>>then put a grid layout inside the left group box
I think I'll skip the grid for now.
The Find Files widget does'nt need to be there. Files will be effectively
handled by the FileOpen broswer.
I put it there just for the moment.
The convert button can also be in the left vLayout- in the same column as
the widgets above it.
I've done all the steps you specified.
>>Now comes the tricky bit. You need to apply a grid layout to the widgets
in
When you say 'widgets'- do you mean all of the group boxes as well (except
for the outer-most group box)- in the left layout, or just the widgets
inside of the group boxes?
Do I apply the grid layout to the spacers as well?
the left hand group box then apply vertical layouts to all the group boxes
within that group box. This will make editing the form quite difficult until

After I applied the grid box, a red box appeared around the outline of the
grid layout, and squished everything vertically.
I've selected the 3 inner group boxes, but the APply Layout buttons are
disabled.

upset- not, but lost yes. Looking at the docs, there's one paragraph about
the layouts
I'd say knowing how to apply the layouts & spacers are 80% of using
Designer.
I had originally dragged the layouts onto the from, instead of applying
them.
Not sure what the differences are, but my way obviously didn't work.
I think it could be improved and made less like a presentation. Some of

Visual information is good.
Also- before after, like when selecting widgets, then applying the layouts .
OK. This kind of reinforces my impressions about "learning layouts". As I

Sure- I came in with expectations that applied to a previous WYSIWIG, which
isn't the way to go.
create user interfaces that aren't quite applicable when using layouts,

I Agree
