this is so much worse than anything GNOME ever did to audacious

i have ZERO interest in audacious being a "KDE app", just like we have ZERO interest in audacious being a "GNOME app." getting away from the latter is why we ported to Qt to begin with.

and then being told by a KDE developer that his malware breaking my app means my app is broken? really? audacious is broken because you want to fire ::selected and ::activated at the same time? this is why nobody takes the free software desktop seriously.

because of KDE arrogance, there's two options really.- implement a QProxyStyle which will burn a shitload of CPU for no fucking reason just to suppress single-click activation feature (which will make the app inconsistent because that will break file selection too)- implement a state machine to determine if ::selected was recently fired and if so to suppress the ::activated event.fuck you, KDE

trust me, had i been told that in 2020 some idiot from KDE would break my app via a plugin-based malware loading mechanism, i would have just ported audacious to wxwidgets instead.

like seriously, at this point, that might be the best option, which is pretty fucked if you think about it

@lachs0r well, there is no scalable API for vetoing what these stupid QPA malware plugins do

@kaniini Why not use Motif then? 90s vibes are getting popular and CDE is looking more hip than ever

@kaniini first world problems compared to the pain of implementing even a simple table widget on wxwidgets. it will break in different ways depending on which OS or theme you’re using.on macOS you literally cannot expect wxwidgets to orient vertical sliders vertically. you may inexplicably end up with 0-width horizontal sliders that are stuck on the max value.
