    @HaoTian Indeed, you are correct. This, for example, works:

    #include <QCoreApplication>
    #include <QObject>
    #include <QList>
    #include <QDebug>
    #include <QTimer>
    
    class Object: public QObject {
            Q_OBJECT
    public:
            Object(QObject *p = nullptr): QObject(p) {
                    QTimer::singleShot(
                                    5000, this,
                                    [this]() { emit send(QList<float> { 0, 1.2, 2.3, 3.4 } ); }
                    );
            };
            ~Object() { }
    
    public slots:
            void receive(QList<float> list) {
                    qDebug() << list;
            }
    signals:
            void send(QList<float> list);
    
    };
    
    
    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
            QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
    
            Object *a = new Object(qApp);
            Object *b = new Object(qApp);
            QObject::connect(a, &Object::send, b, &Object::receive);
    
            return app.exec();
    }
    
    #include "main.moc"
    

    So, @micha_eleric, what are you not telling us? Are there threads involved? Can you modify the example above to fail in the same way?

    @ChrisW67 it is with threads, and the only place I have seen

    QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QList<float>'
    (Make sure 'QList<float>' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)
    

    show while running

      First you should get your code compiling and running correctly as per @ChrisW67. You will need to use the Q_OBJECT macro., and you should use connect() syntax shown, not SIGNAL/SLOT() macros.

      But you may end up needing to reconsider your array/list arguments to the signal/slot. I assume you are signalling across threads. Qt will copy any arguments. If your array is "large" or if you intend to update the array in the slot (not just read from it) you may/will need to reconsider.

          been asked this before, and still no clue how to find out. All I can find is the version of the editor.

                That sounds very strange.

                What do you see when you try Step #2 in the instructions?

                    This is meaningless. It's the Qt version which was used to build your QtCreator version.

                    How are your build folders named? In some case they are named by default like:
                    build_<Projectname>_<QtX_X_X>_<Compiler>_<Architecture>

                    There you also can find out what Qt version you are using

                            @micha_eleric If you are on Ubuntu 22.04 (a guess on my part), have not installed a Qt version separately from that installed by Ubuntu, and everything is up-to-date then you are using Qt 5.15.3.

                            Open a terminal and type qmake -v

                                in .h file, but only in one .h file

                                Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QList<qfloat16>)
                                
                                
                                //data
                                int id;
                                

                                in .cpp file, constructor

                                id = qRegisterMetaType< QList<qfloat16> >();

                                  Qt Creator 6.0.2
                                  Based on Qt 5.15.3 (GCC 11.2.0, 64 bit)

                                  This is meaningless. It's the Qt version which was used to build your QtCreator version.

                                  How are your build folders named? In some case they are named by default like:
                                  build_<Projectname>_<QtX_X_X>_<Compiler>_<Architecture>

                                  There you also can find out what Qt version you are using

                                  again nothing of use, "build-GraphicsView-Desktop-Debug"

                                    @micha_eleric If you are on Ubuntu 22.04 (a guess on my part), have not installed a Qt version separately from that installed by Ubuntu, and everything is up-to-date then you are using Qt 5.15.3.

                                    Open a terminal and type qmake -v

                                    QMake version 3.1
