Bypassing the save dialog box on exit from a ScriptedLoadableModule

Hi Hina!

I did some work to override the Slicer drag and drop behavior to do something different that I posted about at

Add Drag and drop import to slicelet?

I came across this thread as I was experimenting adding a custom drop action for a custom app using only python. With the code below I was able to redefine the drop action to execute what I put in dropEvent when I dropped a file path instead of the Slicer default of opening the Add Data Dialog. class MyClass(qt.QWidget): def eventFilter(self, object, event): """ Custom event filter for Slicer Main Window. Inputs: Object (QObject), Event (QEvent) """ …

You should be able to use this method for overriding the QMainWindow closeEvent to do your own set of actions instead of the Slicer unsaved changes warning.

Here is some example code that @lassoan then used in the DICOM module to override the regular Slicer drag and drop event behavior.
