To compare if two property contains the same content. The default
implementation in Property uses the persistense interface to save both
properties to string and compares the content. This may not work at the
moment if the property saves content in separate file or in binary.
Various properties have cheaper implementation to direct compare their
internal values.
New property status bit 'CopyOnChange' is added for any document object
to publish any property as a 'Configuration' option. When Link is
linked to any object with such property, it will duplicate those
properties and added it Link itself as dynamic properties. If the user
changes any of these dynamic properties, the Link will auto copy the
linked to object and apply the new configuration to it.
The Link has a new property 'LinkCopyOnChange' to allow user to
enable/disable this feature.
Spreadsheet's 'Configuration Table' feature will publish its
configuration property with 'CopyOnChange'.
Currently, once the linked object is copied, it will be independent with
the original object. There is no mechanism to auto sync changes back to
the copy.
No longer add dynamic property for alias, simply rely on
get(Dynamic)PropertyByName() to check for aliases.
Add new API PropertyContainer::getPropertyNamedList() so that
ExpressionCompleter can discover properties with aliases.
Cell binding allows one to bind a range of cells of one sheet to another
range of cells of an arbitary sheet, including any empty cells in the
range.
The binding is implemented with PropertyExpressionEngine and
PropertySheet::setPathValue(), which binds a special path of
PropertySheet, such as
.cells.Bind.A1.D1
to an expression, such as
tuple(.cells, <<A2>>, <<A5>>)
The A1 and D1 in the example above specifies the binding start and end
cell address. And <<A2>> and <<A5>> are the range of cells to bind to.
Note that you can use any expression that evalutes to string for the
binding destination, e.g. <<A%d>> % B1, which uses the value inside B1
to construct the binding destination. The '.cells' in the tuple shown
above is an example to bind cells of the same PropertySheet. It can be
change to to reference to any other spreadsheet, even those outside the
current document, e.g. Document#Spreadsheet001.cells
For single range copy, the range selection when pasting determines the
start cell and the number of duplications.
For example, when copying a range A1:B2 (i.e. a 2x2 square) and pasting
into a selection of C1:C5 (i.e. a 5x1 vertical line), the square will be
duplicated once in horizontal, but twice in vertical, resulting new
cells range from C1:D4. This logic is borrowed from google sheet.
For multi-ranged copy, no multi duplication is intended. If more than
one selection range exists before pasting, only the top left cell of
the last selected range is used to determine the starting cell for
pasting. The cells will be copied with the exact cell layout keeping any
empty cells in between. This logic is different from google sheet, where
it disallows unalligned multi-ranged copy, and will condense and
eliminate any empty cells for aligned multi-range copy.
- The thread must not be deeper than the hole.
(One could see that if one used a thread depth dimension and set
it to the same value than the hole depth, the thread was too deep.)
- no keyboard tracking
- don't disable labels since we don't do this for the other dialog labels
- avoid a doubled word in subsequent labels
- further UI file changes are by Qt's Designer
- actually use specified thread depth, fixes issue reported here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4274#issuecomment-997787744
- fixes 2 UI enabling issues
- the thread depth cannot be longer than the hole depth
- the hole cannot be deeper than the through-all depth
+ it's an obscure way to clear the error state by instantiating PyException, instead use the clear() method
+ do not handle unknown exceptions because this suppresses all exceptions and thus makes error search more complicated
