Qt Design Studio 4.8.3 Is Here!
Qt Design Studio 4.8.3 is a maintenance release that builds on foundations of 4.8.2: a round of improvements to the Figma design workflow from both ends of the pipeline, fixes to property editing for Qt for MCUs projects, and a refreshed set of AI models.
Qt Bridge
The Qt Bridge importer now retains the settings from your last import, remembering both the import options and the path, so bringing in an updated design no longer means re-entering the target directory and re-picking your options every time. Alongside that, a handful of correctness fixes improve the QML that comes out of an import: colors are no longer added to plain Items, master components get proper default values for aliasing, inner attached property overrides are no longer propagated since QML does not support this, and imported UIID names no longer get an _instance suffix appended.
Figma Bridge
The Figma Bridge gains partial export, so an export no longer has to cover the whole document. You pick the frames you want, which means there is no need to restructure a Figma project around the export step. Text styles are preserved rather than reverting to defaults on the way across, the default Rectangle supports multiple radii to match what Qt Quick's Rectangle already offers, and imports can now be changed in bulk across a multi-selection instead of component by component.
Qt for MCUs Property Editing
Two properties that were available in Qt Quick Ultralite but greyed out in the Properties tab are now editable for Qt for MCUs projects: Text.lineHeight and rotation. Both can be set directly in Qt Design Studio instead of by hand in the code editor.
Latest AI Models in the Assistant
The MCP-based AI Assistant now ships with an updated model line-up across all three supported providers. From Anthropic you get Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 joining Claude Haiku 4.5. Google is represented by Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite alongside Gemini 3.1 Pro, and OpenAI by GPT 5.6 Sol, GPT 5.6 Terra and GPT 5.6 Luna alongside GPT 5.5. Models come pre-configured, so you only need to add your API key, and you can still switch between providers and models in the middle of a conversation without reconfiguring anything.
Security update
OpenSSL, which is used by the MCP server, has been updated to version 3.5.7 to address a possible security vulnerability.
