Re: Migration to Qt 6
maybe time has come?
- standard support of 5.15 ends 2023-05-26
- there are quite a lot qt related issues been reported on forum, maybe they are solved in newer version
- hope theme functionality will be improved
-- finally remove 'old dark' theme, all related files/folders as it is confusing a lot
-- maybe add user-customizable theme functionality
- market share of OS necro versions has dropped to minimum (eg win7 <4%)
ps: obs short discussion on the subject

Re: Migration to Qt 6
i have a support until 2024
yes, "better support for HiDPI and fractional scaling"- there are quite a lot qt related issues been reported on forum, maybe they are solved in newer version
Windows 8 & macOS 10.13 too- market share of OS necro versions has dropped to minimum (eg win7 <4%)
Pierre.

Re: Migration to Qt 6

- macOS 10.13 support status by Apple
Unsupported as of November 2020.[2] iTunes is no longer being updated, but is able to download driver updates to sync to newer devices.[3]
Apple probably allows to upgrade for free, but I'm not sure.
- Windows 8
not sure I've heard of cases where people wilingly sticked with win8 (which cannot be said about xp/win7)
I'm pretty sure these 1-5 users can happily use Classic version or current MP (that is stable enough) and do not hold the progress (similar to x86 lovers)cday wrote: Thu May 18, 2023 8:37 am Users have quite recently still been requesting updated versions for Windows XP...
However, I'm unaware about any Pierre's liabilities to the payed users.
So I'm just patiently waiting for changes
