   After working with Qt5/6 for a while, I can start to understand the gravitation towards Electron cancer over native toolkits. I've been struggling to ensure the same elements are selected after changing the sort order on a QListView that uses my own QAbstractListModel.

   I posted a question on Stackoverflow, and got a comment asking for a minimal example. It's a pretty complex widget, and when I trimmed down a minimal example, the question got a down vote.

   I've also posted the question on the official QT forums, to get more visibility from actual QT developers.

   Maybe someone on fedi who's familiar with Qt would want to take a stab at it.

     I just have LLMs handle my Qt6 horseshit.

     I won't ever use Electron. If any product of mine ships an Electron app, it will be ancillary to the Qt app.

     I've got qwen-coder, deepseek, llama and a few others running on Ollama and connected to IntelliJ via the Continue plugin, but none of them are going to give my anything useful here. If you look at the minimal example, it will work on just 5~10 files. The issue is with 30~50+ files. Somehow the view isn't ready to have an index set, even though I'm ensuring the model is fully refreshed.
     
     An LLM isn't going to be able to help you find some weird race condition. They're best for simple, know problems or for quick documentation reference.

     I've picked up this bug a few times and have tried a few different things ... I've probably spent a few days on it total. I'm hoping someone in the Qt forum has run into something similar and can just say, "Hey, you need to do x" .. Qt is such a complex framework.

     Have you tried Aider? It keeps an actual map of your program and only includes relevant parts in the context. This makes it way easier to scale to many files.

     Ironically, I split up my files more so this process becomes even easier.

     @djsumdog @r000t I've learned early you don't go on SO to ask questions, only look up answers. It's about as toxic as YT comments.

     It use to be really good. I've had countless questions answered on StackOverflow and have also provided useful answers. My stats on there are pretty high, but I've been using it for over a decade.
     
     Lately it really has gotten a lot worse. Most of the times, I find a solution on my own and answer my own question. On that particular question, some asshat downvoted it, gave me a big irrelevant code review and then had the question closed. I posted a question again with most of that person's changes and they still edited my question instead of proposing any actual answer.
