[Interest] Relaunch to Install

2014-11-25 Thread Joshua Kolden
Many applications have this functionality now, but a good example is the Spotify client. The app discovers there is a new version available, downloads it in the background then prompts the user to restart to get the new version. When the user quits the new version is installed (or the

[Interest] GridView

2014-04-29 Thread Joshua Kolden
I get strange scrolling behavior with QML's GridView on OSX with with a touchpad doing the typical two finger scrolling gesture. Click drag seems to be doing what two finger click drag should be. Is this a bug or am I missing a step? Also I have a large data base (orm) of image assets that I

Re: [Interest] Reduce maximum frame rate with Qt5.3 beta

2014-04-20 Thread Joshua Kolden
A 60hz refresh rate is very common, but it is by no means the only sync rate in use. I would hope that qt does noting to limit frame rate! Only the user or os/display driver know if frame rate should be bound to the display refresh (“vertical sync”) AND if the refresh rate is 60hz or

[Interest] Real time QML development

2014-01-30 Thread Joshua Kolden
I posted this in another response, but here it is under it’s own thread, and with a youtube link. This is a video I did to show how I’m using QML to do GUI development interactively. Figured the Qt/QML community might be interested. Hope it’s interesting / helpful.

Re: [Interest] automatic UI updates as the result of QML file modifications

Yes. I’ve done this. I have a realtime coding environment in which the running app will reload and redraw qml on file change. It’s relatively easy to setup. I’ve even set it up so that it’ll draw iPad and iPhone sized windows next to a reduced desktop window on my mac desktop machine. The

[Interest] QML LocalStorage

2014-01-20 Thread Joshua Kolden
Is there any way to ‘drop’ the database or delete the local store file through the LocalStorage interface? Otherwise it seems like I must keep every schema I’ve ever deployed so I can clean up and update a local store database regardless of the version the user is upgrading from. I’d prefer to

[Interest] Font issues.

2013-12-28 Thread Joshua Kolden
I'm having difficulty with QtQuick font support. I can't quite be sure where the issue is, but it appears that Qt does not support ttf fonts with styles / SubFamilies, or it may be an issue with font weights. In particular if you go to any old font on Google fonts and download it. Say Raleway
