drumkv1 inside Qtractor: cannot enter values in input fields with keyboard
recent Qtractor and drumkv1 from git:
I can't enter any values in drumkv1's input fields with my keyboard, e.g. preset name.
As a standalone jack version it works ok. As lv2 loaded in Carla, too.
what Qt5 version is that? it should works fine on Qt >= 5.14; previous versions would indeed have the bug.
About Qt: "This program uses Qt version 5.5.1."
Platform is Xubuntu 16.04 LTS
I'd suggest you to try with adding this https://launchpad.net/~beineri/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt-5.14.2-xenial, the very same that it's being used for travis-ci.org (cf. .travis.yml for details).
Unfortuantey it's broken.
qt514-meta-full has an error where the doc package wants to overwrite the same file that's in another package. Trying to remove the doc package fails because of dependencies.
qt514-meta-minimal doesnt't seem to be enough: "Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: x11extras"
So I might use the workaround copy&paste with mouse into textfields if neccessary until I update my computers from 16.04 to something beyond 18.04, since 18.04 comes with Qt 5.9.5.
you only need to install qt514base, qt514tools and possibly qt514x11extras;
then source /opt/qt514/bin/qt514-env.shand configure build as usual.
Thx Rui.
I compiled both Qtractor and drumkv1.
Qtractor: "This program uses Qt version 5.14.2." drumkv1 lv2 plugin: "This program uses Qt version 5.14.2."
The bug ist still there. I can't enter values or delete contents in text or number fields with the keyboard.
drumkv1-lv2 loaded in carla-lv2 loaded in Qtractor works ok.
But drumkv1-lv2 loaded in Qtractor not.
I investigated further. It's not Qtractor. It's drumkv1. An old drumkv1 from 2019-07-18 works ok with a recent Qtractor, even when both are compiled with Qt 5.5.1
So I guess we can close this issue and I open another for drumkv1?
It happened with drumkv1 after 2019-12-07.
OK, one last statement for drumkv1:
-
commit b83834e842a7abb44595c61f056f5820bfe0dc1c breaks it "Yet again, got rid of LV2UI::Qt5 as an option"
-
commit 377e7b33ec167d4000b0258cf659dbdd7427e44c is OK
as from 64da210 you can now test both ways (libsuil vs. native) provided you have opted on View > Options... > Plugin > Editor > Select plugin's editor (GUI) if more than one are available.
try it out and tall it makes any difference cheers
Qtractor with libsuil, drumkv1 as-is without changing ttl file:
- X11 Gui: can't enter data with keaboard in fields
- X11 (native) Gui: can't enter
- external: enter data works
BUT: the selection window does not appear reliably after loading a qtr file and trying to open drumkv1's Gui. Mostly I simply can't find it.
So I'll stick with patching drumkv1's ttl file at the moment.

note that the answer to "don't ask this again" option is saved into session file (.qtr) and taken into account when you open it later
Sorry for my poor description. When the selection didn't open I hadn't checked "don't ask this again", so drumkv1's Gui didn't open at all because I couldn't select a Gui.
The issue happens with Qt6 as well, even on a recent Debian Bookworm. Compiling drumkv1 with -DCONFIG_LV2_UI_X11=no -DCONFIG_LV2_UI_EXTERNAL=yes showed no GUI at all. To make a long story short: Removing the X11 part in drumkv1_ui.ttl helped. Now the correct working UI of drumkv1 in Qtractor is chosen by default.
