QTM v0.5.1.1 released (updated)
Version 0.5.1.1 of QTM, the blog entry composition app using Qt 4 written by the author of this blog, has been released. Changes:
- User interface: the system-tray icon no longer displays on the Mac. Instead, the same menu is displayed by double-clicking on the dock icon. A bare-bones default main menu, with New, Open and Quit functions (the latter displayed in the dock and application menus), appears when there is no top-level window present on the Mac (only on Qt 4.2; this may change in future releases).
- User interface: the Abort Quick Post action in the STI menu appears (albeit greyed out) even when it is disabled; this is to get round a bug in Qt on the Mac
- New feature: the user can now reset changes made to quickpost templates before closing the dialog (Qt 4.2 only)
- New feature: option to "treat posting as saving" - in other words, when this is on, if you write a post and post it (draft or publish) and then try to close the window, QTM will not ask you if you want to save it.
- New feature: in Quickpost Templates (Qt 4.2), to set whether posts written using a given template should be draft or publish (or simply to use the default setting)
- New feature: qtm.desktop file, which provides a KDE/GNOME menu entry on platforms which support it
- Bug fix: fixed crash when attempting templateless quickposts; I suspect this was introduced with 0.5.1
Screenshots here; downloads (source, Ubuntu Feisty binary, with more expected to follow) here. Requires Qt 4.1 (most recent features, including quickpost and templates, require Qt 4.2).
Comments
As-salaamu alaikum,
You've made a lovely application that I have started using for my blogging. As much as I hate to admit it, however, I can't spell my own name without spell check. Is there anyway to include this feature in QTM? Then again, maybe it's there, and I just don't know how to activate it.
I know that KDE has aspell/ispell support built-in, so is it possible to integrate it into the Linux version of your app?
