Thanks Strahlex! I love this app. But it still has the bug that if you use the phones keyboard in app it will never unfocus until exited or swiped away from. Otherwise its completely awesome!

Re: [Announce] QRemoteControl
 

Seems to be a N9 bug only. As I have no N9 myself, I'm limited to test the application in QEMU, which is not very helpful. However, I will get a N9 in a few days, so maybe I can fix this problem soon.

What about an N900 version?

Just Beautiful!

I wanted another Pi controller :)

Re: [Announce] QRemoteControl
 

Strahlex, any plan on adding drag-n-drop or just double tap to drag ?

Re: [Announce] QRemoteControl
 

Thanks, I just managed to port the server to Qt5 on Raspberry pi, sources needed a bit of tweaking, but in the end it started to work. Didn't test to compile in 4.8.2 yet, but might try that later.

Re: [Announce] QRemoteControl
 

On windows, if the computer goes to sleep the server is unresponsive after wakeup (still shows connected) and the phone can't connect again. Also +1 for the drag (maybe with multitouch)

Re: [Announce] QRemoteControl
 

Great, what distribution do you use? I already tried this, but I was not able to install Qt5 development files on Debian (instead my Debian got messed up).


Drag n Drop: Multitouch is a great thing but currently not implemented in QtQuick 1, I'll probably implement this with Qt5. For now, I implemented Drag n Drop by pressing the button for a longer time (> 400ms), which will lock the button. After the Drag operation, just release it again. I'll add this to the next release.

Thanks for all the great ideas and feedback.
