Dev: Deleting pyqt objects?

[real-yfprojects]

Why do you delete pyqt objects? As far as I know garbage collections will do the job. @m3nu

I am especially interested in this case:

vorta/src/vorta/application.py

Lines 112 to 117 in f4a85e8

	def quit_app_action(self):
	self.backup_cancelled_event.emit()
	del self.main_window
	self.tray.deleteLater()
	del self.tray
	cleanup_db()

[real-yfprojects]

By the way, is it intended that the method above is never called at all?

[m3nu]

It's called here via a signal: self.aboutToQuit.connect(self.quit_app_action)

The cleanup and deletion of objects is needed to avoid a segfault when quitting the app. Python does NOT properly clean up all Qt objects by itself. At least on in v5.
