How can I remove all QTranslator from the app? - qt

I want to change the language using QCoreApplication::installTranslator with a few different .qm files for every language (different parts of the project result in different .qm files).
It is fine to use more than one .qm file :
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(QTranslator *translationFile)
Multiple translation files can be installed. Translations are searched
for in the reverse order in which they were installed, so the most
recently installed translation file is searched first and the first
translation file installed is searched last.
But, if I do not remove the older translators, they are still candidates for translations. Even though they would be the less recently installed translators.
How can I clear any file loaded previously before loading the wanted ones ?
The only way I see is to keep the pointers I installed and remove them one by one when I want to change, but is there something more straightforward ?

I maintain a list of the installed translators :
// Install the translators
for (auto fileName : qAsConst(fileList)) {
auto translator = QSharedPointer<QTranslator>::create();
translator->load(fileName);
m_currentTranslators << translator;
QCoreApplication::installTranslator(translator.data());
}
And to remove them all :
for (auto translator : qAsConst(m_currentTranslators)) {
QCoreApplication::removeTranslator(translator.data());
}
m_currentTranslators.clear();

How to use bootstrap configurator along with GWTbootstrap3 (i.e. what is bootstrap.min.cache, and how is it generated?)

you can use the bootstrap configurator (http://getbootstrap.com/customize/) to configure your own bootstrap version (e.g. set the variables like #grid-float-breakpoint to configure the navbar collapse point). I want to use this feature within my project which is based on gwt using https://github.com/gwtbootstrap3/gwtbootstrap3based.
I managed to create my download my configured bootstrap.zip using the method above.
The zip contains (as expected):
\bootstrap\js
\bootstrap\css
\bootstrap\fonts
just as GWTBootstrap3 project
gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3\org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\js
gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3\org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\css
gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3\org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\fonts
So I tried to replace the bootstrap files out of css with the genereated bootstrap files.
But then I recognized that in the GWTBootstrap3 project there are files named *.cache.min.
How / when are these files generated? This is explained already here: GWT Caching Concept
So obviously we want to replace the bootstrap files to remain "cache"d.
Can you please forward me a step-by-step description of how to use bootstrap configurator along with the current GWTBootstrap3 project , i.e. what files need to be replaced?
What I already tried (with no success):
0.) Create a bootstrap.zip with the online configurator and download it
1.) Rename gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3.jar to gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3.zip
2.) Extract
3.) Replace bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css with bootstrap.min.css (from the configurator) and replacing meaning the bootstrap.min.css is renamed to bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css
4.) Put all files from bootstrap.zip into the respective directory and renaming it accordingly as explained in 3.) to effectively replacing the original file
5.) zip and rename it again to gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3.jar
6.) replace the lib in my project
But after doing so I continuously get the compiler errors:
Package org.gwtbootstrap3.client.ui cannot be found.
Any help greatly appreciated
Best regards
Hannes
I can provide an answer which should work for most of the configuration changes. First of all I had to learn that renaming gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3.jar to gwtbootstrap3-0.9.3.zip then unzip, rezip and rename to jar does NOT WORK!!!
So here is a step by step tutorial of how to configure your bootstrap and use it with gwtbootstrap3.0.9.3 . I am not sure this will work for future editions but it should work for bootstrap3.
Configure and download your new bootstrap
https://github.com/gwtbootstrap3/gwtbootstrap3based.
Unzip your new bootstrap, this will provide the subdirectories css,
fonts and js. So you will have something like bootstrap/css etc.
Now copy your "old" gwtboostrap3.0.9.3 jar to the base directory, so
that the bootstrap.zip and the jar lie in the same directory.
From the commandline issue jar xf gwtbootstrap3.0.9.3.jar which will
create the 2 directories META-INF and org in your directory
Move into org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\css
Copy the FILENAME (not the file!!!). In my gwtbootstrap version the
file is called "bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css".
Rename the file bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css to
bootstrap/css/bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css and REPLACE
org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\css\bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css
with bootstrap/css/bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.css
Rename the file bootstrap\css\boostrap-theme.min.css to
boostrap\css\bootstrap-theme-3.3.6.min.cache.css and REPLACE
org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\css\bootstrap-theme-3.3.6.min.cache.css
with bootstrap\css\bootstrap-theme-3.3.6.min.cache.css
I left out the fonts directory because my changes did not change
anything with the fonts
Rename bootstrap\js\bootstrap.min.js to
bootstrap\js\bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.js and REPLACE
org\gwtbootstrap3\client\resource\js\bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.js
with bootstrap\js\bootstrap-3.3.6.min.cache.js
In the basedirectory (where the bootstrap directory lies) issue from
the commandline: "jar xf gwtbootstrap3.0.9.3.jar META-INF org". This
should produce your new gwtbootstrap3.0.9.3.jar lib
In your project replace the old gwtbootstrap3.0.9.3.jar with the new
lib.
In case you get lots of java errors telling you it cannot find the classes you mixed up the paths. Please let me know if this worked out for your. Perhaps someone can provide a shellscript to automate the whole process.
One tip: Customizing your bootstrap gives you more control, e.g. for handling the point at which the navbar becomes uncollapsed (at the configuration page look for the key called "#grid-float-breakpoint"). Don't forget to enter a value suitable for you (mine was 800px). Don't forget to add px at the end!!

