Sorry, just saw your other post about these being easy to forget (it was 
flagged as spam again).

You originally wrote:

/In order to avoid calling qRegisterMetaType() in main() (with the 
possibility of forgetting to do so,) I instead call it before the 
program enters main(), in the implementation file of whoever is the

Isn't that just as easy to forget?


Anyway I guess the question has been answered.
