0000491: Property inspecting systems reworking

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:01:08 +0000

This was one of the first pieces of code I have written for CEED and even though it's a decent design, it needs some reworking.

First, what is a property mapping:
=================================
It's a mapping from CEGUI property (which means property name, property data type and property origin) to a property inspector - a mechanism able to visualize and edit data stored in the property. Because CEGUI is very flexible, it should be possible to map everything to anything, but of course some inspectors will be suggested (based on the data type).
I also plan to ship CEGUI 0.8 stock mappings that will map properties of the stock widgets and mappings per stock skin that map specific falagard properties of the skins.

There are several decisions to be made:
* Should it use the persistent settings API and interface?
I personally think it should not be done with the settings API as it is to be shared by all team members working on the same project (they are likely to use the same widgets).

* What if there is a property that doesn't have a mapping?
IMO the editor should pop a modal dialog letting you choose which inspector should be mapped to that precise property. Things that have the same data type will be bold and appear first in the list.

* What if I am not happy with the mapping?
The ability to edit existing mappings (or even remove them) will not be readily available (as the new mapping feature will be). You will have to go to some sort of a settings dialog to view and edit them. I don't think this will be an often used feature.

* How to add a new property inspector?
This is an issue I haven't solved yet. Even though the CEED API allows you to plug many things in (even new editors, because I can!), the ability to load external modules is not there yet.

0000709: Create a user manual about what's implemented and won't be changed in the near future (cca 6 months)

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:40:25 +0000

It will be continuously edited after it's created depending on how CEED changes.

0000708: Falagard-Properties-Branch ready for merge

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:23:04 +0000

i make a branch for adding get,set and Iterator functions to the files of LooknFeel. and PropertyDefinitions are know templated.

0000707: Issue with display resize notifications.

0000705: Falagard properties being serialized as PropertyDefinitions, wtf?!

Padres (thanks for the report!) from cegui forum:

Hi!

At first, thank you for your hard work on this editor.

In the newest Snapshot6 release, I noticed one bug with the TaharezLook/ImageButton.
When I edit the ImageButton Hover/Normal/Pushed images in the editor, it's working. However, when I save the layout, the Hover/Normal/Pushed images are not saved correctly.

Here is saved window from Snapshot6:

Code: Select all

and here the same from Snapshot5:

Code: Select all

Also, Is it possible to add an "Event" property to the Window? We use Lua scripting for button press etc., so we just insert

Code: Select all

to the Window and it's calling the function we define...

Thank you!

EDIT: also, in the StaticImage, ImageField, I notice the same bug as described in previous post "Image Field not taking input?".

Thanks goes to Mars_999 for the report!

Well I am not seeing it....

Here is what gets exported when I have .7 selected

0000703: Add FPS to CEGUI Debug Info

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:56:23 +0000

0000702: Exception thrown when animation editor is initialised with no project opened

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:54:19 +0000

It should explicitly require a project opened...

0000696: Dumping CEGUI log into stdout is not a good idea!

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:34:05 +0000

print(..) requires stdout to be a valid file descriptor

This fails when cx_Freezer builds CEED as GUI app on Windows (no console attached). stdout is invalid and python raises exceptions when print is called.

We probably shoud use the logging module and possibly route some of it into some sort of a GUI log browser (View logs?).

0000546: Add compatibility layers able to convert XML layout to C++ and python code

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:33:28 +0000

This can be utilised for a performance boost before shipping.

Converting from C++ and python back to XML would be very complex and IMO shouldn't be part of this ticket (and probably won't ever be done).

Maybe from python to XML it can be done (interpreted inside python) but even that has questionable benefit so I wouldn't bother with it.

0000701: The application doesn't remember it's geometry and state

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:34:24 +0000

The code has been disabled long ago for reasons I am not sure of...

0000700: CEED crashes when quitting and project requiring tabs are opened with changes

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:11:38 +0000

As soon as the do you want to save dialog pops up shows up.

0000699: Animation definitions lack XMLSerializer support

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:25:53 +0000

This is needed for animation editor to be useful at all.

0000647: ExpressionDim fontdim() should allow the "string" parameter for HorzExtent

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:35:24 +0000

The pseudo-function fontdim() doesn't have any overloads that accept the "string" parameter to be used with the horizontal extent measurements, similar to:

0000646: Quaternion property helper should be able to parse degrees too

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:13:58 +0000

Originally suggested on the forums.
Apart from the quaternion format:

it should be possible to parse degrees too:

0000660: Update bundled STB

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:12:54 +0000

Hanmac claims that STB from http://nothings.org/ [^] fixes a memory leak and potentially other things. We should update to it in 0.8 and maybe even in 0.7

0000648: CMake: Enabling ExpressionDim breaks CEGUIBase build

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 09:58:53 +0000

It's broken on Linux too.

0000685: Add support for read-only and write-only properties to property set inspector

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:57:11 +0000

Exceptions are thrown at the moment and CEED assumes it can read from anywhere and write into anything.

0000698: Inject real time pulses to make "ambient" animations work in layout editor

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:49:59 +0000

Currently we inject 1 second after every rendered frame

We should inject before rendering and the proper amount of seconds. If more than 1 second would be injected, we should IMO just inject 1 second to avoid weird jumps.

0000494: Create a video tutorial series about imageset editing

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:16:52 +0000

Once the image create change is done and actions are converted to the new actions with configurable shortcuts, I will make a narrated screencast about how to use all of that.

The key is preventing it to go out of date too soon. I think imageset editing is production ready though, apart from small changes there and there, not much should change in that part of the tool.

0000697: Saving layouts with no root widget raises an exception if compatibility layers are used

0000555: Gesture scrolling in MacOSX zooms in imageset and layout editing modes

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:14:17 +0000

I should investigate how to use the elastic scrolling and differentiate between a mouse wheel scroll and a gesture scroll.

0000569: Dock widget resize handles are super small (OSX)

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:00:57 +0000

It's hard to resize the interface around.

This might not be specific to just the MacOSX!

0000570: cx_Freeze chokes on @loader_path (OSX)

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:00:43 +0000

setup.py build works fine up until the point where PyCEGUI.so has to be copied over

I will have to delve into "man dyld" to fight this I guess.
