Re: [Development] Qt 5.12 new features

2018-08-23 Thread Tuukka Turunen

Hi Vlad,

While deprecated, Qt Quick Controls 1 is still part of Qt 5.12, so you can 
continue using it. It’s performance is not adequate for many use cases, and Qt 
Quick Controls 2 fixed that.

Qt Quick Controls 2 is the one we are actively developing and it adds many nice 
features in Qt 5.12. TreeView would certainly be a natural addition to Controls 
2.

Yours,

Tuukka

A bit unclear about deprecating QQC1
Since in QQC2 no TreeView and even no plans for this, isn't it a bit too early 
to deprecate QQC1?

thanks

5.12 looks like it'll be a pretty great update!

I'm not sure what's on the agenda for 5.13... but as I mentioned on interest, 
one pain point I continually have is the amount of custom platform integrations 
for mobile. This is one area where Xamrain excels, as they have a simple 
property on an object you can set to control things like the status bar 
visibility, the screen brightness, etc. The downside is the Xamarin stuff is 
all platform-specific so using a iOS property on Android won't work. This is 
one area where Qt can leapfrog the other platforms including React Native by 
being cross platform. Anything that doesn't require me to write Obj-C is a very 
good thing!  I figure this would need to be a few Qt Quick/QObject Singletons. 
Notifications should be supported too, and this could also be used for desktop 
platform notifications as well. The notifications support would only need to 
cover being messaged my the platform, and not any display - this would get me 
out of having to deal with Obj-C almost completely. (My beef wi
 th ObjC is other than being not good at it, is whatever I'm writing isn't 
cross-platform. Java I am more comfortable with, so I complain less, but I 
still cringe on the non-portability!)

Looking forward to 5.12!

Fixed!

WebGL plugin has no relevant changes for 5.12. Some stability & performance 
tweaks that are available also in 5.11.1.


Thank you!


Best regards,

Jesús

Why deprecate QQC1?
If you aim for a native looking QML application in Windows 7 then QQC1 is
basically the only viable way to go.
I know there is a third party plugin for QQC2 and the QWidgets style (thus
also Windows 7) integration, but it's a third party one [1] and not shipped
with Qt. I have no clue how much of the QWidgets style is supported by that
plugin.

I think it would be nice to not deprecate the only QML way to make native
looking Windows 7 applications in the Qt 5.xx lifecycle.
Or do deprecate it, but offer the plugin [1] from within the Qt installer
as an alternative.

Also, i vaguely remember that QQC1 was meant for integrating applications
in QML with your host OS and QQC2 was targeted at mobile and to be free of
QWidgets to allow for performance improvements.
So they both serve a different target group despite having quite some
overlap in functionality.
