What is the best practice for naming the two executables, since they are built to the same directory? I've seen or done some of...
Approaches / libraries for resize dragging
I'm currently working on a WYSISYG editor that allows the user to move, resize and rotate shapes by directly manipulating them. The resizing seems to be fairly complex when the shape is rotated.

Integration of Python console into a GUI C++ application
I'm going to add a python console widget (into a C++ GUI) below some other controls: Many classes are going to be exposed to the python code, including some access to GUI (maybe I'll consider PyQt). Should I run the Python code in a separate thread? I think it's a good approach, because GUI won't be frozen while executing long co...
