Hi,
what advantages has an extended slot contrary to a normal slot? I've look at the libraries source code and at your example but I don't have the feeling that the extended slots are much "better" than the normal ones. Is there a special case for the extended slot?
It is there to make the slot's connection available to it in a convenient and thread-safe way. Otherwise, the connection object is not available until after the slot has already been connected (and might get invoked by another thread).
