Hi,
being an avid KDE user and working in a very Windows-centric organization, I'm very interested by the potential of KDE (and Qt) tools running under Windows. One of the projects I'm most actively involved in (mainly as a tester and bug reporter, though I occasionally contributed some code as well) is kst, a great (though not so well known) professional plotting tool. I've just subscribed to this list to be able to follow progress on the KDE Windows front, and also to be able to get some advice on kst under Windows, as version 2.0.0 (due soon) will be the first to run on that platform. We are currently testing it and there are a few things we are a bit puzzled at. If anybody could give some advice, we'd be very grateful. The 2 biggest problems we have so far are a memleak (I'll send another message with information on that one) and a performance problem detailed in the message below, which I am forwarding as it seems it did not make it to the list. You can find kst code under https://[[email protected]/home/kde/branches/work/kst/portto4/kst <https://%[email protected]/home/kde/branches/work/kst/portto4/kst> (of course also available with anonymous svn, though not from behind a proxy...), as far as I know it currently requires any Qt 4 version (not necessarily the latest). Kst 1.x was a KDE application, but kst 2.x is so far pure Qt (.pro based), though an optional KDE integration is planned down the road. I hope that still qualifies it to be discussed on this list :-) Don't hesitate to ask for more information if needed, Best regards, Nicolas ________________________________ Von: Brisset, Nicolas Gesendet: Donnerstag, 12.

I had the impression it was slower than the Linux version but it was only subjective. I tried to load gyrodata.dat from the SVN repos today to show off the performance to a colleague. Well, it turns out it was a bad idea :-(: it takes *ages* to load (I'm talking about minutes here, don't discourage it will eventually appear !). I have no idea where the difference comes from, loading the same file under Linux with the same version (svn HEAD) is *instantaneous*. Maybe the KDE-Windows folks could help there? There must be a stupid reason. I tried the kst 2.0.0 beta from the website (I believe it was compiled with VC++) and todays's SVN compiled qith Qt SDK (Creator) 2009.02. This is to me a blocking point for widespread use on Windows... Nicolas
