All about Valentina project community activities.
As you may know, we have launched a new website. You are right on it. We can now not only provide you with the latest Valentina version to download, but also support our project by purchasing our products. But we don’t want to stop there, so we want to offer you something else.
Sooner or later, every product starts being compared with the competitors. And it seems that we, too, are slowly approaching this point. I would like to share my thoughts on this. I’d like to say right away that this is not a comparison of solutions from other manufacturers with Valentina. Rather a short commentary.
Modern versions of Windows have a built-in security system which checks that executable files are digitally signed. These signatures help identify the program’s origin and also help protect the program files from tampering. Previously, Valentina was also distributed with a developer’s signature, and now we have lost that capability. In this article, we’ll talk about why this has happened and the implications for Valentina users.
In the distant past, when the mouse had not yet been invented, interaction with the computer took place solely through the keyboard. Much time has passed since then. And systems such as Windows and Mac OS have popularised the use of the mouse to interact with the graphical interface. In today’s world, we can’t imagine using a PC without a mouse. So many programs rely on it. Valentina is no exception in this case.
However, old ideas don’t disappear, just new ones are added on top of them. So keyboard skills are just as relevant today. What separates the professional from the amateur is the ability to work with keyboard shortcuts.
This post is a logical continuation of our previous talk about why Valentinа is free. In it, we tried to calculate the real price of owning the program. And today we’ll talk about how you can lower that price.
We use the Transifex service to translate Valentina’s interface. In this article you will learn how to join the translation team and help translate.
From time to time, questions arise about how to make requests for new functions. In the previous article, we already touched upon the subject of new function requests. In this one, we will take a closer look at the algorithm.
Why is Valentina free? From time to time, this is the question people ask themselves when they first learn about the project. Why indeed? And is it really so? Let’s find out.
