            <description><![CDATA[Hi,

	I&#8217;m curious to know if anyone here has had experience using the GlobalSight translation management system, or anything like it.

	We&#8217;re planning to role out Qt based software over the next 3 &#8211; 6 months and have started reviewing our current translation procedure. We currently send out strings to ~30 offices to be translated and then spend a large amount of time collating them, but if we could automate some of that it would save a huge amount of time.

	Any thoughts/ideas/hints would be most welcome.

            <title>[Poll] Which direction should Qt Quick 2.x development take?</title>
            <link>http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/16693</link>
            <author>jdavet</author>
            <description><![CDATA[&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;

	Qt 5.0 (which is already in feature&#45;frozen alpha stage) introduces the new scene&#45;graph based Qt Quick 2.0 framework. While the foundations are there, and for many use&#45;cases (mobile apps, certain types of games, &#8230;) it is already deemed a vastly superior way of creating UI&#8217;s, it is definitely not yet ready for replacing the Qt Widget framework everywhere.

	Considering that only finite development resources are available, which potential improvement/add&#45;on for Qt Quick 2.x should &#8211; in your opinion &#8211; have the highest priority for Qt 5.1 and 5.2?

 .
	
		Desktop Components
a comprehensive set of Qt Quick UI elements with native look &amp;amp; feel on all supported desktop platforms.Note: There is currently a labs project [labs.qt.nokia.com] for this.
	

	
		Generic Theming Support 
a way to easily create themeable components, similar to what QStyle make possible for QWidget subclasses
	

	
		Binary QML
support for translating QML into a corresponding binary data structure at compile time (rather than letting the Qt Quick engine do it during application start&#45;up), for IPR protection and reduced application start&#45;up time
	

	
		Expanded C++ Component API
support for extending existing Qt Quick components, and more convenience for implementing new ones, in C++Note: Qt Quick 2.0 does already allow C++ developers to create custom components by subclassing QQuickItem [doc.qt.nokia.com] or QQuickPaintedItem [doc.qt.nokia.com]. However, the built&#45;in components (like Rectangle [doc.qt.nokia.com], etc.) are not exposed to C++ and hence cannot be extended/re&#45;used, and also some users feel that in general more C++ convenience API could be provided.
	

	
		Full C++ API (should have been better named: &#8220;Dedicated C++ Front&#45;end API&#8221;)
first&#45;class support for instantiating Qt Quick elements and populating the Qt Quick scene graph directly from C++, without using any QML &#8211; potentially allowing C++11 lambdas (or a custom signal/slot based solution) instead of JavaScript expressions for property bindingsNote: Qt Quick 2.0 does already provide some C++ API for manually populating the scene graph through QSGNode [doc.qt.nokia.com], QSGGeometry [doc.qt.nokia.com], QSGMaterial [doc.qt.nokia.com], etc. However, some things &#8211; like instantiating built&#45;in components &#8211; is not possible without passing around at least small snippets of QML, and no clean C++&#45;only alternative is provided for property bindings (one of the things that make Qt Quick so powerful), and altogether some users feel that the existing C++ scene&#45;graph API should be either expanded, or complemented by a different one (e.g. declarative, but still native C++) to make it a &#8220;first&#45;class citizen&#8221; alternative to the QML &#8220;front&#45;end&#8221; for Qt Quick.
	

	
		Optional V8 Dependency
support for building &amp;amp; deploying Qt Quick without the V8 engine for applications which don&#8217;t need any of the JavaScript&#45;depending features
	

	
		Graphics View Component
a Qt Quick component providing similar massive&#45;data&#45;visualization functionality as the QWidget&#45;based QGraphicsView (including things like BSP tree indexing of items, collision detection, &#8230;)
	

	
		some other improvement/add&#45;on (specify in comment section)
		nothing &#8211; I&#8217;m happy with what Qt Quick 2.0 (to be shipped with Qt 5.0) provides
		nothing &#8211; I don&#8217;t like Qt Quick altogether, I&#8217;d like to see more resources put into improving other parts of Qt
	

	.

	Other things which have been requested before in various places, but which I missed at the time when I created the poll (if applicable to you, select &#8220;some other improvement/add&#45;on&#8221; in the poll and specify by leaving a comment):
.

