I think this is a bug in the qmldumper. >Qt-Creator and loading the document, until all items are shown > correctly (may take 3-10 times or more) Which leads to a raise condition in the code model. > If the central area shows all item, they will be visible in the > navigator as well and vice versa. This is a clear indication that the qml2puppet is working well. If things show up in the state editor then the puppet can obviously instantiate the item in your plugin. But depending on the race condition in the code model the items are not derived from Qt Quick most of the time. Such items we do not show. You have to fix the .metainfo file. I will have a look at the project and then can send you the correct .metainfo file.

Please have a look and tell me I am seeing ghosts.

I have included the metainfo in the attachment and it look ok to me. In order for everyone on the list to see what the problem is about without having to open the attacment (QmlFun.7z), I copied the README here: Demo project for showing a bug in QmlDesigner/qml2puppet in Qt-Creator-3.5.1 based on Qt-5.5.1 and an unknown number of releases before. I have tested the project on Ubuntu Wily Werewolf and Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit) using msvc2010. Compile the project and install the plugin. This seems to mean, that you have to install it in $QT_DIR/bin/qml/bug/qmlfun in most cases. Look at "install.sh" for ideas. One would think it should not matter where to install the plugin, however most setups will fail on this (Qt on the development machine vs. copying installation files to a client machine, running the downloaded Qt-Creator vs a custom built Qt-Creator etc.). This is problem to talk about some other time, though. On Windows, the installed plugin should look like the following list: bug/qmlfun/designer/fun.metainfo bug/qmlfun/designer/images/fun.png bug/qmlfun/designer/images/noFun.png bug/qmlfun/Fun.qml bug/qmlfun/FunRep.qml bug/qmlfun/plugins.qmltypes bug/qmlfun/QFun.qml bug/qmlfun/qmldir bug/qmlfun/QmlFun.dll The generated plugins.qmltypes on Linux is different from the one generated on Microsoft Windows. The Linux version references QtQuick, whereas the Microsoft Windows version contains a copy of used parent classes. Exchanging the versions does not alter the behaviour (works either way). I prefer the Linux version, but I wonder, why the other version exists at all... Restart Qt-Creator. Load TestQmlFun.qml and press "Design". Now you will probably see what can be found in the screenshots/ folder. Continue quitting, restarting Qt-Creator and loading the document, until all items are shown correctly (may take 3-10 times or more). Now you start to consider, that there might be a glitch in Qt-Creator or qml2puppet (I don't know, I have not looked into the sources yet, it may aswell be something completely different). You will almost always see all items in the state view. If the central area shows all item, they will be visible in the navigator as well and vice versa. Qmlscene will always show all items correctly. Thanks a lot for any insight or maybe even a fix, Wolfgang Baron _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
