    Hi everyone, A small update on the ongoing PlugFrame development. I have been working on a new Configurator component whose purpose is to describe and generate a PlugFrame runtime installation instead of maintaining the installation structure manually in CMake. The first Developer Mode version is now functional. It currently allows a developer to: define a platform installation configuration; select the shared libraries to install; define applications and their bundles/plugins; persist these settings; automatically generate the corresponding CMake runtime installation script. I have now successfully regenerated and run a PlugFrame installation using the generated script. The next step is configuration management: launcher and bundle configurators will provide their own configuration files so that the Configurator can eventually generate a complete runtime installation, including application configuration. The current work has been pushed to the feature/configurator branch on GitHub. This is still work in progress, but the objective is to progressively move from manually defined runtime installations toward a configurable and reproducible application assembly process. Feedback and suggestions are of course welcome. Best regards, Christophe

    As Qt 6.12 is close to being released (6.12.0 RC was released yesterday!), it's time to continue the Qt Canvas Painter blog series! Qt 6.12 will contain the new Canvas2D aka faster alternative for Quick Canvas. The benchmark in the blog post shows about 40X performance improvement on my laptop, but please test yourself and report findings for example here, as we want to know others' experiences 🙂 Blog post: https://www.qt.io/blog/canvas2d-new-qml-canvas-element-using-qt-canvas-painter Video: https://youtu.be/cXJJDYyDTO0

    Oh, a post on April 1st.

    Perhaps the outsourced anti spam Akismet has an upgraded algo (AI powered?) :p https://forum.qt.io/topic/158678/can-t-reply-to-a-post-because-my-comment-gets-flagged-as-spam

    @yungys said in Looking for Desktop Engineer (Electron, TS, React) for Private Client: @hskoglund That’s a fair point. By “lightweight,” I mean the application itself — a compact desktop client with a focused feature set and minimal resource overhead, rather than a claim about the technology stack. Electron, TypeScript, and React are simply the technologies we’re planning to use. Then my question stands: in what way is this job offer related to Qt ?

    @Virtastic I can confirm the same issue on macOS with Firefox 155.1

    @JoeCFD said in Vibe coding / AI code generation for Qt based applications: As of late April 2026, SpaceX has secured a deal with the option to acquire AI coding startup Cursor (Anysphere) at a $60 billion valuation later in 2026. Qt has QtCreator and can easily add any AI engine. What a loss of opportunity! What opportunity are you talking about ?

    Which distribution are you using ? Which desktop environment ? What about my request for a minimal buildable reproducer ?
