[Qt-creator] Qt-Creator Designer Plugin Suggestion and Bug report

[Ladnar, Marc]

Hallo Qt-Developers.
 
First I want to thank the Trolls for their very good work on QtCreator.
That's exactly what I was waiting for since programming Qt. Nice work!
 
Using the Creator I found one bug I think it is: I'm not able to type
ä,ö,ü or \ in Code-Editor, even when I select the right encoding (which
default is selected correctly). The Editor then catches the seccond
character and doesnt't display anything. What's the matter for that?
 
The next thing I found out that the Designer plugin has not enough space
left to easily handle widgets in size 1000x700 or even bigger. I have
invented a widget container that I would provide to you for using in
Qt-Creator or even in your Qt-Libraries. You can find it in attachment.
In that .tar-file there is the editorwidget.cpp, editorwidget.h and
designer.pro. These are original files from the creator code based on a
snapshot from 10th March located in the directory src/plugins/designer.
I modified them to match my new class. You can find the changes by
"malad" tag. The other files in 3rdParty directory is my new class. It
will make the Tools popup when needed, but It's not a normal popup. Just
have a look at it and you will see. The user can move them in collapsed
state and resize them in expanded state. The states get saved like the
splitter  sizes before. You just have to replace your editor widget
files, the pro file and add the 3rdParty directory into
src/plugins/designer and recompile the plugin.
For a preview have a look at the snapshots^^
 
Tell me what you think about it, I'm allready using that changed creator
and some friends, too. They all find it very usefull.
 
Have a nice day and "happy coding".
