I introduced FreeCAD to several people and see that especially newbies are confused with all the warnings they get but cannot understand.
The solution was to change that the report view panel is not automatically shown on every warning.
This PR does this.
More experienced users can anytime enable the option. Thus this PR has not much impact but obviously makes life easier for beginners.
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
Make all mentions of `spacemouse` in the code a single word (with no whitespace) so we can parse the source code more accurately to find mentions of it if necessary.
* Replace deprecated qt functions toList() & toSet()
QSet<QString>::toList() and QStringList::toSet() are both
deprecated.
* Add back support for qt < 5.14
