Both plugins passes information in signals params. This is unified. But only in ComposeWidget.cpp code I need sender() because pointer of Job is removed from queue. This is needed because ComposeWidget had sync API for completion and it was not easy to rewrite code to use new async addressbook job without sender().

Now I took a second look. I was under impression that you followed Kevin's advice about always including the Job *job parameter in the jobs' signals. However, looking at the actual code now (pali/pali-gsoc:src/Plugins/AddressbookPlugin.h, pali/pali-gsoc:src/Plugins/PasswordPlugin.h), it looks like these parameters were removed. Is that right? If yes, why did you remove them? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious.

And then I remove description from trojita settings.

Thanks for this.

I do not like this automagic idea of selecting plugins. I bet that in some specific situation & configuration it will not work as user expect...

That's a very good point -- shipping a code which is as robust as possible makes a lot of sense, and limitting needless options is a way to increase this robustness. However, in this situation, I'm worried about whether the plugins will get any usage when they are disabled by default.

What do you propose?

I only need unique qstring identifier for each account. And this string needs to be passed to each PasswordJob operation.

So until multiple account support is there, I can use unique string "1" (now it is username). And then when multiple accounts will be there you will pass account identifier instead "1". Ok?

Ah, I was under impression that the password backends actually could make use of some better-structured data, like "this is a password for *John* for his *IMAP* account at *example.org*". If this is wrong, i.e. if the backends don't care about this data then, an "account ID" is enough.

Cheers,
Jan
