[Development] QQmlAbstractUrlInterceptor

[Mitch Curtis]

Andy just pointed me towards this:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56209

I guess making it public would work too, and might even be the better option if people are already using it (unofficially) anyway.

Either way, both need to be public or private.

I would be for that, considering there doesn't seem to have been a clear reason for making it public in either the commit message or docs.

Hi,



I don't know either to be honest, this was a long time ago it seems. Perhaps we should consider marking the class \internal, as its "setter" on QQmlEngine is \internal, too.



The feature that is public and document and that uses QQmlAbstractUrlInterceptor under the hood is QQmlFileSelector.

While looking into https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65444, I noticed that QQmlAbstractUrlInterceptor is a public class with documentation that doesn't really explain how to use it. See my comment here:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65444?focusedCommentId=385687&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-385687

Here's an old mailing list thread I found about it:

http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-July/011914.html

Why was a public class added that can seemingly only be used with private API? Why did it have to be made public? And why doesn't the documentation actually explain how to use it?
