TFA never addresses what MediBang Paint Pro is using Qt for. Checking for updates, etc. (e.g., online account connection, sharing)?

- mrgaro 2y agoAs Qt is a GUI library (among other things) I would guess that Paint Pro is written entirely using Qt.
- settsu 2y agoAh okay, forgive my ignorance. The way the article is written I interpreted it to be a library.
- dgfitz 2y agoI have a love/hate relationship with qt. It is powerful, generally well-maintained, and I’ve compiled the same app to windows, linux, Mac, and arm, and a specific use case needing JNI on android. It all just worked. Their licensing got really goofy for a while, and yocto (which unfortunately I became a “SME” of at work) made cloning and using anything after 5.15.2 very obnoxious. They needed to figure out how to pull a RedHat and get paid support, but this was right around the time electron (at least for a while) rendered native apps as second-class citizens. The bindings to other languages are neat, and the signal/slot idea is also neat. The whole moc part isn’t great, but I understand why, and it has very rarely caused me any real issues.
