=======================================
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
At the moment one has to specify the LineGroup as string. But one doesn't know what groups exist. So one has to check the Wiki, learn there where the groups are defined and then open the definition file with a text editor.
This PR simplifies this by reading the existing groups out of the definition file and fill the combobox accordingly.
It also give the user info what the selected LineGroup defines via the tooltip.
A nice side effect is that no typos can occur since you don't have to enter the LineGroup name as text.
