Qt Creator and Christmas Holidays

Posted by thomas on December 29, 2008 · 4 comments

A few days before Christmas we released the beta version of Qt Creator and judging from the feedback we received so far it seems that our developers did a very good job.

One of the most important things introduced with the beta was the opening of our source code repository. This gives users and interested developers the possibility to compile Qt Creator themselves, closely follow up the development process and provide patches or even larger code contributions.

Unfortunately, most of the Qt Creator developers are on their well deserved Christmas holidays right now, meaning that most of your contributions and emails won’t be processed until early next week. But once they are back at the office they will take care of your feedback immediately – promised!

Until then keep playing around with Qt Creator, join the #qt-creator channel at irc.freenode.org and help other users on the qt-creator mailing list.

I’ve been using QtCreator and really liking it. The main problem is that holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse up/down doesn’t scroll the text window like Firefox/IE/VisualStudio/CodeBlocks/etc. If you don’t have a mouse wheel, makes it very difficult to navigate.

QtCreator already help me much as beta. Only several point remain.
- QTextStream failed to write anything to stdout (monitor) in Vista (Thank’s God my project is in Ubuntu)
- As a newbie, I miss snippetes to save me from remembering common codes (like in J# in Visal Studio). This features will spoil the programmer though.

It’s definitely getting better and better! On the public repository: more often than not, when I do a “git pull”, I get a “fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly”. And as a feature request: having doxygen documentation showing next to a selected completion (like in Eclipse with Java) would be very, very useful.

I really liked using Qt Creator. It would be nice to have in line refactoring.
