--- Comment #8 from Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen <ad...@leinir.dk> --- The reason for not using KIO is pretty simple: While KNewStuff3 (the widgets bit) can pull in widget dependencies without issue, KNSCore and KNSQuick should not, and including KIO ends up pulling in a requirement on KXMLGui. At least, that was the case when we originally made this decision (and wrote that code) a couple of years ago. If KIO's core "just get me this file" is now available without pulling in the huge dependency chain, then sure, there's no problem. Perhaps this changed with the recent KIO Workers, ehrm, work? But, in short: KIO isn't the problem, introducing a hard dependency on qwidgets to a qtquick module is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
