Unparented popups can easily get lost in backround, but they still block top level event loop when run with ::exec() thus preventing interactions with main window. This mainly happens on wayland. Setting the parent ensures they are always kept on top and reasonably positioned.

Convenience helpers function Tools::toStdString and Tools::fromStdString
were implemented for Qt4 or older to perform utf8 aware conversion as
QString::toStdString/QString::fromStdString were using toAscii/fromAscii
internally (see https://dreamswork.github.io/qt4/classQString.html).
Since Qt5 QString uses toUtf8/fromUTf8, which makes the helper functions
obsolete (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#fromStdString).
