\section1 FAQ - \QB
\section2 How does \QBPS differ from \QBSK and \QBF?
\QBPS, \QBSK, and \QBF are functionally similar. The biggest difference
between the tools is that \QBSK and \QBF can export .svg (vector), .png, and
.jpeg files, while \QBPS only supports .png and .jpeg. Adobe Illustrator
users can port their designs into Photoshop, but they must be rasterized
into \e {smart objects}.
For more information, see \l {Exporting from Design Tools}.
\section2 Do I need to copy the .qml files in the resource folder after each design modification?
No you don't. When you add new or modified .metadata files to your project
from Photoshop, \QBPS, \QBSK, or \QBF, select the \uicontrol {Merge QML}
check box in the \uicontrol {Asset Import} dialog to merge the changes into
existing QML files instead of overwriting them.
For more information, see \l {Importing 2D Assets}.
\section2 Where can I find log files generated by \QB while exporting metadata?
On Windows, the logs are stored inside the temp folder in
\c {C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Temp}. The log files are named as
\e csxs<versionNumber>-<HostID>.log. Please note that you might have to set
the log level to generate logs. Also note the CEP version while setting the
log level. The CEP version depends on the Photoshop version you are using.
Currently the latest version is version 10.
\section1 FAQ - Assets
\section2 Can I import my organization's preferred font in \QDS?
Yes, you can import your custom fonts, for example, in .ttf or .otf formats.
Fonts installed on your system will be available to use in your imported
designs. If you need to deploy the device, you will have to import the font
into the project.
For more information, see \l {Using Custom Fonts}.
\section1 FAQ - Components
\section2 Can custom components be used?
Yes, you can create custom components and controls by using wizard templates
or move component instances into separate files to turn them into new
components that you can create instances of. For more information, see
\l {Using Components}.
\section2 What are the 3D import formats for \QDS?
You can import files stored in several widely-used formats, such as .fbx,
.obj, .gltf, .glb, .blend, .dae, .uia, and .uip.
For more information, see \l {Importing 3D Assets}.
\section2 How to integrate custom C++ components into QDS?
You must create your own QML module that contains the components and
provides additional information about your components. For more information,
see \l {Using QML Modules with Plugins}.
\section1 FAQ - Views
\section2 What are the keyboard shortcuts for moving around in \uicontrol {3D Editor}?
\list
\li To pan: \key Alt + middle mouse button
\li To orbit (rotate): \key Alt (or \key Option on \macos) + left mouse button
\li To zoom: \key Alt + right mouse button
\endlist
For more information, see \l {3D Editor}.
\section1 FAQ - Integration Between \QDS and \QC
\section2 Is there a way to automatically propagate name changes between \QDS and \QC?
Unfortunately we do not automate renaming files between tools at the moment.
If you decide to change the name of a property, alias, or signal in \QDS,
you need to manually change the name in \QC to maintain the connection.
However, you can rename symbols in all files within a project. To rename a
QML type in a project, select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol QML/JS >
\uicontrol {Rename Symbol Under Cursor} or press \key Ctrl+Shift+R. For more
information, see \l {Renaming Symbols}.
\section2 When turning your \QDS project into application in \QC, what is the best way to add .qml files?
Use the project wizard templates to create an application in \QC and copy
your .qml files to the project folder. Then make some changes to the project
configuration and source files, as instructed in
\l {Converting UI Projects to Applications}.
\section1 FAQ - Performance
\section2 Will my application with 3D components run at 60 FPS?
With the ability to test the full (2D/3D) UI in \QDS on target hardware,
you will quickly be able to determine if a 3D object is causing performance
issues using the \uicontrol FPS field in the \uicontrol Design mode.
\uicontrol FPS displays the frames-per-second (FPS) refresh rate of
previewed animations.
See \l {Optimizing Your 3D Scene} to learn how you can enhance the
performance by optimizing your scene.
\section1 FAQ - Data Simulation
\section2 Can I automatically generate dummy data?
No, this is not supported at the moment. For more information about creating
the data manually, see \l {Loading Placeholder Data}.
