Software Layout (Multithreading, QWorkspace, Fileoperations)

[Daedalus]

To give a bit more background:

Some software writes all clients to a csv file. Then creates a subdir with clients name and puts a logfile there (also csv-based). I'd like my application to be able to open a single TableView for each of these logfiles in the workspace.

So for every selected client, a new analysis-widget will be opened and filled from the corresponding logfile .

I hope, this explains the purpose somewhat better.

You could do it without threads at all... If you process files chunk by chunk, you can iterate all open files and do everything without blocking the GUI for too long.

It turned out, that I need an importer-thread, because the files may be quite large( processing takes about one minute for a 75MB file, but time is not a vital factor here). But wysota's chunk-hint gave me the idea of simply checking an "abort"-Variable and taking all necessary measures, before calling exit(), resp. terminate() if it turns out to be needed, after every processed chunk of data.

Seems to work, thanks
