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).
* [TD]add method to clean win filespecs
- '\' in strings passed to Python as filespecs is interpreted as
an escape of the following character.
- replace '\' with '/'
* [TD]remove '\' from filespecs before use
* [TD]Add view snapping preferences
* [TD]fix section snapping algo
- snap sections to section normal line.
- snap views to other views in X&Y
* [TD]fix snapping to ProjectionGroups
=======================================
Refactor:
- Substitute the use of variadic templates with parameter packs.
- Use recently incorporated external library "fmt" to handle printf like formating.
- Extensive cleaning of pragmas and unnecessary forward declarations.
- Parameter packs and libfmt provide a much stronger type checking now, so
conversions that are by standard implicit as bool to int need an explicit static_cast
to avoid compilation warnings.
Extension:
- Include a notifier field, so that the originator of the message can be provided. E.g. Document#DocumentObject
- Include a new type of message called CriticalMessage, this message is intended to have
special behaviour in the future. Namely, it will be used to notify forward compatilibity issues.
It will be used to substitute the current signal/slot mechanism.
- Include two new types of messages for user notifications (Notification and TranslatedNotification). This messages
will be use to convey UI notifications intended for the user (such as non-intrusive message about the usage of a tool). There
are two versions to mark whether the string provided as a message is already translated or not. When using the console system for
notifications, these notifications may originate from the App or the Gui. In the former, it is generally the case that the strings
of messages are not (yet) translated (but they can be marked with QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP). In the latter, often the messages to be provided
are already translated.
Python support for CriticalMessage, Notification and TranslatedNofification, including shortcuts:
Crt = FreeCAD.Console.PrintCritical
Ntf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintNotification
Tnf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintTranslatedNotification
* [TD] remove unused headers
- also some sorting
- also improve readability by not using an abbreviation (we consistently don't abbreviate class names)
- separate validation, geometry and reference handling into
individual files
- improve 3d reference geometry handling
- eliminate duplicate dim creation code
- add Dimension reference repair dialog
- Refactor formatting out of DrawViewDimension
- move dimension repaint control to ViewProvider
- add preview/live update to TaskSectionView & TaskComplexSection
- add view direction selector to uis
- use SectionNormal as Direction. Make Direction read-only
- simplify section line end point calculation
- section group command in toolbar
- make section and complex section icons consistent
- fix compsolid cutting tool
- terminology: single/piecewise to offset/aligned
