Then I’ll aim to release it by the end of the month. The Desktop Tool will be one of them, maybe a few other relatively small things too. I’m going to disable, gray out, or otherwise remove anything that doesn’t look like I can’t completely finish it within a few weeks. The next version is (and has been) almost complete other than a few isolated components (eg, the Desktop Tool). It’s been something like forever since the last release. I’ll probably end up calling mine something generic like FolderTabs I generally prefer descriptive names anyway.Īnyway, let’s talk about the next version. However, now that Quizo’s developing and we’ve got two separate branches being developed concurrently, they cannot share the same name. Afterwards, I backed off the idea because I decided it wasn’t worth losing the brand recognition this program has built over the years. Our respective branches are just two alternatives now.Ī while back I proposed the idea of renaming the project, going so far as to solicit suggestions. But one thing I definitely think is necessary now though is making it clear that this is a fork of the original program, not a continuation of it. And I do have things I want to see implemented that might not be possible if I was working with Quizo. So that’s that.īut, even so, this project is just too much fun for me to give up. I sent him an email recently asking if this was a possibility, but he politely declined. Really, I think the best solution would be for me and him to work together on a single branch. After all, I only started this project because Quizo disappeared, and now he’s back and active. To be honest, the temptation is there to just call it quits because of this. Quizo’s been updating his branch quite a bit this past year, so I think it’s fair to say at this point that this is no longer the “main” branch of QTTabBar. If nothing else, I want to let people know that I haven’t completely abandoned the project forever. I can’t really give any excuse other than, “PhDs are hard.” But, even though my time is still extremely limited, I’ve really been itching to start working on this project again.
