|Discussion session
| Presentation + Discussion
|What kind of coding assistant solutions/Large Language Models are you using? Do you believe Qt should fine-tune some of the open-source LLM with more QML training data? Which features of coding assistants (write docu, write test case, write code, explain code, fix code, refactor code, etc) are you or would you be willing to use? Do you see a need to integrate more Qt-optimized coding assistants to the Qt Creator, Visual Studio Code, etc?

|QFuture/QPromise: ’sup?
|Kai Uwe Broulik
|Discussion
|QFuture capabilities have been much expanded in Qt 6, yet it’s not seeing much use within Qt itself.
In the scope of Qt OPC UA, which is inherently asynchronous, we’re investigating the use of QFuture/QPromise to make the APIs more convenient.
 
This discussion session is about setting standards for QFuture/QPromise-based APIs throughout Qt to ensure consistent naming and error handling before their use within Qt expands further.

|Presentation + Discussion
|The native look of UI elements have changed their appearance starting with Windows 11. Since Qt 6.7 the UI changes were incoorperated into QtWidgets with a new QWindows11Style. This presentation will give a brief introduction into the style and about recent developments with a glimpse on what comes next for Qt on Windows.

|How to hate QML
|
|Ulf Hermann
|
|Presentation + Discussion
|
|There are lots of people who don't like QML, albeit most of them for the wrong reasons. We're going to turn the tables this time. I'm going to hate on QML the Right Way™ and you're going to convince me of its merits. This will either result in a constructive debate on how to improve the language or in an idea what a new language to replace QML could look like.

|Presentation + Discussion
|
|LLMs can be a powerful tool for developers if utilized in a sensible way. I will briefly present a couple bots that have proven useful in trials, and want to hear more ideas for how LLMs could be put to work in our development ecosystem. I believe that if accurate enough, and only if they don't get in the way, LLM based bots can reduce wasted time and make working on Qt a better experience.

|Presentation + Discussion
|
|TaskTree (https://wiki.qt.io/TaskTree) is a solution for automatic management of asynchronous tasks. It is used in many places inside QtCreator. The first non-Creator usage is AssetDownloader (shared among many Qt examples) for the upcoming Qt 6.8 release. The presentation shows in more details what this solution is about, how you may start using it and a short description about new task tree functionalities added recently.

|Vector Graphics in Qt

|Discussion
|
|There are many ways to render vector graphics in Qt. In the past few months, Qt Svg module has received some updates that add the most used features from SVG 1.1 standard. Moreover, a new QML component, VectorImage, has been under development that takes an SVG file and render it as part of QtQuick scene graph. Let's discuss those new features and talk about the possible new features that can improve them.

Table of session details

Topic Speaker Format Summary
Topic Title Add Your Name(s) Discussion/Presentation/Workshop/... Add a short paragraph about the scope of the proposed talk.
Whither QProperty? Wither, perpetuate or evolve? Fabian Kosmale Discussion session We've added bindable C++ properties in Qt 6 – and then mostly ignored them except for bug fixes. Let's recap why we've added it to begin with, collect how it's currently . Then, investigate why we (mostly) went nowhere with it and whether we we want to change that.
std::format support in Qt Ivan Solovev Discussion session We've started to provide support for formatting Qt types using std::format, but we might need some more features from the standard in order to use std::format *inside* Qt. Let's try to discuss what we need from the standard and how can we achieve that.
Qt for Python Friedemann Kleint Discussion session Discuss Qt for Python development and explore ways to enhance its interoperability with other Qt products through feedback, ideas, and constructive criticism.
QtScrypt/QtPythonScripting Friedemann Kleint Presentation + Discussion Present a research project which has been under way providing a more light-weight way for Python bindings.
Deprecation vs Compatibility Eddy Welbourne

Alex Blasche

Discussion session Follow up on Peppe, Andre' and others discussing SC/BC and the impact of deprecations on users.
What's new in QtGraphs Tomi Korpipää Presentation + Discussion A look into what has changed between QtDataVisualization and QtGraphs, which will be out of TP in Qt 6.8.

A short presentation followed by a discussion of where we can / should take it next.

Quo Vadis, TTLOFIR ? Marc Mutz Discussion "Things to look out for in review" (https://wiki.qt.io/Things_To_Look_Out_For_In_Reviews) started as a low-entry-barrier way to collect guidelines surrounding code^Wgit-versioned contributions, to be distributed to "official" documents as time goes by. While I believe it had a positive impact on many Qt contributors already in the present form, I still see (too) many of the issues, discussed there, in approved code, suggesting that it may be time to migrate some of the content to said "official" format (QUIP? Qt Coding Standard (no, not the whitespace formatting guideline that currently carries the name)). Also, the number of contributions to TTLOFIR from others than myself remains relatively small (with an explicit shout-out to those who did contribute!). Seeing as the number of Qt contributors only continues to grow (itself a very healthy sign), I think the project is facing a bit of "didn't know; if known, didn't read; if read; didn't understand; if understood, didn't apply" going on. So this session is both to spread awareness, as well as discuss how the process to migrate TTLOFIR items to a more "official" format could look like.
Future of QtLanguageServer repo / Proper CI for non-mainline repos? QML Team Discussion The Qt Language Server repository contains an implementation of JSON RPC and skeleton functionality to implement a language server. It is a non-essential module, which led to https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-115252 , causing it's main user qmlls to not work. While this issue has been resolved, we should ponder a few questions:
  • Do we really need a proper Qt module for it?
  • Should JSON RPC move to QtBase?
  • Would anything besides qmlls benefit from having generic language server support?
  • Can we have "non-mainline" repos which still get the full gerrit+CI workflow (the main reason Qt Language Server became an official module)?
Error handling in Qt (and C++) Volker Hilsheimer Discussion We have several ways of handling errors in Qt: fail with runtime warning, return false with errorString() getter, or emit errorOccurred() signals - often combinations of those.

We don't throw exceptions, and we rarely return std::optional. C++23 has introduced std::expected as the vocabulary type for error handling, but we likely won't be able to require C++23 for several more years. Various alternatives that are (or have been) discussed in the C++ committee (such as throwing value-type exceptions) are decades out, if they ever get anywhere at all. However, we have had several attempts to implement something along the lines of std::expected, esp in cases where we needed better tools to handle errors from system API calls:

As pointed out in [1], C++17 compatible implementations of std::expected exist. Should we allow ourselves to use one of them internally? Can we have something that we can use in our own public API (e.g. for QJniObject)?

C++26 Reflection and Qt Thiago Macieira Discussion C++26 will come with the first release of reflection. It's probably not enough for Qt's needs to replace moc, but we should know what is missing so we can recommend to the committee our use-cases. We also need to know if there are any design issues that would make the replacement completely impossible.
Qt Lottie : Where it is, where to go Kwanghyo Park Presentation and Discussion A brief introduction of the Qt Lottie module and presents the current status.

Following up with a suggestions and discussions on how it could be improved and updated.
