lubot<SamuelBanya> The only issue I've been having is to add the .qrc resource file to the project since it's cmake. I did however modify the cmakelists.txt file to include it. Artem made temporary assets which I've included it in the welcome center's images folder16:04
lubot<SamuelBanya> I only wish we didn't have to do cmake tbh cause it makes the process of working with qt creator that much harder since it's overlap of two documentation resources16:05
lubot<SamuelBanya> Just want to clarify: we can't just use QMake instead? It would make this 10x easier.16:38
lubot<tsimonq2> @SamuelBanya [I only wish we didn't have to do cmake tbh cause it makes the process of working …], There is documentation available for doing it with CMake16:43
lubot<tsimonq2> @SamuelBanya [Just want to clarify: we can't just use QMake instead? It would make this 10x ea …], Nope, I very much disagree after using both extensively :)16:43
lubot<SamuelBanya> Can you point me in the right direction cause #qt only helped so much last night and it's been a pain in qt creator itself. If it's qmake it automatically does everything for you16:47
lubot<SamuelBanya> I don't do terminal based edits because qt + c++ is pretty complex already and I rely on qt creator to at least make sense of most of it16:48
lubot<SamuelBanya> :)16:48
lubot<tsimonq2> @SamuelBanya [I don't do terminal based edits because qt + c++ is pretty complex already and I …], Then maybe we should sit down at one point and help you make sense of it16:53
lubot<SamuelBanya> Alright thats a better approach because I would even more so prefer to just do away with qt creator anyway I'm just a bit scared because there are so many moving parts in that single project. Otherwise I'm used to just running one file scripts in Python or adjusting JavaScript scripts.16:56
lubot<SamuelBanya> I tried looking even in the CMake side of things but mostly their docs point you to their book which I don't want to buy just for a single module16:56
lubot<SamuelBanya> Unless there are better docs on it with qt16:56
lynorianbot seems dead19:54
lynorianalthough not sure I can contribute much more for today19:55
lubot<HMollerCl> @SamuelBanya [Alright thats a better approach because I would even more so prefer to just do a …], Why are you using c++qt instead of pyqt?20:03
lubot<SamuelBanya> Because Simon wants cmake20:04
lubot<SamuelBanya> Cause it's upstream20:04
lubot<SamuelBanya> I would definitely want to use python instead though20:05
lubot<SamuelBanya> But I've been learning c++ to compensate though it's still damn hard as a newbie.20:06
lubot<SamuelBanya> If we would agree to use that instead would you want to help me develop it?20:06
lubot<teward001> *stabs @tsimonq2*20:06
lubot<teward001> *points up* Why, Simon, why.20:07
lubot<teward001> well now i know why20:28
lubot<teward001> Fwd from tsimonq2: PyQt is slow20:28
lubot<teward001> Fwd from tsimonq2: CMake > QMake20:28
lubot<HMollerCl> I agree that c++ is more efficient than python, but is that needed for a welcome center? @tsimonq220:31
lubot<HMollerCl> Software-properties Is done in pygtk and pyqt20:32
lubot<HMollerCl> The WC (welcome center, bad acronym) supposed to be run only once. It could also be an offline webpage20:34
lubot<SamuelBanya> So it's not a program to be run more than once?20:48
lubot<SamuelBanya> Artems vision for it is like a one stop hub20:48
lubot<SamuelBanya> I kind of like that a lot so we don't have to have deep dives into menus20:48
lubot<SamuelBanya> Though I do know keyboard shortcuts exist through and they ARE handy. It might be nice for a newbie to just rely on the gui first20:49
lubot<SamuelBanya> I want as much people to feel comfortable to come over to our distro and I really feel we should be pushing for that, especially with new beginners.20:49
lubot<HMollerCl> Maybe my understanding of what the WC is is wrong. I thought that it was like the "tour" windows has21:03

lubot<SamuelBanya> This is what Artem was thinking21:07
lubot<SamuelBanya> I do like your idea for an offline webpage though the functionality is needed to open up actual programs within the OS21:09
lubot<SamuelBanya> Which doesn't sound like an offline webpage could do21:09
lubot<SamuelBanya> Though honestly if we do another collab program let's shoot for python so I can get Hans to help me out consistently.21:16
lubot<SamuelBanya> Or rather past the April release, Hans, are there any Python related scripts we could both work on for ease of use for our users?22:47