	
		Sandboxed Mode
Ability to safely run QML files from non&#45;trusted sources, e.g. for using Qt Quick as a Powerpoint replacement.Note: For an idea of what QML makes possible for &#8220;presentation&#8221; use&#45;cases, see this labs project [labs.qt.nokia.com] .
	

	
		Better Model/View Support
More convenience for creating QML views for complex custom data models implemented in C++.
	

	&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;
[Disclaimer: This poll does not have an official status of any kind. I am just a fellow Qt user myself, and the results of this poll will be for everybody&#8217;s information only. Those contributing to Qt (or their respective employers) decide for themselves what to work on/what to prioritize.

I&#8217;ve met with a computer first in 1983 sept: that was a ZX81 machine (with 1KB RAM!).
Later I bought a Spectrum. I used it for several years. I learned the BASIC with that machine.
That was the real user eXperience :)
I bought my first PC (80286, Hercules monitor :)) in 1992, twenty years ago (huh!).

            <title>Qt’s commitment to C++&#63;</title>

            <author>Deleted Member # 269f</author>
            <description><![CDATA[I started learning Qt about a year ago, after enthusiastic recommendatory from my room mate. I spent quite a while before picking Qt, for various reasons I decided to go for C++ development and portability, and Qt happened to offer both. It also offered a complete package, a good IDE, a full tool chain and tons of functionality.

	I am not that deep into programming but I noticed a swift change in the opinion of Qt in the very person who got me hooked on using it in the first place. I myself experienced a similar, even thou not as drastic shift &#8211; my initial inspiration from reading all those exciting new technologies in the LABS section began mixing in with disappointment after noticing the directionality of those innovations.

	At this point, looking at the fruit of the development efforts the last year or so, it doesn&#8217;t seem like Nokia is committed to keep the high level native C++ API up to date and evolving. All development is focused on QML, which gets all those new features exclusively, and the C++ API appears to be left behind. And sure, we are still able to use native C++, but without access to all the new technology and with the overhead of having to interface C++ logic to QML. I dislike the fact that C++ is being pushed to become an isolated, low level routine language by directing development efforts away from it.

	
		Qt 5 should be the foundation for a new way of developing applications. While offering all of the power of native Qt using C++, the focus should shift to a model, where C++ is mainly used to implement modular backend functionality for Qt Quick.”
	

	The reason I chose Qt was C++, the reasons I chose C++ to begin with are quite many, with the goal of my choice of C++ being developing applications in C++, not using C++ to extend QML. I really dislike the fact QML, a limited application language gets all the focus and all the goodies, while C++ APIs are still there, but not really improved on, more like left for compatibility purposes and scheduled for future deprecation. I dislike the fact Nokia is extorting users into adopting QML or miss out on the benefits of development efforts, invested in Qt and get stuck with an outdated GUI API.

	At this point I begin to understand the disappointment of my room mate, he spent 3 years learning, using and recommending Qt as a good C++ framework, luckily I wasted less of my life with it.

	I may be a dying breed but for various performance, portability and efficiency reasons I really want to stick to C++, I don&#8217;t like the concept of having code generated for me, I don&#8217;t like the concept of having to glue bits of code in different languages together. After careful consideration I decided to cut my losses and go for an Allegro/Boost combo, as it offers better performance, better portability, better memory efficiency and all the features any application would need and above all, it doesn&#8217;t enforce a new, proprietary language to take benefits of new features, allowing me to do what I want to do &#8211; keep it all native and obvious C++ code, no stitching, no behind the scene code generation, no extra languages and no limitations. Better licensing, Windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix are already supported, so is iOS and a healthy Android port is on the way, and with no indication of Nokia committing to evolve the C++ high level API or officially support mobile platforms that have taken the market by storm this is the deal breaker for me.

	I know I am not the only one with similar concerns, yet people who voice such concerns don&#8217;t seem to be enough to influence the direction Qt is being directed at by its new corporate owners, so my choice is to no longer be part of this community, I&#8217;d like to thank you all for being helpful and wish you best of luck.]]></description>
