I couldn't find anything with a quick search). If there are slight behavior differences, then there might be a risk that we will see regressions. Since it is basically impossible to test the effect of all connections exhaustively, and I don't know exactly what the behavior difference is and if it could cause trouble, I'm not sure if we should really do an automated conversion of all connect statements. Maybe one should discuss this issue (which will be of interest not only to Dolphin, but also to many other apps and to KF5 itself) on the kde-frameworks mailing list?

In principle, it should be easy to find out which connections don't work and cause Dolphin to not show any files because there is a runtime warning for each failed connect call, right?
I didn't see see Thiago's message since I am not subscribed to kfm-devel. From what I saw in the Qt documentation I always assumed they were equivalent (except for not allowing default arguments in the slot), which other differences exist?
The reason I changed it all to the new syntax was in order to get an error at compile time instead of at runtime. Fixing all theses issues when they occur at runtime sounds rather painful to me since it may only happen after pressing a certain button or navigating to a special folder. Obviously it is easy to fix due to the runtime warning, however it may require quite a few iterations.
With the new syntax I didn't find any issues in my (admittedly light) testing by browsing through a few folders.

Will have to investigate more how this can be fixed. This issue affects middle mouse clicking on any toolbar button. Other than that dolphin seems to work fine.
