Qt Creator 1.3.0 release candidate

Posted by Eike Ziller on November 17, 2009 · 20 comments

Today we present to you what we consider to be a candidate for the release of Qt Creator 1.3.0.

In the month since we released the beta version, we were busy taking your feedback (thanks for that!) and transforming it into code :) . As a result of that many parts have seen improvements, for example there were issues with the Qt for Symbian support mended (e.g. support for S60 3rd Ed. FP1), several fixes for the refactoring engine done, and debugging improved.

This is a candidate, and we would like to hear of any issues you still find with it. We expect the final release before the end of the year, so now is the time to go to the public Qt Bug Tracker, and tell us.

You can download the packages from the Qt Creator Preview Website.

Is there a changelog somewhere so that one can view the list of bugfixes and updates?

I have to say I am so very impressed with QtCreator, and how far it is progressing.

I do constantly stumble going from help to code, and code to help mode. My mind goes searching for another window. This is a habit from using Assistant stand-alone for so long. that’s my only annoyance.

“created with an evaluation version of bitrock installbuilder” ?

I installed the full Qt 4.6 SDK RC1 (Windows) and cannot get Qt Creator to display the full Qt help, it only display “Qt Creator” help.
All doc is selected in Help/Documentation:
com.trolltech.assistant.460
com.trolltech.designer.460
com.trolltech.linguist.460
com.trolltech.qmake.460
com.trolltech.qt.460
com.nokia.qtcreator.1294

and all filters are checked in Help/Filters

what’s wrong ?

Nevermind, I uninstalled, deleted all previous Qt entries in the registry and Qt folders in AppData, reinstalled, and it works both for building application and full documentation.

Nevermind, I had to clean all old Qt entries (from tp1/betas/rc1) in the registry and old Qt folders in AppData, and it’s working (both building and full doc).

3. the (, {, [ character be placed arond the text, unindented.

@Andreas: Please tell us which installer you got that message with, so we can check the BitRock license on the machine that built it. Feel free to just report this on bugreports.qt.nokia.com.

@Scorp1us: Interesting feature request. We’ve actually had somebody work on a patch that did something like that, but since it interfered with normal editing such a feature needs some consideration and might be better suited for an explicit action.

Well I use Whole Tomato’s Visual Assist, which has A LOT of features like that. Including auto-completion, which I would also love QtCreator to have. It saves on so many typos.
I would also like autocompletion to the next degree. If I wanted to type “source-&glt;readAll();”

QIODevice *source(&socket);
sour<tab>.(. is corrected to ->, if need be)[Member popup, with narrowing as I type]<tab&glt; (if no params in the function, then “(); is inserted)
“sour<tab&glt;.reada<tab&glt;” is all I would have to type, which is less than all the characters that make it up.

I would suggest that someone there who has VS try it out (free trial) if you can make coding that easy, them OMFG!

How do I change language in Creator in English, I have development tools in my native language (Slovenian)!

Scorp1us: Seems to work for me. Did you actually try?

I tried the rc of qtsdk along with qtcreator 1.2.94. Its working fine for me. Especially the support for creating and removing files in makefile based project. I use scons (my projects are small and i knew python beforehand) and now qtcreator makefile based support is good enough for me. From IMHO it should be renamed to custom makefile instead of just makefile.
Thanks for the great IDE.

is there anyone how uses LINUX(deb-based) running QT4-Creator to support fully USB-port??
Can’t get any information on QT-site or anywhere. Would someone be some kind for assistance?
Please!

Some problems with the keyboard:

Usually Shift+Home/End selects the text till the beginning/end of line. That works normally with kate under KDE. However i get i strange behaviour:
Normally in qtcreator it doesn’t work. I have to press the numlock key (Asus Laptop). Then it works but then Home and End displays number (as expected) instead of moving to beg/end of line. Any ideas why and how i can solve it??
I was trying to find keyboard shortcuts to change some stuff like emacs Ctr+A/Ctr+End, (end/beg of line), Ctr+D delete character on top of the usual shortcuts and cannot find them anywhere. Actually, the keyboard shortcuts settings seems quite poor with repsect to e.g. kate where everything is there as an option and in addition it works:-) I am using the 1.3 RC of qtcreator. Is it possible to import keyboard shirtcuts from kate e.g.?

Could someone please help me fix these problems??

@noir:

I have exactly the same problem with my laptop. Numlock seems to screw things up. With an external keyboard however it works normally. No idea why. Wud be nice if someone sheds some light. Qtcreator rocks!! (it needs though some more options in editor keyboard settings)
