The dialogs are parented to the main window, which means sip
transfers the ownership to the main window - and they are
never deleted as a result. This results in various error
messages caused by the widgets hanging around forever
and listening out for various signals they are connected to.
This somewhat changes the meaning of outputs from processing 2.x.
In 2.x processing outputs were used both as a method of specifying
inputs to algorithms (file paths to destination layers created
by the algorithm) AND pure outputs (such as statistics calculated
by the algorithm).
This is now split. The old input-type-outputs (destination layers)
are now input parameters (since the parameter value IS an input to the
algorithm). To differentiate them from parameters indicating pure
input layers a new "isDestination()" method was added to
QgsProcessingParameterDefinition.
Output definitions are now purely indications of values CREATED
by the algorithms. Suitable candidates are the existing calculated
stats and actual file path/URI of any layers created by the algorithm.
Moving forward we should ensure all algorithms output as much
useful information as possible - e.g. number of features processed,
number of skipped features, count null geometries encountered, etc...
Intended as a registry for the various processing components,
including providers, algorithms and various parameters and outputs.
Currently handles only registration of providers, as a step toward
removing processing's algList (this requires first porting
the algorithm class to c++)
A QgsProcessingRegistry instance is attached to QgsApplication,
and is retrieved by QgsApplication::processingRegistry()
The existing polygoncentroids algorithm has been deprecated
(and hidden from the toolbox), and a new, generic centroids
algorithm added which works with lines and multipoints
