QTAds for Haiku (built on a recent nightly):

Outstanding, Giova84! So many people keep asking for word processors to be ported, this seems like it will do a lot more than simple word processing ^^

Does this work on an alpha 4.1 system, or does it need to be a particular hybrid nightly? I get so confused with all these hybrids and different versions, I hope it all clears up by the time Haiku reaches beta.

Regarding the printing support, have you looked at the code at all to see what function is being called when you do file->print? I’m wondering how easy it would be to add some code in there that makes Scribus export a PDF file into /var/tmp/. Then modify BePDF to make a simple standalone PDF printing app with no GUI (apart from printer setup) that’s called from within Scribus using system().

It’s a bit of a bodge, but it might be a lot easier than porting CUPS. What matters is the user’s experience, and as far as they’re concerned it would work just like a normal print feature.

Scribus run fine on Alpha 4.1 :wink:
The printing support is broken, since Scribus need CUPS, and currently is not available for Haiku.
Seems the only way for print from Scribus, CUPS. But now i am in contact with Scribus developers, so I/We can see for some solutions :slight_smile:

In anyway you can export as PDF and print the PDF from BePDF or DocumentViewer :wink:

You are doing amazing work, hats off to you sir! I am looking forward to your tutorial, I’d love to help port apps to Haiku. And it’s good to know that it won’t require any C++. I am still fairly new to programming overall (just started learning Python), and I won’t start learning C++ anytime soon. :slight_smile:
