Porting to KF5 is the easy part, of course I can. > > But there is no way how I could do that until KF5 has KDE bindings. > > you mean python bindings, right? yes. > > And I have neither the knowledge nor the time to work on the bindings. > > Have you actually brought that up to someone that may be able to help? Did you follow the mails about KF5 python bindings? I cannot imagine they will be ready in time, I'd rather guess they need at least 2 years. https://blogs.kde.org/2014/08/10/pykde5-status https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-bindings/2016-March/008240.html https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-bindings/2016-June/008333.html https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-bindings/2016-November/008374.html https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253123 (reported 6 years ago!) means that not even the combination python3 / KDE4 python bindings works. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370998 means kajongg cannot use any KDE4 bindings at all anymore, and Luca Beltrame commented that this is probably never going to be fixed. > What's the difference between a qt application and a KDE application? I thought there are some visual differences but now I cannot see any. Maybe they used different styles in the past, I do not know much about styles. The main difference concerning kajongg is missing functionality like changing language from GUI (I should be able to add that without too much work) and a GUI for configuring keyboard shortcuts. So essentially, kajongg is not a true KDE application anymore and probably never will (unless KF5 python bindings are written) but it tries hard to behave like one. -- Wolfgang