Qt Installer framework component installation location

I've created an installer package based on the Qt installer framework with multiple components.
I needed to install each component in the appropriate directory.
Is it possible to specify the target directory for the individual component? I am referring to something like this:
var appData = installer.environmentVariable("AppData");
if (appData != "")
component.setValue("TargetDir", appData+ "/MyComponent");
Thank you in advance.
This question has already been answered, but I thought I would add a more detailed answer.
The documentation states that "for each component, you can specify one script that prepares the operations to be performed by the installer."
The Qt installer framework QtIFW comes with a set of examples, one of which is called modifyextract. Using this, I modified my package.xml file to include the line
<Script>installscript.qs</Script>
I then added a file installscript.qs to my package meta directory with the following content
function Component()
{
}
Component.prototype.createOperationsForArchive = function(archive)
{
// don't use the default operation
// component.createOperationsForArchive(archive);
// add an extract operation with a modified path
component.addOperation("Extract", archive, "#TargetDir#/SubDirectoryName");
}
The files in the package data folder were then installed in the subfolder SubDirectoryName
You need this based on the documentation:
Extract "Extract" archive target directory Extracts archive to target directory.
In my case, the component.addOperation("Extract", ... line resulted in extracting to #TargetDir#.
Instead, use one of the 'Operations> options in the Package.xml file.

Qt - Don't append major version number to the end of executable/library name

How can I stop Qt from renaming my DLL to MyDLLName{MAJOR_VERSION_NUM}.dll?
This only happens when I set the VERSION in my project file, but I also want to set the version. For example, if I have:
VERSION = 1.2.3.4
And my library is named MyDll, it will create my DLL in the debug folder as MyDLL1.dll. If I take the version number away, it keeps the name as I want it (MyDLL.dll).
Thanks.
Use this:
CONFIG += skip_target_version_ext
See this answer (on SO) for why it is there: Why library name gets an additional 0 in its name?
You can "not-set" the version to remove it from the generated name, but are you sure you want to do that? (It's there to avoid DLL Hell.)
The "proper-answer" is that the LIB template is adding the version number.
Also, note:
VERSION is used to define VER_MAJ and VER_MIN
msvc_nmake generator adds /VERSION:major.minor to link flags if !empty
msvc_vcproj generate adds /VERSION:major.minor to link flags and MSVCPROJ_VERSION if !empty
You can explicitly set those yourself, or "unset" any of them.
You can explicitly remove the version number from the target name with the TARGET_EXT variable, for example, see: http://qt-project.org/faq/answer/how_can_i_add_version_information_to_my_application
If you want to create your own plugin to decide how to generate the target name (without the version number), you can make your own plugin as described in this answer (on SO): How to avoid having version numbers in .so file name

What is the purpose of files[] in .info?

I've just started learning discovering the changes to Drupal 7, and I just found the files[] array now required in the mymodule.info. From what I've found, it is required to add the mymodule.module file to the list, but what other uses does it have?
From what I've read I figured I should be able to separate my code into several files, for example I wanted to make a mymodule.blocks.inc to contain all the code for my blocks, but it seems like the mymodule_block_info() function never runs.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this not how it is supposed to be used?
As the documentation says:
files (Optional) Drupal now supports a dynamic-loading code registry.
To support it, all modules must now declare any code files containing class or interface declarations in the .info file.
This is only used if the file you specify in files[] contains a class or an interface. If so, the file will be auto-loaded only when needed.
No other files should be declared using files[].
At the beginning it was to make a files registry for each module, but it's not longer used as Drupal do it by himself.
If you want separate your module in multiple files, you should include them in the top of your .module file.
The way I see it, files specified as files[] are meant to be supporting files and called upon when needed. Implemented default Drupal hooks should be specified in the .module file or in the $module.$group.inc file in order for Drupal to recognize them. See hook_hook_info().
Also, see the note in the documentation under files at http://drupal.org/node/542202.

Why can't Xcode 4 find my .h files during a build?

