According to this opinion they should.
Things Don’t ”Ad” Up

“I recommended an amicable solution to the KDE/Qt problem: I did not suggest KDE do anything to illegally or immorally harm Trolltech, but rather suggested maybe the two should part ways. You can agree or disagree with whether that is a good idea, but either way, I am not advocating anything immoral. Finding alternatives is exactly the thing I also advise here.”

ermm… just exactly how Kde is to part with Qt is not discussed. :)

We received some comments on how our network examples in Qt 4.0 are too simplistic, and how 4.0 could do better at showing how to put it all together. So for Qt 4.1, I’ve thrown in the source code for a complete BitTorrent client based on Qt 4.1. Here’s a screenshot showing the app in action, in Plastique style:

The BitTorrent example, in Plastique style

Surprisingly, it’s only about 5000 lines of code. It uses about 10-15MB of RAM and very little (<5%) of my system resources. It’s also got upload/download rate limiting and the standard BitTorrent features like optimistic unchoking and a tit-for-a-tat algorithm for rewarding its best uploaders with good downloads. Sweet… :-)

Here’s a screenie of qtrss news feed reader. This also runs in Qtopia, but this screenshot is obviously of the x11 application.

Qtrss screenie

This app came about after numerous requests I saw in the zaurus forums/irc for a rss reader in Qtopia. Since Qt is so great, I decided to make it dual “platform”.

I spent a good hour in the airport-bookstore in Copenhagen just staring at books. Now that I have to wait three hours in Singapore for my connection flight, I thought I’ll check out the books here. Oh, what a daja-vu. Took me 5 minutes to find a book I haven’t seen in Copenhagen. Even the Harry-Potter pile is about as tall. Biggest difference so far: The collection of Lonely-Planet books for European capitals is not as extensive.

Sitting in Singapore, still shivering from the experience of a Singapore Airlines Flight. Guess I’ve been flying with we-don’t-smile European Airlines too often.

I’ve never seens stewardesses working that hard and still smile and be nice. Every 15 minutes, we got new water and drinks, I had to leave my glass half-full to prevent them to constantly replace it. This was also the first time I felt sorry for the flight-attendants, after the excellent meal I neatly folded and packed my stuff together to spare them some work.

And again, it was a funny experience to see the spice-agnostic scandinavians complain about the hotness of the mildly spiced noodle dish :)

I just added support for Qt’s resource system to unsermake. Just create a .qrc file using Qt Designer’s resource editor for example and then add it to your *_SOURCES variable in your Makefile.am.

People (including Zack) kept asking to have that nice view of the chat area in ksirc that xchat has, where the nick names are separated from the regular chat area using a simple vertical draggable line. Working on Scribe in my day job I thought: Hey, it can’t be that difficult. 300 lines of code later I have a working prototype with a draggable line that uses a custom layout on top of a regular Scribe document, so that the normal API with QTextCursor and friends can be used to create the actual content and of course all features like full formatting information, hyperlinks, etc. work, too :). Here’s the obligatory screenshot:

Work is continuing on Qt 4.0.1. Tasks are getting less and less critical, looks like we’ve done a good job with QA this time. Some classes got no feedback at all - either no one is using them or people are just happy :)
