Hi all, I have not used QML myself, but is it correct to presume that people will not be mixing QML1 and QML2 in any given project? If so, I was wondering if it's acceptable/feasible to create duplicates (or symlinks) of the tools that work with both QML 1 & 2, i.e. have 2 names for the same tool. I'm thinking this could allow users to consistently invoke all tools using the "qml1" or "qml2" names, as appropriate for their project. Also, this would free the QML2 version for development, without worrying about breaking compatibility.
