What am I missing? Unresolved externals

[Paul Drummond]

Well... one might expect that this should be placed in different parts of the documentation too, but you can't say it isn't explained

Okay, sorry I missed that but it is hidden away! Besides, when writing plugins there is no need to ever look up the documentation for QLibrary - this information should be mentioned in the plugin documentation.

Anyway, the Trolls are responsible for the documentation, so you should ask them, not users of this forum.

Come on, seriously! The Trolls are also responsible for the code, should I reserve code questions for them also?

Anyway, thankyou for pointing me to the documentation in QLibrary - that's all I was after!

What Jacek meant was that you should ask them (and not us) why they did or didn't place anything in the documentation. We're not sightseers, Trolls don't tell us about everything they do

And about code questions -- yes, if you want to know why they did something in a particular way, it's best to ask them. And some of the Trolls are present on this forum (although I fear none of the core programmers, but I might be wrong), so it shouldn't be too hard They are friendly people and do answer questions...

We answer mostly questions "what to do to achieve that" or "why doesn't it work". We often don't have the knowledge to answer why a particular design was chosen by TT.

When you say I should ask them do you mean post to qt-interest or email the trolls directly?

If you mean ask them directly then that would be a private discussion and others wouldn't benefit from any solution or advice the trolls gave me. By voicing oppinion on this public forum others are able to gain from the advice, progress, etc.

If you mean ask qt-interest, then fine - I will. I can't access qt-interest from work that's all and I prefer internet forums such as QtCentre but I didn't realise you couldn't voice oppinion on this forum - I won't do it again

Anyway, this is getting off-topic. Sorry if I've upset anyone or asked the wrong questions.

It's your choice. Mailing TT directly will probably yield a more complete answer, especially if you're lucky and ask a proper person

Yes, of course. But nobody said you can't post results of that conversation here.

Of course you can express your opinions on the forum. Did anyone forbid you from doing that? We just said we don't know why TT prefers one solution over another. On the other hand you didn't exactly express a neutral opinion. You were complaining TT didn't do something and said TT should do it without checking if they already did.

Anyway, this is getting off-topic.

I assure you there are threads which are way off more offtopic than this one

Sorry if I've upset anyone or asked the wrong questions.

I'm sure you didn't upset anyone. And there are no wrong questions (although some may be very trivial). Jacek just said you were asking wrong people

I understand what you are saying but if I were to follow your advice I would never use this forum again! I should just email TT when I have a problem, then post the results to this forum! How do I know if my questions are inappropriate for this forum or not? If I ask them here and you guys say "Sorry, no idea - ask TT", then that's exactly what I will do

Anyway, forget it - I totally understand your point - I just like having the last word
