Two Inspectors for Qt

I just found two great tools for Qt. They’re Qt Inspector and basyskom Inspector.

These two inspectors are just like the Web Inspector of Webkit or the Firebug of FireFox. You can use them view or edit a Qt-based program without recompile, like shown below:

inspector-dolphin-settings

Qt Inspector worked with Dolphin

Without more test, I’m not sure if these two tools can work on Windows or only on KDE. If you’re interested in them and would like give them a whirl, tell me your results.

Qt 4.8 Beta is coming

Few days ago, Qt labs post a new article that says Qt 4.8 beta is released. This is the first beta of Qt 4.8 and includes the main features below:

  • Lighthouse, a clean abstraction layer for porting Qt to new GUI platforms
  • Threaded OpenGL support
  • Multithreaded HTTP
  • Optimized file system access
  • Native Symbian networking, Ipv6 and OpenGL Graphics, Symbian resource management
  • New localisation and IP multicast APIs
  • Right-to-left text support, on-screen keyboard support and improved image caching in Qt Quick
Noticed that the lighthouse is included so that it may help porting Qt onto new devices like smart phones.
Now, the source code can be download either with .zip or with .tar.gz, and the checksum.txt is also available here.
