I started on the user-places.xbel quest, but found I wasn't thrilled
with the idea of going to such lengths for a solution that was only expected to work on KDE. I didn't see any reason to expect this was going to do anything on GNOME or one of the dozens of GNOME forks people are using these days, or one of the several alternatives that use none of the above. I could have tested all these possibilities, but no thank you. I went with File -> Open Example... and Open Template... instead, done in a Qt-neutral way that still works on Qt4 or Qt5. I left FileDialog alone, which means my Qt4 builds have sidebar URLs in native Qt file dialogs, as well as the new top level menu options. I can live with that. Fooling around with this, I can live with it. It would be good to test it on any other platforms anybody happens to be running before I do the much delayed release. I don't see anything else to hold things up. A couple of minor GUI glitches I might have time to address today, now that I finally got some coding time. -- D.

Well, that and the 11 remaining uses of setStyleSheet. I'll see if I can make some progress on that today. -- D.

I assume this reasoning is because you didn't know the above ;) > I went with File -> Open Example... and Open Template... instead, done > in a Qt-neutral way that still works on Qt4 or Qt5.

As you prefer - I have no personal preference, in any case. -- David Faure, [hidden email], http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE Frameworks 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list [hidden email] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel |

That being said, in my defense, I did some research with all due diligence prior to arriving at my decision earlier today. I found desktop-bookmark-spec but there is no mention of user-places.xbel itself in the spec. Searching for user-places.xbel on Google, all fingers point to KDE, and to you. I couldn't find any clear acknowledgment that GNOME reads this file, but I did find advice for users migrating from KDE to GNOME to copy user-places.xbel to some other location for use with GNOME. The file format is universal, but the name and location of the file seems to be much less certain, based on what my searches returned. I felt it was faster to just go a different route than to run first-hand experiments with different desktops to prove what is universal and what isn't. -- D.
