From my experience on the SuSE platfrom, the fastest / most flexible way to develop software is with SickEdit and Qt. With SlickEdit from 9 to 10, I lost the ability to use slickedit on muli-headed environment. So I still use 9. With Qt4, I lost the ability to use Designer. - Can't add slots to forms - Can't change grid size or snap to value - Can't use buttongroups Most of my apps, I would create a form, add slots for what I needed to code, subclass the form and write the code. done. Now I have to do everything from code. Can't even use the designers preview, because the widgets aren't in the right spot. What the hell is happening? Grrrrrr B-)

Thank god for source code.... To fix the grid (or make it whatever you want/had), edit /usr/local/qt-x11-commercial-desktop-4.0.0/tools/designer/src/components/formeditor/formwindow.cpp Change the line setGrid(QPoint(10,10)); to what you want/had. The .config/Trolltech/Designer.conf file has the ability to parse for these values, even though it doesn't do anything with them. I had pasted the old values from Qt3 in the file and it corrected them and gave them their own header like this [Grid] Show=true Snap=true x=5 y=5 So maybe, in the future, this will work again. B-)

Here's Trolltech's answer: 1) This was a conscious decision. Qt Designer has changed significantly in the Qt 4 release. We have moved away from viewing Qt Designer as an IDE and concentrated on creating a robust form builder which can be extended and embedded in existing IDEs. Our efforts are ongoing and include the Qt Visual Studio Integration, as well as integrating Designer with KDevelop and possibly other IDEs. Do most other Qt programmers on this list use VS? I myself use SlickEdit (v9). I suggested that they include a "test harness" for IDE functionality in Designer for those of use that don't use VS. B-)
