why did you delete "Development/Tutorials/Programming Tutorial KDE 4/First program" ? I need it as a template. And why did you delete your other contributions to the programming tutorial ? I liked them. Can you please revert ? --[[User:Tstaerk|Tstaerk]] 13:10, 30 June 2007 (CEST)

My page [[Standard Shortcuts]] is a direct reply to ''request for discussion'' @ [[Projects/Usability/HIG Questions]]. I've put it to another page for organizing's sake. If this bothers you, I can merge it with the originating site. [[User:Dukat|Dukat]] 20:37, 2 May 2008 (CEST)

== Thanks for the tutorials ==

The Beginner Tutorial was a nice intro to programming with KDE4. Thanks for writing it! (And thanks to whoever all else worked on it, too)

Tampakrap:

2007/3/18:
The .ui file isn't working with trunk from svn

I fixed it by using this instead:

----

<!DOCTYPE kpartgui SYSTEM "kpartgui.dtd">
<kpartgui version="2" name="tutorial3">
<ToolBar name="mainToolBar" >
<text>Main Toolbar</text>
<Action name="clear" />
</ToolBar>
<MenuBar>
<Menu name="file" >
<text>&File</text>
<Action name="clear" />
</Menu>
</MenuBar>
</kpartgui>

---

I'm not shure why.
Should this be added to the tutorial?

Let's wait, to my experience this is repaired quickly --[[User:Tstaerk|Tstaerk]] 21:12, 18 March 2007 (CET)

after creating the files i get this error message after starting the tutorial 3 application (through dbus-launch ./tutorial3):

tutorial3: WARNING: KXMLGUIClient::setXMLFile: cannot find .rc file tutorial3ui.rc

but this file exists in the current directory... any hint? thx --[[User:Stefon|Stefon]] 21:41, 16 April 2007 (CEST)

:It tells you in the CMake section that you must install the application in order to get it to work. --[[User:Milliams|milliams]] 22:38, 16 April 2007 (CEST)

sorry. you are right. maybe we can stress this difference out a little more?

== Broken tutorial (kdelibs have changed) ==

KAction has no constructor which takes a KActionCollection and a QString as stated in the tutorial. Also, moments later in the "final" code section, this constructor is not used.

A QAction is also being used! :@

--[[User:Gavinbeatty|Gavinbeatty]] 22:50, 19 June 2007 (CEST)

Well it seems that KActionCollection extends QAction, so I doubt it's even possible or sane to use a KAction here. Not to mention that if you use QAction you depend a little less on the kdelibs. The problem is that knowing that, you learn basically nothing about KAction in this Tutorial.

:Where possible, K* classes should be used in place of Q* classes. I've fixed the tutorial to correctly use KAction. --[[User:Milliams|milliams]] 17:26, 28 June 2007 (CEST)

The link on KStandardAction is dead, it should lead to http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/namespaceKStandardAction.html but leads to classmapper, which doesn't find it. 12/27/07

:It's really a problem with classmapper that it doesn't search for namespace matches. Nonetheless, I've changed it now to hard-link to the url. Thanks for pointing this out. --[[User:Milliams|milliams]] 23:07, 27 December 2007 (CET)

== Success story ==

Without this tutorial, [http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=918834 this revision] would not have been possible. Thanks! --[[User:Tstaerk|Tstaerk]] 09:03, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

And [http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=980167 this]. --[[User:Tstaerk|Tstaerk]] 11:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

== ui.rc file location ==

The page currently says this: "So in our example, the file is called tutorial3ui.rc, and is located in the build directory."

Shouldn't the ui.rc files go in the source directory?
