Controllers don't have any GUI and don't depend on the frontend
technology.
Views are implemented in a specific GUI tech (QtWidgets, QtQuick, etc).
For now only QtWidgets work. There's still a lot to decouple.
This will make it easier to introduce non-Qt backends.
You can now set an arbitrary widget as "central widget".
It's similar to MainWindowOption_HasCentralFrame, however the widget
won't be detachable and won't show tabs.
Similar to what you'd get with QMainWindow central widget concept.
Example:
QWidget *myWidget = new MyWidget();
mainWindow->setPersistentCentralWidget(myWidget);
Fixes#225
The first enumerator is "Skip", meaning the dock widget won't
be affected by save/restore. It won't disappear while restoring,
and won't be shown if already hidden. (only applies to floating widgets)
The layouting was becoming too complex to maintain and to introduce
new features. Was even buggy, the fuzzer was constantly finding
bugs, which took hours to workaround.
Problem with the old layout engine is that there was a catch 22, between
Items driving the separators, and separators driving the anchors.
The new layout is much simpler, both in implementation and conceptually.
There's simply a recursive hierarchy of Item elements. An Item can either
have a QWidget to show, or be a ItemContainer, which contains Item children,
and so forth. Each ItemContainer is either vertical or horizontal. That's enough
to represent the "nested multi-splitter" concept which KDDW uses.
After each item insertion/deletion/resize, the separators are regenerated. They
are essentially dumb now.
TODO:
- Separators are drawn, but are not interactive yet
- There's 5 tests failing
- LayoutSaver scalling functionality
Same for restore.
This is better API as LayoutSaver shouldn't be concerned about
QSettings. It also assumed the user only had a single layout, which
is normally not the case.
And finally, storing escaped json in .ini files is not very elegant.
By default a dock widget can dock into any main window.
With affinities, we can now have a dock widget "belong" to a main window
and only be able to dock into it (or into other floating dock widgets
with the same affinity).
See DockWidgetBase::setAffinity() and MainWindowBase::setAffinity().
