Qt6 Application Testing

[Martin Iturbide]

Hi David

Do you know if there is an OS/2 version of 'ngspice' or any of the other simulators used?

There is ngspice 4.2 on Hobbes: https://hobbesarchive.com/?path=/pub/os2/apps/science/ee
But since I don't do any circuit design I don't know if it will work fine. It seems to be a command line app, so it does not uses Qt.

Regards

[David McKenna]

 Thanks Martin, I just found it myself... Qucs appears to be a front end for various simulators, including ngspice, so it only needs to be a CLI (command line) version which it appears it is. I'll give it a try...

Hello

This is a thread to test Paul's Qt6 port and Qt6 based applications.

For the moment we have these test releases:
...

- Dooble (2024-11-23)   -  https://github.com/dryeo/dooble/releases/download/2024.12.31/dooble-Qt6-2024.12.31.zip
- Otter Browser - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/otter-browser-os2-20240914.zip

\

Martin, better Dooble for testing right now, ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/dooble-2024-01-09-Qt6.zip basically 2024.12.31 with Rich's fixes for the Window Frame and Window List.
BTW, I think the Otter Browser you linked above is Qt5, there's a newer one in ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/ with the Window Frame fix, needs the libs in the same directory.

@Paul - thanks for the new (final?) build of Scribus 1.7.0. It works well, only issue seen I already mentioned about the double slash on the plugin names and errors about that in the console.

'Final' in the sense that the upstream code is finally 1.7.0, not in the sense that I won't still work on it

I see the // in the plugin name, but I don't see an error on the console. What's the error on the console you get?

[David McKenna]

Paul,

  I just see the list of 'unknown plugin types' like this when I go to the 'preferences' page:

Unknown plugin type: LensEffectsPlugin
Unknown plugin type: OODrawImportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: PathConnectPlugin
Unknown plugin type: PathCutPlugin
Unknown plugin type: PathFinderPlugin
Unknown plugin type: PathStrokerPlugin
Unknown plugin type: PictureBrowserPlugin
Unknown plugin type: SaveAsTemplatePlugin
Unknown plugin type: Scribus12Format
Unknown plugin type: Scribus134Format
Unknown plugin type: Scribus13Format
Unknown plugin type: Scribus150Format
Unknown plugin type: Scribus170Format
Unknown plugin type: PixmapExportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: ShortWordsPlugin
Unknown plugin type: ScriptPlugin
Unknown plugin type: ShapePlugin
Unknown plugin type: SmoothPathPlugin
Unknown plugin type: SubdividePlugin
Unknown plugin type: SVGExportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: SVGImportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: UniconvImportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: WMFImportPlugin
Unknown plugin type: XPSExportPlugin

Regards,

[Paul Smedley]

Ok, that's a different issue than the //. Those warnings are related to the plugin 'Type' being reported as Unknown.

Using QT6 6.2.11 with latest Dooble, I have a font issue on the cookies popup windows of Credit Mutuel
The first ligne isn't correctly displayed which should be "Crédit Mutuel"
https://www.creditmutuel.fr/fr/authentification.html

[Dave Yeo]

That'll be the SVG issue where only some SVG's are displayed which none of us have any idea how to fix.

IIRC this was broken in Qt5 as well?

Some possible clues on where to look in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40827297

Yes, issue#73. You referenced it.

Have to look closer, Dooble keeps vanishing on that site. Maybe time for a new profile.

Industrial amnesia - forgot about referencing it. The page loads for me in qt6 dooble, but interestingly the test teardrop renders fine here.

Is the issue SVG itself, or fonts that utilise SVG? Not sure where opentype support comes from (fontconfig or ??) but perhaps svg isn't enabled?

I never got as far as the teardrop, it was actually links I followed from the page that caused Dooble to vanish.
The issue there was different then what we're experiencing, blurry SVG's while we have non-rendering SVG's.

Is the issue SVG itself, or fonts that utilise SVG? Not sure where opentype support comes from (fontconfig or ??) but perhaps svg isn't enabled?

It's SVG itself, there's SVG icons that also don't render. SVG is raster drawing the fonts. I'd assume someone draws the fonts rather then coming from fontconfig though that makes NLS support hard.
Thing is that only some characters or icons are drawn which is weird. So SVG does work, sometimes. If you look at the testcase I attached to #73, it's just a bunch of numbers.

[Dave Yeo]

Weirdly going to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_examples the examples all work in Dooble and look the same in SM except SM can't do the animated SVG. Seems like a weird bug.
Edit: looking at some of the examples, they do seem to use text while the problem ones perhaps use a different element?
Edit2: If you look at the source of https://www.repstatic.it/cless/main/common/component/header-footer/2020-v1/img/logo-repubblica.svg it is not using the text element, just various PATH statements, viewbox and such
