Thomas Zander pointed out to me sometime back that my name got mentioned in the link on Slashdot. I thought “Wow, that’s so cool. My first time on the dot. I mean now that I am famous and all, I can sell signed merchandise at akademy ”.
I read the techworld article and it […]
About 2 months ago, I started working on KWord ODF support. Getting productive working on KWord is no mean task – apart from the mandatory C++/Qt knowledge, one need to know Scribe, KDE, KOffice libs and KWord. I knew only C++/Qt and basic Scribe.
Thankfully, to add small ODF features to KWord, one can conveniently […]
Roop was wondering how to access an (QScript) array from C++. I spent sometime trying to figure how to do that, so I thought I will let the world know.
A search on the QScriptValue documentation page yields QScriptValue::isArray(). We can use that to determine if the value is an array or not. Unfortunately, it doesn’t […]
So, we are at 38 testcases now. After the initial burst, progress has been slow. This was expected because most of the remaining testcases are yet to be implemented in KWord.
Among other news, I made an announcement on the koffice-devel list about the progress. Pinaraf and dipesh who are actively working on adding other ODF […]
It’s been over a month now since Roop and I started working on getting the ODF support in KWord upto shape (Our work is sponsored by the NLNet foundation). To give us direction in pursuit of that holy grail, we started out automating the test suite at OpenDocument Fellowship.
We decided that we would take […]
This feels great. This post is an eight year old dream come true – I have always wanted to write an article titled “… for fun and profit” ever since I read the amazing phrack article . Qt Style Sheets makes it possible to style Qt widgets, we all know that. But, what if some […]
It all started as a small feature request – Adding style sheet support for Item views. I quickly found out that our default delegate, QItemDelegate, doesn’t use QStyle the way it is supposed to. Jens had faced the same problem when trying to provide native look and feel for Vista and ended up writing his […]
So here is more dramatic news following the Qtopia Phone is completely GPL announcement. A couple of years back, we made a big move by Open Sourcing Qt for Windows. The Open Source edition of Qt/Windows supported only MinGW (and MinGW/MSYS starting Qt 4.3). The MSVC Makefile, project generator and the Integration was available only […]
After the mega feature enhancements that we added to Style Sheet in 4.3, we have been getting an awful lot of support requests and mails asking for examples to do all sorts of stuff. As a direct consequence, I have added tons of new documentation. What’s cool is that there is a separate example for […]
We just released 4.3.1, get it here. We try to do a patch release every 1.5 months or so. This time around, given that most developers disappeared for summer vacation, getting 4.3.1 out was quite a challenge. But there, we/2 did it But really, this post is just an excuse to show the picture of […]
