ensure that the qml runtime is really a suitable replacement for all qmlscene use cases

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Known remaining issues:

      • When qmlscene displays a root Item, the default behavior is that resizing the window resizes the item. That's very convenient; it should somehow be just as convenient with qml.
      • qml does not accept gnu-style double-hyphen parameters, only single-hyphen ones

      Stuff to check:

      • Is it possible for Creator to use qml instead of qmlscene in all cases, including QML debugging?

      Problems that were probably solved well enough already:

      • on OSX, qml.app is a bundle whereas qmlscene is not - and it needs to be a bundle, in order to be the default handler for qml files (double-clicking them in Finder). On the command line this causes a little inconvenience when you want to give the whole path to the executable. It's solved by using qtchooser, which knows how to resolve the path to an executable inside a bundle - with the caveat that on case-sensitive filesystems, it must be called qml.app, NOT Qml.app or QML.app. And that's why it is.
