We are happy to announce the release of Qt Design Studio 3.6.
Qt Design Studio is a UI design and development tool that enables designers and developers to rapidly prototype and develop complex UIs. Qt Design Studio outputs a functional user interface as code so developers can use it as-is, making integration and cooperation a breeze. To get an impression you should watch this video.
For detailed information about Qt Design Studio, visit the online documentation page.
For this release, we concentrated on fixing bugs and our backend which will enable new features and improvements in future versions. We also enjoyed our summer vacation, therefore we did not really add any larger new features. For example, our model in the backend now supports QML behaviors, which means we can add front-end support for those in future versions.
Building Qt Design Studio
If you want to build Qt Design Studio yourself we finally provide a super repository that allows building the community version of Qt Design Studio. The instruction for the super repository can be found here.
Please also refer to the instructions on how to build Qt Creator. The super repository mainly takes care of Qt Design Studio branding (for example, application name, icons, and versions) and builds the required plugins. The source code itself is part of the Qt Creator and we use the 8.0 branch for Qt Design Studio 3.6.
The repository also contains an example plugin for Qt Design Studio. If built with Qt 6.3.1 the plugin is compatible with the released binary version of Qt Design Studio. For the plugin to work it has to have the correct version number, something the super repository also takes care of.
The example plugin serves as a reference on how to create your own Qt Design Studio plugins.
Getting Started
The Enterprise version of Qt Design Studio also contains the Photoshop, Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD bridges, and the Simulink integration and multi-language editor support.
Qt Design Studio Studio is available in three different editions. Enterprise, Professional, and a free Community edition.
You can find Qt Design Studio in the online installer under Tools > Qt Design Studio.
Users can request a commercial trial on our website.
You can find the latest online documentation for Qt Design Studio here. The documentation is also available from inside Qt Design Studio.
The welcome page of Qt Design Studio contains examples and links to video tutorials to help you get started.
Of course, Qt Design Studio contains many more bug fixes and small improvements. Please check the change log for more details.
Please post issues you find or suggestions you have in our bug tracker.
