    @aha_1980 said in Drive-by Qt contributions: I'd say: Create bugreports, and if you have a fix attach it there. In the worst case (your patch is not accepted) I would be fine with patches not being accepted for one reason or another. My problem is not that. Ok, I wasn't going to point any specific issues because that's not what this is about, but for the sake of example take a look here: QTBUG-76585 2 days just to assign priority... eh, ok, maybe it was weekend or busy week, fine... but, it's been since June and the only thing that happened to that item was it changed assignee 3 times and workflow version (whatever that is). So at least 3 people looked at it. I mean the thing is two lines, has attached example and a ready to merge patch... come on... it's not a giant multiplatform change that requires some sort of elaborate testing scheme or anything. It's practically a hello world of what a bugfix and a drive-by contribution is. There has to be a way to do this sort of thing faster.

    I would say that due to python being a default install in many *nix based platforms is one reason. If Qt is available then it is pretty simple to put together dialogs and scripts for doing common tasks. Python is the glue language. The major alternative for guis in Python wxpython. I have used both and Qt is a much richer system for guis.

    Can you rephrase the question? I have no idea what you mean. You are making your own QML plugin, right? And hitting some versioning issue?

    @kshegunov said in Things you hear about computing... Please share your experiences...: My favourite is: "The computer's wrong" (in regards to computation) In all fairness your first point, has some basis in fact. As one N. Wirth stated: 'Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.' Or, as someone else put it so well: "what Santa Clara giveth, Redmond taketh away." Of course, this isn't directly applicable to the Linux folks in the audience, but I'm sure they have a parallel experience...

    @fcarney said in "Real" code vs "Fake" code: this is a different definition of "real" in this case. As in "toy" vs "tool". I do reach for Python for quite a few tasks, but not for any application that needs serious threading. This makes me think of LabVIEW, which is the primary language at my workplace. People often look down on it and call it a "toy" language simply because coding involves drawing colourful diagrams, and because it has "lab" in its name. However, it trumps all other languages in its ease of creating multi-threaded code.

    @Kent-Dorfman said in I feel cheated.: I know it's troll bait, but I do have to agree with the OP about licensing fees. Monthly use fees are criminal. Really, for as much as I hate windoze, the .net dev model is really the most fair one in the industry: buy once, and use that version forever without restrictions on redistributables. +1. And Qt license used to work the same way in the past, too. Maybe it still does, I'm not sure.

    @Guest said in Qt long steep learning curve & expensive price!: why I need to pay money for Qt guys and Felgo?! This is absolute madness! this part caught my attention deeply. Those are companies providing a service that you may find interesting, and that may help you solve your problem(s) so why not? I'm planning to start my own -one man- company In that case, aren't you planning to be paid money? It looks like you'll be at the same level of Qt or Felgo right?

    @HaoTian Usually when you have to resort to that kind of workaround, there's something else to be fixed. Running development tools and software as root/admin is usually a pretty bad idea. You can destroy your system pretty easily if you execute your application and it contains for example some innocent code that deletes folders and you start that at the root of your disk.
