hi 2 all, one of my killer apps on nokia n900 was portabase, a really very useful database application. homepage: /http://portabase.sourceforge.net/ it is written in QT4. License is GPLv2. Is it very difficult to do a port on sailfishOS? i'm not a programmer, so i can only help only a little doing this. bit i would do what i can ... yours HBG

hi 2 all, portabase will be ported to QT5 by the author himself. i will ask him whether he will provide a SFOS version. is anybody here who can do this job ?

No. QT4 doesn't run on Wayland plus it will probably need a big overhaul to adapt it to SFOS.
You can always file an app-request (that will have the same functionality) here in TJC and if a dev finds it interesting it might write one.
I had a look. It should be doable. Now the small problem of getting some time. The apo really looks like something that will add value to sailfish.
