yet not part of any project

There are quite a few bugs in the menus and action options, afaict. For example, Close All doesn't close projects, Save All is an enabled option in the File menu even if nothing is open in the workspace or editor (it's enabled even when you first run the program), and there's a few other bugs that I commented on in the BerliOS forum for the project.

Send unified patches (diff -u) to the patches section of the site. No direct link as of today, but I will do my best to add direct links to the pacthes page supplied by Berlios. (goto the download page, and then choose the patches link)

Please run the svn from the root of the project, is possible from an svn checkout.

BTW:
Mandrake sux, Galaxy more

Hi,

I have downloaded 0.2.1 and made vc project file from .pro file. When i compile the whole thing i get an error message which says that QtGuid.lib was not found. My lib folder contains QtGuid4.lib and not the one mentioned above. I tried renaming the file and also changing the properties of the project, but both did not help.

Can someone pls help me get this running?

Thanks a lot.

[elcuco]

Are you using Qt4? it seems like you are trying to compile against Qt3.

P.S.
Check the svn trunk, we fixed some oopses.

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

I checked my project properties and path. They all have the path C:\Qt\4.1.0\.. The problem is that i have QtGuid4.lib and QtCored4.lib int my lib folder whereas the project while compiling is trying to search QtGuid.lib and QtCored.lib.

Pls help

Thanks

you are trying to link a debug version of the libraries.

remove debug from the *.pro file, or rebuild qt4 with debug information.

It is your app which passes an invalid pointer to Qt routines, Qt just dereferences it using C++ "->" operator, so it is strictly a C++ issue. If you had zeroed the pointer at the beginning of the constructor, like you should, Qt would behave correctly (but with an unexpected result).

What about a better compressor? I tried .rar but it only saved a few kb and not everybody has a decompressor for .rar files
BTW if you know a better, and as universal, compressor please tell me!

Use bzip2. It has much better compression ratios than zip. Or tune the zip compressor to use the best strength available. And reduce the size of images. You can get rid of that .qm file too. It can be generated during compilation from .ts file.
