Hello RL,

I need some guidelines about whether should I update the QT Creator or not.
I get the message that a new version is available but i have no idea whether by updating it I will break the compatibility with Python API system,
Perhaps it will not, because at the end the file is a XML-like piece of text, with some strings identifying the various widgets, and I do not expect to see differences there, but who knows ?
Can you let me know what should I do ?

Thanks
Regards

I think it's best to follow the API requirements page. Ex:
http://manual.reallusion.com/iClone/script/python/
Say you should have QT 5.6.2
Then you should aim to have that version. There is no point to update for two reasons.
1# Because that could break your .ui files so they become incompatible with the current API.
2# The new features in QT will not matter. Because the API is not designed to use the new features.

My recommendation is to stick with the recommended version.

Yes, please stay on 5.6.2, this is the version iClone using. If you using another version we can't guarantee compatibility.
