It merely blocks because the API is synchronous and thus we create a nested eventloop.<br />

<p>I don't use any threading (unless I'm missing something)? I just rewrote it to remove the nested event loop and instead use the normal one, and switched from a mutex to a lockfile (I feel that is more appropriate for this usecase, QSaveFile is more for data integrity and not racing between applications in my head at least).</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R292 KUnitConversion</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D28770">https://phabricator.kde.org/D28770</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>sandsmark, ngraham, Frameworks, broulik<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>broulik, ngraham, kde-frameworks-devel, Frameworks, LeGast00n, cblack, michaelh, bruns<br /></div>
