0ac09c9793cd6d25ef6df14d74fb960529e1b4e3 qt: Do not truncate node flag strings in debugwindow.ui peers details tab. (saibato)
Pull request description:
Fix: When fiddling around with new node flags other than the usual.
I saw that not all possible node flag strings i.e. the UNKNOWN[..] where
visible in peers details tab.
Since v18.2 fixed size was set to 300 and sliding is thereby limited.
A fix on my old linux cruft and small screen was to set minimumSize width to -1 or 0.
Qt will then autosize the slider to the max string length.
Thereby i had full display of all flags inclusive sliding without to fullscreen the window.
Not sure if this is even an issue for those who can afford big screens or high res macs?
Feedback welcome.
BTW: nice side effect now again easy to scroll trough long version names of the node.
can't wait to see strings like /Satoshi:0.23.99/NOX2NOX4NOX32 or what ever fits in the version string.

This directory contains the BitcoinQT graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the cross-platform framework Qt.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions (macOS, Windows, Unix, etc).
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and directories
forms
Contains Designer UI files. They are created with Qt Creator, but can be edited using any text editor.
locale
Contains translations. They are periodically updated. The process is described here.
res
Resources such as the icon.
test
Tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
ClientModel is used by the main application bitcoingui and several models like peertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
A controller. :NAMEpage.cpp generally includes :NAMEmodel.h and forms/:NAME.page.ui with a similar :NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as IDE
You can use Qt Creator as an IDE. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download and install the community edition of Qt Creator. Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.
Instructions for macOS:
- Make sure you installed everything through Homebrew mentioned in the macOS build instructions
- Use
./configurewith the--enable-debugflag - In Qt Creator do "New Project" -> Import Project -> Import Existing Project
- Enter "bitcoin-qt" as project name, enter src/qt as location
- Leave the file selection as it is
- Confirm the "summary page"
- In the "Projects" tab select "Manage Kits..."
- Select the default "Desktop" kit and select "Clang (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)" as compiler
- Select LLDB as debugger (you might need to set the path to your installation)
- Start debugging with Qt Creator (you might need to the executable to "bitcoin-qt" under "Run", which is where you can also add command line arguments)
