[QGIS-Developer] Catch qgis exit

[Jan Růžička]

Thank you. As you wrote, the problem is that this works only for the
Widged of the plugin. There is not a way to override the closeEvent()
method of the main QGIS Window from the plugin, since the plugin has only
an interface given by the QGIS.

I have decided to use the workaround for now, so when the QGIS is closed it
will start again. The solution is not so perfect, but at least it is a
solution.

Another way to do this is to rewrite C++ code. The code is not so
complicated and I can rewrite it, but then I have to build QGIS for all
police stations and keep it updated and it is not so simple for me.

Thank you again
