Good question, good answer.

Related, I think:  Is this intended to be different in the future with QML?

>From what I understand, the "imperative-nature" of QPainter (for
QWidget-based applications) is not leveraged-as-much as we go to QML with a
different (Open-GL) rendering engine.

I also understand that effort is in-progress for QML-widgets, including
things like the "file-picker-dialog", for release consideration in Qt 5.1+

Are there any thoughts about explicit export-to-PDF support in Qt 5.1+,
when we have QML-native-widgets?  Will it also be QPrinter/QPainter based?

Sorry to request speculation, I was just curious if I missed the discussion.

Thanks!
