[Qgis-developer] Use of autoconnect slots?

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi,

+1 for explicitly defining connections and slots

While I like the ease of having Qt Creator's Designer auto-create the slot
in the class's header for me, I find auto-connected slots are often
problematic when doing complicated set up of a GUI widget, leading to extra
usage of obj::blockSignals(), as opposed to explicitly setting up a
connection at the right time in program flow.

I also think it blurs the separation of declaration and definition, putting
actionable code in a header file that is not just a simple assignment, etc.

I also prefer to not leave connections in UI files, unless they are vey
simple cross-widget communication that would usually never be manually
fussed with, like wiring standard default button actions to a dialog
closure, etc. Because, it is so very easy to set up those types of
connections in Designer/Creator.

That said, I'm OK with a policy of no connections in UI files.
