It’s been a couple of weeks since the last update. I didn’t have much to report. At this point most of my progress is just grinding through the work. It is becoming very boring though. Like everything else I did foresee this (it was obvious it would happen from the start) but boredom is not … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 15

It’s been nearly a month since my last post, ugh that sounds like a confession! I got stuck in compiler hell for over a week and had to have some time away from QW. For those who don’t know a “compiler” is the software that converts your code into something that can be more easily … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 14

It’s that time again. I’ve got a lot done since my last post. I’ve almost completed the Import function (I can’t complete that until I have the project viewer a little more complete) and I’ve started on the Options panel. I still can’t stand the way that ListView, TreeView and others work. I’ve begrudingly used … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 10

Well that was easy… In my last post I complained about the JavaFX TreeView and how it reuses cells for the sake of efficiency, after some testing it became clear that I should create my own tree that doesn’t have the TreeView limitations I outlined. Surprisingly it didn’t take long to implement. You see, in … Continue reading QWv3 – Dev blog 9
