[Marble-devel] Marble Declarative plugin extension for making QML interface for plugin settings

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi Anton,

this matches indeed nicely with my work on the QML layers. I'm wondering 
if it wouldn't be easier to avoid using the wrapper object 
(DeclarativeRenderPlugin) here and instead return the RenderPlugin as is 
- possibly extending them by the needed Q_PROPERTY declarations and 
maybe making some methods Q_SLOTS (or marking them Q_INVOKABLE, I prefer 
slots though).
Oh, and as this looks like it should end up as a review request, can you 
please use foo() instead of getFoo() for getters? We're trying to be 
close to the Qt API.

Regards,
Dennis
