And when you are working in VMs, cutting and pasting between different 
operating systems into text editors and word processors for notes and/or 
FDA regulated documentation, what you think is "text" turns out to be 
platform specific mime types.

I read it and pointed them to a valid starting point. If you want the 
blog writer to update their post for every dot-release of Qt, take it up

Until a paying customer actually has a project with Qt, there is little 
reason to remain up-to-the-minute. The only medical device company I

how 2022 went for them yourself.
