Forum #3186 / issue #850: a user who has built up conductor and element
numbering rules in one project has no way to reuse them in the next one.
The only answer today is to open both .qet files in a text editor and copy
the XML across by hand.
Adds an "Import from another project..." button to the auto-numbering page
of the project properties dialog. It offers every numbering found in the
chosen file, per category, with names that already exist here unticked by
default and a "replace same-named numberings" option for when that is what
the user wants.
The source file is parsed as plain XML rather than opened as a QETProject.
Opening it would run the whole load path, including the modal dialog raised
for a file written by a different version of QElectroTech -- a dialog the
user has no reason to see, since nothing but the <newdiagrams> block is
being read.
Two supporting changes:
- readValuesFromProject() clears the three combo boxes before filling
them. It only ran once before; it now runs again after an import, and
without the clear every name appeared twice.
- FolioAutonumberingW::setContext() likewise replaces its list instead
of appending to it. It has a single caller, the line above.
This deliberately does not attempt the project-template feature also raised
on the forum thread. That needs decisions about where templates live and
what else they carry, and is better settled in a discussion first.
