Hi,
I am trying to compile this amazing software but, due to the fact I am a newbbie in this, I am not able to do it even though I follow the readme indications.

I get this error, could you please give an hand? Thanks in advance:

Well the error message is pretty explicit: Your version of Qt6 is too old. Or, if you think you have installed a version 6.8.0 or later, it is not found as it is not in the path.

Depending on your system, which you failed to mention, installing a more recent version can be quite a pain. And then you have to get all the other dependencies right. As a newbie quite a challenge. I would recommend to try if the precompiled packages work for you.

Hi Kiozen, thank you for your reply. I woulbe glad to use a precompiled version, but do you know where can I find the latest version of QMapShack for Ubuntu? Thank you in advance! 7 mar 2026, 19:40 da ***@***.***:

Hi, Thanks for all your work on this fine project. Some feedback and questions based on Debian13.4's 1.20.01 backport (Gnome). * I'm missing the maps license info that formerly was displayed on mouse-over, as my maps have creation dates included there. Has that been removed intentionally? * In general I feel there is quite some mismatch in icon sizes o the visibility (active) indicators of maps and DEM and project/element/DB icons are quite huge. There are no such icons for POIs. + without status-line (fontsize: none) for workspace projects and elements, workspaces elements iconsize shrinks to smallest size (see below), but not workspaces projects size + although I couldn't find status-line options for DBs, their icons and status-icons stay huge instead of always using small icons or at least following the workspace behaviour to reduce scrolling. o menu icons show up medium/as usual (~ 1/2) o the visibility, starring and save toggles of workspace elements (state?) are the smallest (~ 1/4) Are there tweaking options for the graphical changes I didn't find? * As far as I remember, formerly it was possible to manually sort elements within projects (by dragging to order), p. e. to adjust visibility/draw-order for (partly) identical elements. This does no longer work here, but triggers copying. ATM I can only sort manually (mis-)using rating. Dragging maps, DEM and projects to order still works. Databases seem to be ordered by invocation only, dragging only extends selection. Am I confusing options here because I needed sorting of elements just now? Could dragging workspace project elements to order be a feature request then or are there means to accomplish individual order except using rating? * Sorting of elements by rating seems to be individual between DB and workspace sorting. Compare first two visible workspace items vs. their DB representation, both having 4 stars. All in sync using sorting by name, different too when using time w/o timestamps present. <img width="436" height="668" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8f39f612-b262-49a6-bf5f-699f13e68dd1" /> <img width="386" height="678" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6207979a-d3d4-4472-bece-a771e138908d" /> * Would it be possible to include the loaded maps (map folder selection) into the mapview save/load feature? At times I'm working on significantly different projects simultaneously. Some maps are almost always required, but loading to many at a time makes selecting/toggling way less convenient. At the moment I'm already creating mapset folders with symlinks to the maps by project. Ordered by numbering the symlinks. But to be loaded separately to the respective mapview. Thanks, Felix

[QMS-980] Configure content and size of the items in the workspace list

[kiozen]

• missing copyright is a regression. Will fix.
• POI has not been refactored. I have no stake in POIs -> this is up to someone using POIs
• This is how projects and item look without a status line:

• DB stuff does not have a status line - yet. So far other all other stuff keeps me from thinking about it.
• Only sorting of elements is possible. Manual ordering was dropped for quite a while ago.
• Sorting DB and workspace: could be a difference in sorting algorithm. Need to check.
• Map folder in saved view: Will be tricky with several views and different use cases. Imho this is one of these single user requirements that make the usage and the code more complicated than good. Why don't you start QMapShack with different configuration files?

[flixmart]

Thanks for your reply.

You're right, I still (or again?) had minimal fontsize for projects status line.
Couldn't that be the default for DBs too - for now?

Sorting DB and workspace: could be a difference in sorting algorithm. Need to check.

Not critical but mainly cosmetics and maybe some more searching.

Map folder in saved view: ... Why don't you start QMapShack with different configuration files?

Hadn't been aware of the -c option ;-). Will try.
But I can see some benefit in general map handling nevertheless, possibly reducing the overall count of loaded maps issue 963

[flixmart]

...start QMapShack with different configuration files?

So far seems to perfectly address my working w/ different projects. Thanks!

Any risks to be aware of, p. e. on program updates?

[kiozen]

I always try to be backward compatible with new updates but never downward compatible. If you jump between versions I recommend to create backup copies.
