[Interest] QtDesigner needs redesign.

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Serge, 

 

I agree that it's painful not having a debug build of Qt Designer provided pre-built.  It might make using custom widgets a bit easier.  You need to thoroughly debug your widget in the application BEFORE you try to load and use it in Designer.  If the widget relies on other resources (like images eg), then they need to be setup and available in the interface initialize routine as well.  

 

My problems with Qt Designer: 

 

1) Custom widgets are not included in the list of widgets to promote from.  

 

2) Unable to configure designer settings to load style sheets - even just one style file would do!  

 

3) No way to provide a base class for generated ui classes.  

 

Regards, Tony
