Impossible to scroll page tabs (left-right) on Mac and how to compile (Page 1 of 3)

Hi Giovanni,

yes,it not appear on macOS, but you could use page up page down key, and enable touchpad gestures on config.

I switched off my Apple wireless mouse and I attached a standard generic USB mouse.
When the pointer is on the page the scroll wheel acts as zoom.
When the pointer in on the tabs nothing happens (neither with Alt, control CMD keys).

Is there anyone else running QET on Mac?

Seem's like this :
https://forum.qt.io/topic/94574/how-to- … -for-mac/5

Maybe add for macOS  style ("macintosh, or  fusion") in code.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtabbar.html
See : A truncated tab bar shown in the Fusion widget style.

So, referring to that link "It's not a bug it's a platform guideline", in my opinion, that is a guideline badly applied by QT, so it is a bug, sSince the behaviour is different from Safari and it does not do the job.

If you have Qt 5 installed or know a liitle C++/Qt you can try to add Fusion style for macOS in qetapp.cpp

Like this :

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
/**

    Autodetec Windows style

    @param Windows style

*/

#if defined(Q_OS_WIN) && defined(Q_OS_WINCE)

if defined(Q_OS_WIN)

            if ((QSysInfo::WindowsVersion >= QSysInfo::WV_VISTA

                && QSysInfo::WindowsVersion < QSysInfo::WV_NT_based))

                style = QLatin1String("WindowsVista");

            else if ((QSysInfo::WindowsVersion >= QSysInfo::WV_XP

                && QSysInfo::WindowsVersion < QSysInfo::WV_NT_based))

                style = QLatin1String("WindowsXP");

            else

                style = QLatin1String("Windows"); // default styles for Windows

#endif

Sorry, it can't compile:
:-1: error: Unknown module(s) in QT: KWidgetsAddons KCoreAddons

Unfortunately, we have no one who is familiar with the macos environment as well as C ++ / Qt to help us improve the software on this platform.

We do what we can with our Linux virtual machines. and not time..

If I remember well, I use Qt 5 framework libs provided by Brew and now only Command_Line_Tools_macOS_10.13_for_Xcode_10.1.dmg I compile it with qmake -spec macx-clang and make -j16
See MacQetDeploy.sh script on misc directory on GIT.

Look the full log issue here, that can help you :https://github.com/KDE-mac/homebrew-kde/issues/285

Thank you
You were almost there.
Ok to copy, and I have done, but also rename copied files:
mv qt_KWidgetsAddons.pri qt_lib_KWidgetsAddons.pri
mv qt_KCoreAddons.pri qt_lib_KCoreAddons.pri

Now, running MacQetDeploy.sh script, it is compiling, or at least it is doing something,

Compile works, but I had to make a mac-osx folder since the script doesn't create any.
There are some errors at the end, syntax errors in the script, but at the moment I don't care since the application is build and working. So the script is working.
But there are many problems on inserting the chnage of style in the code.
If I run QeT from console using:
 ./qelectrotech -style fusion
It run in fusion-style and the tab-bar has arrows and tabs scroll left and right using keyboard arrows too (not with mouse scroll)
But when I try to insert a change of style in the code I obtain only errors.
Firstly I write:
 style = QLatin1String("Fusion");
but "style" results undefined (maybe is it defined in some Windows related include?)
Then I write:
 qApp::setStyle(QStyleFactory::create(QLatin1String("Fusion")));
but it also give me errors

Fixed ! https://git.tuxfamily.org/qet/qet.git/c … ed69f515de

Try new dmg bundle qelectrotech-0.80-DEV_r6007.dmg
Strange that Qt did not apply himself the style defined on this platform by Qt upstream.
