PicardQt is a new version of [[Picard Tagger|PicardTagger]], written using [http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt Qt] as the GUI toolkit. It also includes implementations of a few new ideas, such as [[Intuitive Picard Interface|IntuitivePicardInterface]] or [[Tagger Script|TaggerScript]].

</ul>

===Latest Testing Release===

* [http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users/luks/picard-qt/picard-setup-0.9.0alpha2.exe Windows Installer] (6.5M)
* [http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users/luks/picard-qt/picard-0.9.0alpha2.tar.gz Source Code Tarball] (209K)

===Development Source Code===

The source code is maintained in a [http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar] branch at [http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port]. To download it you need to install Bazaar and run: <pre>bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port picard-qt
</pre>

If you already have the branch and want to update it, use: <pre>bzr pull
</pre>
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">'''Ubuntu Feisty''': To get the right bazaar version, install package ''bzr'', not ''bazaar''. To build picard-qt from the source, you need to:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><code><nowiki>sudo apt-get install g++ python-dev libexpat-dev python-qt4 python-mutagen</nowiki></code>
</ul>For all optional features (I think), add: <code><nowiki>sudo apt-get libavformat-dev libofa0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg</nowiki></code> (This is from my experience, feel free to add anything else you notice. --[[User:Bogdanb|Bogdanb]])
</ul>

==Installation From Source Code==

To run Picard you need at least:
* [http://www.python.org/ Python]
* [http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/ PyQt] (4.1 with Qt 4.2 or newer)
* [http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/Development/Mutagen Mutagen] (1.9 or newer)

Optionally also:
* [http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libdiscid libdiscid] (and [http://python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/ ctypes] if you use Python 2.4) for CD lookups
* [http://www.musicdns.org/downloads libofa]
* [http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ libavformat/libavcodec]
* [http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ DirectX SDK]

Once you have installed the requirements, you can compile the C extensions:

<pre>python setup.py config
<edit build.cfg if neccessary>
python setup.py build_ext -i
</pre>

And now you can start Picard:

<pre>python tagger.py
</pre>

==Mac OS X Installation Notes==

A rough installation guide is available here: [[Mac OSX Picard Qt Installation Guide|MacOSXPicardQtInstallationGuide]]

The Apple supplied python 2.3 in OSX 10.4.x will not work with picard, and some of the dependencies listed above expect a framework version of python. [http://pythonmac.org/packages/ http://pythonmac.org/packages/] provides a framework python 2.4 which seems to work.
