[Interest] QML and Threads

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I have been building a complex UI based on a data model that didn’t required threading. All the things could happen in the UI thread.

Now I’m adding to that model a functionality that works under time critical events that can’t be compromised by UI interactions. This is specially true on mobile devices where the computing power is not abundant.

As far as I know and from my testings, I can't expose to QML objects that are on a different than the GUI. 

Before advancing to a major refactor where all the time sensitive parts are running on a different thread and asynchronously updating it’s state to the UI thread, I would like to have your opinion about it.

Is this my only option? Keep a clone model of my data on a different thread and respond to it’s updates on the UI thread?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Nuno
