Always use Qt client instead of GTK client for upcoming 4.0 release #44

Open Pentaphon opened 2 years ago

Pentaphon commented 2 years ago

According to the draft changelog, it seems 4.0 has moved significantly more forward with the Qt client than it has with the GTK client.

Perhaps 4.x users may benefit from using only the Qt client on all platforms, even if they are using GTK desktops.

Do you have examples for this claim? Switching to Qt will possibly introduce regressions with folder selections in the application's settings. Just search for QFileDialog and Flatpak, and you'll find enough examples.

This Flatpak has always been the GTK version.

Ignore my last post. I was talking about this in another discussion and accidentally posted it here.

the Qt version of Transmission is much more feature complete and can control remote transmission instances so its pluses outweigh its cons, and QFileDialog - Flatpak interactions absolutely have to be fixed and must not be something to consider at app level when the app is moving towards Qt and dropping GTK - instead of preserving the dying GTK build of this specific app just because the toolkit has better flatpak support, we need to push for Qt to better support flatpak which will help all Qt apps
