I too read that somewhere

This though, I hadn't noticed yet.

OK, but I'm guessing declaring and registering are two different things, otherwise this error:
QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QBluetoothDeviceInfo'
(Make sure 'QBluetoothDeviceInfo' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)
Wouldn’t be raised.

Yes, it doesn't change a thing.

So the signals that are received by the slots are processed.
I'm guessing this question is a hint towards my suboptimal usage of the moveToThread()-approach.
I wanted to have as minimal differences between both of the implementations as possible...
