[Interest] question for a blocking background thread call

[Scott Bloom]

Well. I 100% totally overthought this... and was able to implement this in about 10 lines of code using a derivation of QProgressDIalog + QtConcurrent

The progress dialog, is run with windowModality set to  Qt::WindowModal,

I overload exec, and launch the function then call QProgressDialog::exec.

Works like charm. Thanks for the advice.

Or any other modal window in front. You probably want to display either a progress bar or a distraction, to let your users know that the application isn't frozen.
