[ANN] QtitanNavigationDesignUI 4 beta has been released!

[Big_Z]

Apparently, here we need to explain a little, the XML file is an intermediate link, which can always be regenerated from the Adobe XD template file using dctool.exe. For Qt, we provide a parser of this XML, which is compatible with the format generated by our toool dcmake.exe, parser can be compiled with Qt5 or Qt6. Along with this parser, there is a rendering mechanism compatible with QStyle. For example, you need to draw a push button. The button is drawn in AdobeXD with states - pressed, normal, mouse hovered or disabled. Then this button gets into XML and is parsed on the Qt side into a structure, which then draws the button at the time of the call QStyle::drawControl(QStyle::CE_PushButton);

How do dctool.exe and dcmake.exe differ in the process of creating and processing XML files, and why use both tools?

[Big_Z]

dcmake.exe is a command line utility that allows to convert Adobe XD (soon will be available converter for Figma) to the DC XML format.
dctool.exe is a comprehensive application that allows you to create XML design documents from scratch. You can also upload Adobe XD there through the Import menu and modify it.

dctool.exe is still under development and many editing functions are either disabled or do not work correctly. But in general, these programs can do the same:

dctool.exe - Import From... Adobe XD "AdobeXDDocument.xd" - Save As (Save Components As) "AdobeXDDocument.design"
dcmake.exe - "dcmake.exe -i AdobeXDDocument.xd -o AdobeXDDocument.design -c -f online"
