1. Area of concern
I find myself wanting to know the area of rectangular things a lot. For Sizes
and Rects: it's abs(width()*height()), but Rects might also have a offset from
the origin.
Either way, I was wondering why this was not added to Qt already? When working
with images, it gives things like pixel counts and
2. Path to enlightenment
I often miss Node and Python that has a path appender. This could have been
tedious in the past but in C++11, QDir::join({parts, of, a, path, and,
filename}) (declared as static QDir::join(const QStringList& parts);)
I'm aware that Qt makes file path delimiters OS-agnostic, but I find myself
missing the construct as a logical concept. Also consider:
source = "file://" + appPath+ "/" + filename
which becomes:
source = QDir::join({"file://", appPath, filename})
which I would argue is slightly more readable. While Url* at it, maybe one for
QUrl as well? (Not sure how to handle scheme/protocol.)
