Screen shots of gui designs

Quiete nice Chris.

Is that is based on qt4 and python2, if so, is there a reason not to use qt5 and python3?

Norbert

qt4 and python2.

Yes I can't get designer to work with pyqt5 widgets properly on any distribution I have tried.
The widgets work fine with pyqt5 just can't edit them after.
As soon as i can figure out why I will convert to qt5 (again)

Please try to use python3 if possible, it is faster, offers more possibilities and is the way to go with feature projects.

I will try with mint 18 and pyqt5 with python3, but most if your code is not python like.
Print is a function, so it need to have()
And each file need a start line like environment python2 or python3.

Do you mind, if i do include my thinks to your branch, or do you prefer i open my own one?
I would like to work together on one thread.

I'll try it on LinuxMint 18 in the morning.

Norbert:

I see no reason to convert to python3 or pyqt5 until we can get the designer problem figured out.
I had converted to qt5 (python2) once already I have an old branch for it - the screen works fine, the designer doesn't.

The easiest way to do that is to just test a simple custom widget rather then the whole project:
It's possible by compiling aparently:
www.ics.com/blog/integrating-python-base...m-widget-qt-designer
But i can't seem to get it to work with standard distributions. (which is important)
I have tried mint 18.2 i386, mint 18.3 64 bit, and I believe debian wheezy

I have not used python3 yet so am not up on the differences.
If you wish to add code python3 styled that can be used by python2.7 that would be fine but the complete conversion to python3 will have to wait.
python versions nor qt versions are not a deal breaker - being able to edit the screen kinda is and currently QT4 python2 is the only one that works out of the box.
