icon out of place on Ubuntu 13.04

I can click on the icon and maximize it. And it only shows on the first desktop. It seems to be opened as a normal program, as seen in the attached screenshot (which shows (1) the maximizing and (2) that there is an entry in the unity launcher)

Interesting :). On Unity, Gnome Shell and similar you'll have to install additional package: sni-qt

[scottkosty]

It is already installed:

$ apt-cache policy sni-qt
sni-qt:
  Installed: 0.2.6-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.2.6-0ubuntu1

Hmm, I thought that may be the case. Did you install CopyQ from package or build from source?

[scottkosty]

Built from source, after installing the following packages:

qttools5-dev libqt5v8-5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtscript5-dev qttools5-dev-tools

This could be Qt 5 bug: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30079

[hluk]

As workaround, you can install Qt 4 and then re-build the app (cmake first looks for Qt 4 first if WITH_QT5 variable is not set).

[scottkosty]

Do you know by chance which packages on Ubuntu I need in order to compile against Qt 4? Or is it best to install from the website?

[scottkosty]

I was hoping not to install a lot, but I think I'll do it anyway. qt-sdk should work I think. Thanks for the help. I'll report back my findings.

Qt 5 is actually in very stable state now -- some stuff works even better then in Qt 4, but some doesn't work at all yet -- themes for example.

[scottkosty]

Maybe Ubuntu's Qt 5 packages are old. In any case, building with Qt 4 solved this issue. Close?

[hluk]

I'll try to test it and -- if it's not too complicated -- implement dbus communication with the notification area in Unity so you won't need the sni-qt package. I'll reply here and close it afterwards.

[hluk]

It's not that simple to implement so I won't be re-implementing sni-qt and other stuff just because Ubuntu-specific packages are broken. Also see #76.

[scottkosty]

Should I try with the Qt 5 libraries now? I would prefer not to but if it would help with testing, let me know.

[hluk]

If you have the time you can test it. If tray doesn't work, disable it in options -- the main window should be always visible in panel (even in Unity).

I tested it a bit and everything else seems to work.

[hluk]

Actually I'm speaking about Qt 5.1 -- version 5.0.2 crashes on show/hide menu or main window (Qt bug).

[scottkosty]

Ah, I have 5.0.1 so I think I will not test this. But it's good to know that things are working well with 5.1
