I do not think, that such behaviour is related to the question whether to switch to a recent version/generation of a toolkit or not. Like it or not: if you stick with a toolkit, that is effectively abandoned by its makers, you are programming a dinosaur. Those, who dislike the way QT is evolving, are welcome to fork QT3, call it FreeCuteClassic or whatever camel-case-name they like and maintain it forever. But I do not see such efforts being made and thus any QT3-app is effectively outdated. >> And switching to Qt4 is really worth it! Lots more platform-independent basic >> stuff with lots cleaner api.

But it comes with lots of improvements on a lower level also. 2: If a GUI looks crummy and oldish but works OK, I prefer it over a sweet looking one, that does not work OK. But I do not see where the problem with QT4 may be. If I look at Qtractor or Traverso I cannot find any problems that seem related to its GUI-Toolkit. OK, they look a bit smoother and more say... polished as their QT3-brothers but not everybody would call this a problem.... I am not that enthusiastic also about the extra-efforts of switching, that lags the development of apps like Rosegarden but I think, it is indeed neccessary to stay up to date in the evolution of GNU... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksxP5QACgkQ1Aecwva1SWO6xQCfVb+l71+FOocNemUDfBjSyfTr rqwAn3YU4uRuDWEYBUhAAeYVKORUQMOh =TwZn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
