Hello all, I've just started learning to program with KDE and Qt. For this purpose I thought about a simple GUI application to back up a selection of the configuration files in ~/.kde/config.
After reading in the source code of some existing KDE applications (mainly in g...@kde.org), I tried incorporating the tutorial on techbase.kde.org. However, I decided not to use the KXmlGui* objects, but to handcraft it on my own. I managed to build the basic GUI, but before implementing slots, actions and the rest of the application, I want to fix the layout issues. In the first tab I see two issues: The first is, that the LineEdit for the directory is a little to short. I think, it would be nicer to be as long as the surrounding GroupBox. The second is, that the space before and after the QLabel "Additional options passed to tar:" is huge. That should be a lot smaller and the big gab should be below the subsequent LineEdit at the bottom. The same issue is on the second tab with the QLabel named "Output". My question now: What is the best way of solving these issues? I guess, I do not have to mention, that hard coding width and height of the objects is not an option. The source code can be found here: http://paste.kde.org/95623/ There are three files (main.cpp, kbackupview.h and kbackupview.cpp), which I concatenated in the above paste for simplicity. In case anybody finds some other things I did, which one should not do, please feel free to point these out. I'm not really afraid of rewriting almost everything. :-) Cheers Torbjoern