I have a project that won't build because the compiler (?) can't seem to find the .h files. I have tried using the full path, relative path and setting the Project Search Paths (both Header and User Header) and nothing seems to work. What I find very strange is even with the full path it gives an error: No such file or directory (the file does indeed exist in the specified path).
What could be the problem?
import statements:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <zxing/common/Counted.h>
#import <zxing/Result.h>
#import <zxing/BinaryBitmap.h>
#import <zxing/Reader.h>
#import <zxing/ResultPointCallback.h>
Headers are located in:
/Users/rolfmarsh/iPhoneCodeLibrary/BarcodeLibrary/zxing-1.6/cpp/core/src/zxing
Header search path is:
$(inherited)
"$(SRCROOT)/zxing/common"
and
/Users/rolfmarsh/iPhoneCodeLibrary/BarcodeLibrary/zxing-1.6/cpp/core/src
Full path of the include files:
/Users/rolfmarsh/iPhoneCodeLibrary/BarcodeLibrary/zxing-1.6/cpp/core/src/zxing/Result.h
I also had quite a bit of pain with ZXing's dependencies. Here's some tips that will hopefully be of assistance to others with similar issues.
This line does an import:
#import <zxing/common/Counted.h>
For the compiler to find Counted.h, the header search path must be specified.
Now, because the import statement will look for Counted.h relative to two subfolders zxing/common, we need to give it the parent folder of zxing.
In this case, the parent folder is going to be something like:
/ .. my full path here ../cpp/core/src/
So, under the src directory you'll find zxing.
How do we configure this in Xcode? Best to do it relatively. Otherwise, the project will fail on a different user's machine.
To do this, we specify a path relative to the project directory. As follows:
$(PROJECT_DIR)/../cpp/core/src
That goes in the Header Search Path of Build Settings for the ZXingWidget target.
The crucial thing with this header path stuff is to specify the relative directory to search from. In our case, we specify search relative to $(PROJECT_DIR). That variable specifies the directory of our subproject ZXingWidget.
Other caveats. Be careful to specify these in the build settings of your target. If you do it at project level you'll still need to specify it at target level using the $(inherited) variable.
Also, don't forget that the build transcript can be very useful. Look at the header paths included with the -I flag.
As a general debugging technique, I like to specify the absolute path in my settings. That gives a clean build and I know that the files can be included, and where they definitely are. Having done that I then use the $(PROJECT_DIR) to specify a relative path.
I am posting this in order to make things simple for newbies like me that are integrating zxing qr reader in their projects and to bring closure to a couple of threads related to zxing integration.
1.
Main thing - Be absolutely sure you have the latest version.
http://zxing.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
[By now, January 18th, you will have no more issues with that zxing/common/ folder. Easiest fix for this: get the latest code!]
2.
Go to zxing -> iphone -> ZXingWidget.
Drag ZXingWidget.xcodeproj file and drop it onto the root of your Xcode project's "Groups and Files" sidebar.
[you should now have ZXingWidget.xcodeproj listed there and it has to drop down and list it's content]
3.
In the same place, project navigator, select:
Your project file - > Targets -> 'your project name' -> Build phases -> Link binary with libraries.
You should find a folder named 'Workspace'. Add 'libZXingWidget.a' from within.
4.
Still in Build phases, expand Target Dependencies and add ZXingWidget.
5.
Select Build Settings and search for Header Search Paths.
You need to add 2 records to Header Search Paths. You do not need to associate values to User Header Search Paths. You achieve this by double clicking the column on the right. A small popover window will apear. Use the + button to add the first record. Add:
../zxing/iphone/ZXingWidget/Classes
Now use the + button to add the second record. Add:
../zxing/cpp/core/src
These are the values I use. These values work because I use the same folder to host both my project and the zxing folder.
[Be sure to refer your folder properly in case you decide to have a different file structure.]
6.
Go back to Build Phases and add the following ios frameworks required:
AVFoundation
AudioToolbox
CoreVideo
CoreMedia
libiconv
AddressBook
AddressBookUI
7.
Create a set of files (.h&.m) and change it's .m extension to .mm
8.
Test the integration by including the following in the file previously created:
#import <ZXingWidgetController.h>
#import <QRCodeReader.h>
At this point you should run into missing files only if you are not running the latest version. Hope this helps.
Some things to check:
- file permissions
- can you build from the command line using xcodebuild?
I went over many blog posts on how to fix this. This one helped me well.
http://alwawee.com/wordpress/2011/12/01/zxingwidgetcontroller-h-not-found-zxing-installation-problem-solution/
The problem was that header search paths were not properly defined.
So I...
1) Downloaded zxing 2.1
2) From the download I copied: iphone, cpp, objc and readme and pasted in a folder names "zxing"
3) I added the new folder "zxing" to my project (on my mac) not to the xcode app.
4) From the created folder zxing I dragged the zxingwidget.xproje to my xcode project
5) I followed all the steps you find in all the blogs
KEY TO SOLVE THIS
6) I followed this steps for xcode errors https://stackoverflow.com/a/14703794/1881577
7) I followed this steps for header path file errors http://alwawee.com/wordpress/2011/12/01/zxingwidgetcontroller-h-not-found-zxing-installation-problem-solution/
IMPORTANT NOTE: I had to do follow step 7) twice, I had to select the project target and assign header paths, and I had to select the project project and assign header paths.
8) Build zxingwidget project (from the scheme select options)
9) Build Run the project.
Hope this helps other people as well.
