[Digikam-devel] Re: Logic error

[Andi Clemens]

Actually it doesn't hurt to declare all qobject based classes with a virtual 
destructor, in Qt source this is done for all derived classes, not only in the 
base class.
I will first add the virtual keyword to all the qobject based classes, if 
there are still warnings, I will take a look at all the other classes and add 
the keyword accordingly.
