hi all,

forces with razor-qt team. In case someone doesn't know, I'm the main
developer of libfm and pcmanfm at the time being, mainly because PCMan
has a lot less time and I have much more and I have interest in making
it. Yes, I'm working with GTK but last time we found out that making it
compatible with such fast changing GTK3 doesn't worth all the efforts.
Therefore Qt looks like as viable alternative for another toolkit
instead of GTK3 and PCMan started his experiments with Qt and it is what
libfm-qt / pcmanfm-qt are. Yes, I can handle all bugs and feature
requests for libfm / pcmanfm alone, but what with another LXDE
components? LXDE team has very few developers. But since razor-qt has
not too many developers too and they have the same goals (not build
monstrous integrated complex but rather a desktop toolkit) I think it
would be beneficial for both teams to join forces. And since you want
something alike, that sound very promicing. But we should get razor-qt
voices first I believe. From LXDE side - I and PCMan support the idea,
some other developers aren't sure yet. Andriy.
The idea is great for sure. For me, personally, is the Qt way to go
because of its "ease of development" style for applications. I can
compare it briefly myself as my patches probably live in Evolution (Gtk
mail client) and it was quite hard core school of GUI programming ;)
Since then I live with Qt as mi choice.
I'd like to hear your ideas of cooperation/integration for sure.
I'm little bit afraid of one thing in potential merging. I think it
would be more "philosophical" clash of users than real usage affects.
Current LXDE users might raise their voice with: "down with Qt, we want
Gtk" because they don't understand (and they don't need to understand of
course) the easiness of development etc. It can be quite hazard for name
of LXDE.
On the other side I don't see any point against the move.
Here are some unordered thoughts about Qt world of Razor:
- - Currently we are using Qt4 with initial preparation for switch to
Qt5 (which would be quite easy).
- - With Qt5 the Qt libraries are even more modularized tan in Qt4.
- - KDE guys are working on so called "frameworks" = KDE technologies
and libraries split to *independent* modules mostly (where possible)
integrated into Qt itself.
- the independency should be real, meaning - no cross dependencies
between frameworks and also no global packages in distributions
- which means we could use eg. Solid (hardware info framework -
batteries, automounting, ...) in Razor instead our own backends because
Solid is much more tested and it works on almost all platforms while we
are stuck in udisk/udisk2 only.
cheers,
petr
