Description
The list of tools in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/topics-app-development.html is incomplete, and the selection of mentioned tools also somewhat arbitrary.
Missing are tools like
- balsam
- canbusutil
- dumpcpp
- dumpdoc
- idc
- lconvert
- lprodump
- lrelease-pro
- lupdate-pro
- pixeltool
- [qdbusviewer|https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdbusviewer.html
- qdoc
- qml
- qmleasing
- qmlformat
- qmlimportscanner
- qmllint
- qmlmin
- qmlplugindump
- qmlpreview
- qmlprofiler
- qmlscene
- qmltestrunner
- qmltyperegistrar
- qscxmlc
- qtdiag
- qpaths
- qtplugininfo
- qvkgen
- rcc
- repc
- testcon
- tracegen
- uic
- windeployqt
- xmlpatterns
- xmlpatternsvalidator
Now not all of the tools are meant to be used directly by the user, nor are all important.
I suggest that we do two things:
- Try to group tools
- Do generate the list automatically from the (sometimes) existing individual tool documentation
User Facing Tools (TODO: Better name)
- Qt Creator
- Qt Visual Studio
- Qt Assistant

- Qt Design Studio

- idc
- qmake

- qmlimportscanner
- qmllint
- qmlmin
- qvkgen
- moc
- uic
- rcc
- repc
- qdbuscpp2xml
- qdbusxml2cpp
- qlalr
- qvkgen
