The Sort options don't seem to work as before. Sacred items get mixed up with TUs even with the "Separate sacred items" option ticked.

Does it support converting softcore characters to hardcore after death? Or is there no option to restore hardcore character after dying?

So I managed to move the search window off screen making it completely inaccessible.

Steps to reproduce:
    -Enter a long string into the search window, about two times the width of the search window
    -Execute the search
    -Restart the program
    -Open the search window, move the window to the left and off the screen but leave enough on screen to execute a new search
    -Enter a small search string, execute the search
    -Restart the program, search window is inaccessible off screen

A fix to restore the tool to working order is by editing some registry entries:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\kambala\Median XL Offline Tools\findDialog\pos
set to @Point(0 0)

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\kambala\Median XL Offline Tools\findDialog\searchHistory
clear this value

Hey guys!

I really like this little tool, and I love Median, and since I have no C++ experience at all, I thought I would learn through this little desktop app.

My question:

Could you please tell me what QT version and C++ compiler should I use to run to build for the current, latest version?
On github I see only these instructions:

"It can be built basically for any platform. You will need:

C++ compiler
Qt 4 or 5

To build from GUI:

any OS: open MedianXLOfflineTools.pro in Qt Creator
Windows only: open MedianXLOfflineTools.sln in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, you will also need to install Qt VS Tools extension"


QT 5 is breaking the build since "QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::HomeLocation)" is a QT4 feature, and therefore I get errors on build.

I use QT Creator Community for IDE and Visual Studio with the QT extension, but none of these working at the moment.

I tried with msvc2015_64 (QT5) with C++ Compiler 17.2
Also I tried with QT 4.8 but It is not working with the C++ compiler above.

I'm trying to solve this, but after 2 days I'm close to giving up.

Would you please tell me what is the best ide, C++ compiler version and Qt version to build this app? Maybe I missing some dependencies? Thanks you <3 :beg:

thanks for noticing the build error! Just pushed the fix.


Qt 4 doesn't have prebuilt binaries for modern Visual Studio, unfortunately. This means you should either install Visual Studio 2010 to use prebuilt Qt binaries or build from source.

But better just keep using Qt 5, the latest version 5.15.2 is available for Visual Studio 2019 (or use any earlier 5.x, up to you). Now it should build.

Thank you very much for your help!

So if I understand correctly, the simplest solution then:

- using QT creator IDE - 8.0.0
- with QT 5.15

The build is almost green, I have only one single error: no moc files are generated from the header files. I see that the repo doesn't contain files with 'moc_' prefix, so I have made some files generated somehow, I don't really know how. I've created .moc files manually from the 'moc_' prefixed files, and resolved 2-3 error messages that way. However, I'm missing one single moc file still

error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'messagecheckbox_p.moc': No such file or directory


(there is no 'moc_' prefixed file for this header, so I cannot create it manually)

Please can you upload the messagecheckbox_p.moc file somewhere? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm using QT 5.15 with Creator 8.0 I tried to look it up, but found very old posts, and it's supposed to be a QT bug :/

moc files are created at build time. just built on macOS against Qt 5.15.2 in Qt Creator - the file is created, not sure what's going on on your side...


I suggest to try building in Visual Studio.
