Hi all, a while a ago I posted about using QML to build some
quick/pretty System settings tools, (or other general configuration
tools) using QML.
I searched again and found that the function is QProcess.
I asked on the ubuntu-phone list
and got 2 pretty good answers
So there is an easy way to write a plugin
Q_INVOKABLE void execCommand(const QString &msg) {
QProcess::startDetached(msg);
}
And
https://gitorious.org/qml-process-element/qml-process-element-qt5/
has a whole QtCreator project with the C++ files, and all ready to use.
Also
Qt.openUrlExternally()
will open certain things... I haven't had much time to play with these
things.
The reason I bring this up, is that QML can use JavaScript to do most of
its logic (as well as C++) and so nice graphical Qt apps can be made
with very little effort.
Not sure if this is something anyone else is interested in, but it seems
like there could be some really quick and pretty apps made with less effort.
You can also use existing C++ backend, and write a QML frontend on top
of the existing code (like some of the GTK tools perhaps)
However, I have had some issues running some of the apps from Lubuntu,
so further investigation will be needed, though it isn't too hard to
make a stand-alone app.
And the other thing... it might be worth testing some of the phone apps
(size, memory consumption, etc...) to see if they might be a good fit
for Lubuntu (when it move to Qt), as bringing in GTK dependancies will
obviously make the distro larger (bad thing). So think about this
stuff, and let me know what you all think (pros and cons preferably)
