[Qt-creator] Fwd: Re: Signal and sloteditor is not available in the beta version

[Ernst Huber]

Having the Signal/Slot editor accessible in the IDE would be very good. 
There are situations one cannot modify existing connection lines by 
double clicking them in Creators "edit signal/slot" mode and one must 
use standalone Designer for modifications. Its quite easy to get stuck - 
just one example here: Place a QDockWidget at the left or right side of 
a main window, put a QScrollArea in the dock widget which covers the 
whole client area of the dock widget and finally place some other 
controls (widgets such as buttons, comboboxes, etc.) in the scroll area. 
Establishing connections between the controls initially isn't  a 
problem, but you won't be able to select an existing connection and thus 
having it turned into red for editing - it's always the underlying 
scroll area that gets red and thus gains focus. The signal/slot editor 
would definitely facilitate changing signals and/or slots of existing 
connections where it otherwise wouldn't be possible in the IDE.

Ernst
