MainWindow is a giant monolithic mess

[annejan]

I have started a new branch to at-least get the QProcess and QSettings handling out of there for now.
Refactoring turned out to be harder than I expected because of the spaghetti mess the configuration and process handling has become.
Adding features is so much nicer than creating an architectonically correct app.

I would actually think it's probably wise to first brainstorm about an optimal way of handling QtPass from an architectural perspective.

If anyone has any ideas about this (or would like to flowchart something together) I'd be more than thankful.

This is also an issue to gather my progress reports, I might create a new branch to do some refactoring instead of continuing with the https://github.com/IJHack/qtpass/tree/feature/refactoring branch.

It's probably off-topic but if you start refactoring the code it would be worth thinking about using libgit and GPGME for the native git/gpg part instead of calling the binaries directly.

[annejan]

Not off-topic at all I'll have a look at GPGME as soon as I can . .
Since the early tests with using a GPG library didn't work so well with passphrases, tokens and cards.
I'm hoping that PGPME does give the level of abstraction the binary gives, but with a bit more flexibility.

Maybe it would be handy, if some elements of mainwindow.cpp such as the treeview get their own subclasses, as this would make it easier to implement special features

Something went wrong here in checkConfig..
