Good support of Qt projects #447

Closed tucnak closed 9 years ago

tucnak commented 11 years ago

Hello, @github!

So, I am a bit disappointed with GitHub's support of Qt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(framework) Qt (/ˈkjuːt/ "cute") is a cross-platform application framework that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical user interface (GUI) (in which cases Qt is classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers.

I am talking about language recognition and highlighters. There are files with extensions .pro (qmake instructions) .qml (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML) for instance. They haven't been recognized yet by Language Savant.

My projects can help you with recognition: tucnak/conway, tucnak/supernova and tucnak/novile (LGPL)

On other hand, they don't have any QML files, and it's pity, 'cause we need their support too. I hope project of @pmpuro will help you pmpuro/qt-samples (I am not sure with license, but looks like it's (L)GPL)

We merged https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/349 recently, so when the next version of linguist goes out to github.com, we should see better support.

Basic QML detection could be implemented by identifying .qml extension I believe. Currently they are mis-categorized as Prolog (ex. rschiang/moedict-meego).
