I remember reading months ago some discussion about one-or-more web locations for hosting shared QML snippets. Since I wasn't using QML then, I didn't pay attention as to the conclusion (and now can't find the reference).
Is anyone hosting shared QML snippets? An aside: I realize not a lot of people are using QML yet (this list is pretty quiet, and not much QML discussion on qt-interest). However, after hard study for a week or two, I'm AMAZED at how GOOD QML happens to be. IMHO, this is where all GUI development will go (and I've been doing GUIs on pretty much every platform since X/Xlib/Motif). The "why" is a BIG topic, probably full of religious vigor, but I've also concluded there will now be a *huge* growth in conventions-and-best-practices to establish more "polished-and-complete" widgets with strong/robust defaults (because platform/application-specific customization is so *SIMPLE*). For example, I started with the QML TabWidget example, and then spent a long day trying to "extend" it to support tabs on north/south/east/west. For a QML newbie like me, golly, that's a lot of work. However, QML promises such a *great* way to "just use it" or "exactly customize it" as needed (much better than a recent project where we used Qt/QWidget on embedded touch panel with Stylesheet interface). I'm not done with the QML TabWidget, though -- It would be nice to just pull somebody else's solution. IMHO, QML/Javascript (or even QML/C++) source snippets would be really useful on their own site because they really are a bit unique from other web-shared-snippets (for example, you shouldn't use globals in your Javascript-for-QML, you should store such state as properties in your QML Components). I *really* like that the Trolls attempted to inject some "best practices" discussion into the docs. I believe I would benefit from more of that discussion, and a QML/snippets site would (greatly) help. Anybody sharing QML snippets? _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml
