Is there a "CONFIG-=debug" statement in your plugin.pro?

No.

No.

Hmm... you're using wwWidgets 0.9.6? Strange... A... true... the fix was made after 0.9.6 was released. Add the entry and see if it helps.

When I use a qwwfilechooser I would like to get a signal whenever the editing of the path is finished, because I have to set a directory variable in an included class, which can not access the widget itself.
Is this possible?

QLineEdit::editingFinished()

Wysota,

Any plan changing your wwWidgets licence to LGPL ?

If not, the following is obsolete:

Licensing

wwWidgets is available under dual licence (just like Qt itself) – GPL for Open Source development and Commercial licence for other users. If you want to purchase a commercial licence, please contact me by sending an email to wwwidgets<at>wysota.eu.org.

[wysota]

It's not obsolete. It's not up to date at most

I'm not planning to change the licence. I didn't sell a single commercial licence so I imagine interest in using my work in closed source projects is marginal. Thus I don't see the point to switch to LGPL.

but some ppl must be using your code in commercial apps they just dont tell.

They don't care about the licence, so changing the licence would be no change for them at all. And I still hope there are decent people in the world.

This is a pretty good collection,
Very surprising nobody bought a commercial license.

If I was doing this I would switch to LGPL + Donations (for the host).

If you help someone to develop a commercial product he will much likely contribute / donate afterward.

GPL is no good for paying the rent.

I didn't receive a single donation as well And so didn't QtCentre although I'm sure it helps many people.

[bunjee]

Helping ?

That's the single most useful Qt community site.

[bunjee]

I didn't receive a single donation.

It's because you have a commercial thinking:
"Pay now, use after."

What works with LGPL is:
"Use now, make profit, pay after."

As for receiving no donations for QtCentre, I find this shocking.

[wysota]

It's because you have a commercial thinking:
"Pay now, use after."

The package is dual licenced. You can "try now" (GPL), "pay later", "make money afterwards" (commercial).

As for receiving no donations for QtCentre, I find this shocking.

Well... I won't comment on that

These widgets are very nice. Something like QwwFileChooser should totally be included in Qt, I use my own for almost every app.

A widget I'd like to see is one from KDE, similar to QwwClearLineEdit, see pictures from Amarok in attachment.

Basically it's a LineEdit with a clear button, (optional) label and an (optional) extra button on the right, the LineEdit displays useful help-text in color similar to background. When you click into the LineEdit the help-text disappears and you can write in it like usual -- you can't interact with the help-text, it just gets out of the way as soon as the LineEdit gets focus. If you leave the LineEdit empty the help-text reappears when the widget loses focus. Very slick .

[bunjee]

Well... I won't comment on that

Where's the donate button on QtCentre Home ?

[wysota]

Hmm... I can't find the link directly on the home page (maybe it vanished during some cleanup or I'm just too tired to notice it), so here is a direct link:

http://www.qtcentre.org/foundation-donation
There is no link to paypal but if you use the address on the page mentioned, the paypal account is assigned to it. Of course you can use bank transfer as well.

BTW. This is highly offtopic.

actually it works this way.... a poor junior programmer is assigned to code a small module (a widget for example), as the thumb rule.. we all go to google to see if we are reinventing the wheel.. now he finds some code in internet which is exactly or similar to the requirment... now this junior programmer (in fact junior/senior doesn't matter).. modifies/copies the code and submit the weekly status report to his manager..

the point is, for very small libraries, one should never expect a return.

[wysota]

It doesn't always work like that. In our company we're paying attention to licencing schemes.

[nish]

hmm.. i thought you were a freelancer... may be i have not checked the wysota's blog for a long time..

Cool, you seems to be biggest victim of project leaders.
On topic: If you will possess too many constraint for using a technology then people will not use that. So the popularity is main concern when someone gives something for free.
Even some companies have been using free version of Qt itself for commercial apps, so whats the expectation for qt apps. Now Nokia want to spread the Qt so it came up with LGPL license.
