[Interest] Where to catch exception when a qml plugin is loaded? Even possible?

Smart Pointer, RAII.....
Not a problem at all.

Sorry, I did a boo boo and 'answered' the an exiting thread.
init method isn't a very good solution. The ImageModel is a C++ class,
which is used as plugin for QML. When I call init from QML, which
would be possible, I still would not be able to catch exception.

Currently I am investigating methods to determine and to act on
QML plugins when their construction fails.
