[Qt-creator] Using flickable in QTCreator Designer

[Tobias Wahlstrom]

Hi,

I have been looking at the version of QtCreator passed along with the Qt4 
technical preview. 

First - very good work. I like the automatic snap-functions very much! It 
looks good and the overall impressions is that it is fluid and nice to 
work with. The context help for QML-documents are very good!

I still miss a few things in the visual editor for QML-documents. Is there 
a roadmap that describe what to expect?

For me it is very important that the visual editor is good so that our 
design team can do and try as much as possible without having to deal with 
QML-code. I would prefer if using lists, flickable, flipable etc would be 
a part of the visual editor. Dealing with (at least simple) transitions 
(animations) between states and different pages in the visual editor would 
also be very nice. 

To me it only seems like one can nest things into rectangles and items. I 
have tried to nest things into flickable and flipable using the visual 
editor without any success. If I manually edit the QML and put things into 
a flickable the things is no longer shown in the navigator pane. The state 
pane show the content considering clipping etc. The visual editor pane 
show the children of the flickable without considering clipping. I can 
edit the children even though they not appear in the navigator pane.

I can't find anything related to transitions or animations.

If I manually edit the QML-document and switch back to the visual editor 
QTCreator die.

It seems to me that the current version of the QTCreator only provide 
editing capabilities of static layouts. The ability to add more advanced 
objects (like flickable) have no practical use. Is this the level of 
implementation that is intended for the next release of Qt?
