Qt ─ how to use enum as the QMimeData type/format

Hello Marek,

First of all, you are probably better of reposting this to the developer list:
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel

But since I am replying already :)

Do we talk about an application internal drag&drop operation here?

In such a case the easiest case might be to store an identifier of some sort 
and let the drop recipient use that to do an look up for the actual object.

In either case this is most likely not related to the Qt meta type system at 
all.

Cheers,
Kevin
