I've been trying to get the main GUI thread to pass a URL to a worker thread and have it download that (without the GUI thread blocking). I haven't been able to do it successfully, i've tried all manner of connects/postEvents. Here is a simplified example:
http://rafb.net/p/etOoSH97.html In the example i'm trying to get the main thread to cause the MyThread instance to sleep without blocking the main thread. In MyThread.run I call MyThread.foo (which blocks for 5 seconds) without a problem - the GUI thread isn't being blocked. When I try to get the main thread to indirectly invoke foo (via emitting a signal that the thread listens for, or by posting an event that MyThread picks up in customEvent), then the GUI thread blocks. It's quite crippling. What's the correct way to go about this?
