Remove QuickTime? #33

Open function-store opened 3 months ago

function-store commented 3 months ago

Is anyone using it? I am not... It creates too big of a dependency after using it

rosofo commented 2 months ago

What do you use instead? I've been using it. Does it create performance issues (apart from the obvious of forcing cooking)

Hey @rosofo glad to know that someone is using it!

There is no critical reason to remove it honestly, was just thinking that if it's not a commonly used feature it may not have a place in the toolbar, as well as another thought I recorded in another issue: right now this is the only module that creates a hard dependency to the toolkit.

Meaning you'd have to ship the toolkit or QuickTime compoment along with your component were you send it to someone.

One solution to that would be similar to how the local time of components work, but this is a different convo.

Anyway I'm definitely not dead set on removing it, so thanks for your feedback!
