Scribus moving from a Qt to a KDE app?
by Anonymous on Thursday 14/Dec/2006, @10:47

I don't know how often this question arises, but I remember a discussion some time ago that the team would like to use KDE/the kdelibs, only the required effort was hindering it in the way that it was not high priority.

With all the advantages kdelibs offer, the port of Scribus to Qt4 where much of the code will probably get overhauled and the availability of kdelibs on Windows, meaning having the benefits of being a KDE app on all platforms, are there currently plans doing the port? Is it already on the roadmap?

Well, simply creating a KApplication object, rather than a QApplication, will give you better integration with KDE in respect to look'n feel (like the MacOS bar people mentioned), session management, among others. Why not doing just that? Using KDE dialogs for file handling and printing will be a bit more work, but it's still trivial stuff.
