========================================
Parameter "NotificationAreaEnabled" can be used to completely disable the Notification Area.
If disabled it won't appear on the UI at all and no non-intrusive notification will be generated.
=======================================
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
* On lines where the variable type is obvious from inspection, avoid repeating the type using auto.
* When possible use a ranged for loop instead of begin() and end() iterators
Added a preference switch to enable the use of the Help module.
Doing this before the release so users of 0.20 will be able to
use the Help module when it's ready
This avoids code duplications and makes sure the group name is used only once.
The parameters are saved to the group 'PythonConsole' instead of 'General'.
* Fix lost filename in err msg
In some circumstances, FileExceptions are constructed empty, then have a
filename assigned to them, but the error message in these scenarios is
left as the default "unknown" one, which is sometimes shown to users.
This change fixes that case to be consistent with instances that are
constructed with the filename.
The exception can happen when trying to save the file in a location that does
not exist, or when the user does not have permission to write there. If it
comes when saving after closing the document, all previous changes can be lost.
Partially fixes issue #4098.
