I would very much appreciate having it promoted as a proper part of Qt, either in qtbase or as a separate module. Another advantage of that will be its inclusion in bindings packages, such as PyQt. > qt-solutions.git seems a place where deprecated components are kept alive, > but > not experiencing feature development in my book. One potential problem with that code is that QtLockedFile from QtSolutions duplicates the functionality of QLockFile in qtcore (introduced in Qt 5.1). The QtSingleApplication will probably need to be ported to QLockFile instead. -- Dmitry Shachnev
