Qt4 code has been identidifed by
git grep -l 'QT_VERSION.*\(0x050000\|0x04\)' src
Uses of QT_VERSION_CHECK have been checked too.
been used to remember what places need further work.
Then remaining Qt4 references have been searched using
git grep -i qt4
git grep -i 'qt 4'
and relevant issues have been either fixed or noted in the new
TODO.killqt4 file.
- Check the state of the synchronize TeX output option of the document to enable or disable the LFUN for forward-search.
- write synctex macro to TeX source not only for PdfLaTeX
Introduce the new FileName method ensureExtension, which does the following:
* if the extension is already correct (in a case-insensitive way), do nothing.
* if it is not correct, add the extension to the file name.
This is different from changeExtension that will fail in a case where
the file contains dots, but not a real extension, like newfile2.1.
Use this new method in renameBuffer() and exportBufferAs().
Fixes bug #11008.
This important part is the last point, the rest is what is needed to
make it happen.
* implement (FindAndReplace|FindAndReplaceWidget)::hasWorkArea, that
tell whether a work area is own by the advanced find & replace
widget.
* factor out method find() from GuiView::findOrBuild.
* implement GuiView::hasVisibleWorkArea, that tells whether a workarea
is visible in the view (current tab in a split or adv. f&r
workarea).
* Finally, in TocWidget::sendDispatch, change the current workarea
temporarily to the document workarea before dispatching the
function. The code tries to be as careful as possible to handle all
cases. The future will tell whether it is good enough.
The minimal vamue is set to 10%, let's set the max to 1000%. This
avoids crashes when characters are too large.
The code is refactored to be more compact and the tests are more precise.
Fixes bug #12452.
This commit allows compiling LyX with Qt6 when using autotools.
For a successful compilation the following 2 conditions must be met.
1) The Qt6 qmake has to come first in PATH, so that the command
"qmake -v | grep -o 'Qt version .'" returns "Qt version 6".
2) The --enable-qt6 switch has to be passed to the configure command.
If --enable-qt6 is used but Qt6 is not found, Qt5 is tried as a fallback.
If also Qt5 is not found, configuring for Qt4 is attempted.
If --enable-qt6 is not used, then things go as usual. This means that Qt5
is tried first and then Qt4, unless --disable-qt5 is used, in which case
Qt4 is directly attempted. This means that existing scripts should
continue working unmodified.
LyX should compile with Qt6 on windows and linux, and possibly also on
mac, but I could not test that. However, it is not guaranteed that it
works as it should. In particular I am not sure that I got right the
conversion from QRegExp to QRegularExpression. For sure, the syntax
highlighting seems to not work right. Someone in the know should take
a look at that. I am able to load documents and compile them but some
thourough testing is needed. However, when compiling for Qt5 or Qt4,
I tried to make sure that the functionality is preserved.
