However, due - to it not shipping with Qt, its availability depends on the Symbian - platform in use. If available, it is loaded in preference over the MMF - plugin. The Helix plugin requires Symbian signed capabilities. If the - application does not have those capabilities, the MMF plugin, if present on - the device, will be loaded instead. The capabilities the Helix backend - requires are AllFiles, DiskAdmin and MultimediaDD. */ diff --git a/doc/src/platforms/symbian-support.qdoc b/doc/src/platforms/symbian-support.qdoc index 3c2bbf1..0247bdb 100644 --- a/doc/src/platforms/symbian-support.qdoc +++ b/doc/src/platforms/symbian-support.qdoc @@ -42,95 +42,5 @@ /*! \page symbian-support.html \title Qt for Symbian - \ingroup platform-specific - \brief Information about the state of support for the Symbian platform. - - Qt for Symbian is not yet fully on a par with other platforms with respect - to stability and feature support.
