Replace the white/grey toggle (m_grey_background) with a full color
picker widget (DiagramBgColorToolButton) in the Affichage toolbar,
matching the existing ConductorColorToolButton UX:
- Preset colors: White, Off-white, Light grey, Grey, Dark grey, Black
- Recently used colors section
- "Autre couleur..." opens QColorDialog for any custom color
- "Couleur système" restores the default dark-mode inverted background
New features:
- Diagram::m_custom_background_color flag: when the user picks a
custom color, PaletteGraphicsView skips lightness inversion so the
chosen color is displayed as-is
- Border and titleblock text/lines automatically switch between black
and white based on Diagram::background_color.lightness(), so a dark
background always shows a visible light border and titleblock content
- "Couleur système" restores Qt::white + re-enables inversion
Files changed:
- New: sources/ui/diagrambgcolorbutton.h/.cpp
- sources/diagram.h/.cpp: added static m_custom_background_color flag
- sources/palettegraphicsview.cpp: skip inversion when custom bg active
- sources/bordertitleblock.cpp: adaptive border pen color
- sources/titleblocktemplate.cpp: adaptive ink color for cell borders/text
- sources/qetdiagrameditor.h/.cpp: replace toggle with new widget
- cmake/qet_compilation_vars.cmake: register new source files
An electrician on the forum draws 400 V and 24 V circuits in the same
folio and wants the colour to be one click away
(qelectrotech.org/forum, viewtopic pid=23296). Today the quickest route
is F2, which opens a colour dialog and refuses to act unless exactly one
conductor is selected, so colouring a run means one conductor, one
dialog, at a time.
This adds a swatch button beside the auto-conductor actions. Picking a
colour does two things:
- recolours every conductor currently selected, as ONE undo step;
- becomes the colour of the next conductor drawn, through the
LastUsedStyle mechanism #888 already added and Conductor's
constructor already reads.
Either half is useful alone: with nothing selected it just sets the pen
for what comes next.
The menu lists the colours the trade names -- the three phases, neutral,
earth, and the ones used for control and extra-low-voltage circuits --
then any custom colours picked this session, then the full colour
dialog. A colour already in the standard list is not repeated under
"recently used".
Nothing is written to the project or to QSettings. That is deliberate:
it is the same session-scoped "what did I just use" idea as
LastUsedStyle, so it adds no persisted state and no file-format change.
Named presets stored per project -- what #461 actually asks for -- are a
larger feature that needs a maintainer decision first; the question is
still open on that issue since 21 June.
Verified on a virtual display against examples/Habitat-Schemas_developpes.qet,
reading colours back from the saved project rather than the screen:
select all on folio 1, pick Rouge
21 conductors {none:1, #ff5500:2, #ff0000:6, #00aa00:5, #0000ff:7}
-> all 21 #ff0000
one Ctrl+Z
-> back to the original five-colour mix, exactly
pick Marron with nothing selected, then draw a conductor
-> the new conductor is #7b3f00
ctest 12/12, Qt 6.

Following up on my own comments there: a deliberately small, mostly
read-only scripting surface, exposed to scripts as a single global
`qet` object (QetScriptApi) built on QJSEngine rather than an embedded
Python interpreter -- no new toolchain to package (QJSEngine ships in
every Qt SDK QET already targets, via the Qml module), no GIL, no
version pinning, automatic reflection of the QObject-derived core
classes' own methods with no hand-written binding layer.
## What a script can do
- Read the model: project title, file path, folio count/titles,
element/conductor counts per folio.
- Trigger the same operations the --export-* CLI flags already do
(pdf/png/svg/cables/wires/bom/wiring/nets/links/info), plus
set-titleblock and save -- thin wrappers around CLIExport::run(),
reusing its already-tested logic rather than duplicating it.
Deliberately NOT in this version: creating or editing diagram
geometry, undo integration, driving the GUI. All explicitly out of
scope per the discussion on #162.
## Two entry points, both built and tested
- `qelectrotech --run script.js project.qet` -- headless/CI.
- Projet > "Exécuter un script..." -- an interactive macro against the
currently open project. Export/save calls act on the project's file
on disk (see QetScriptApi's class comment for why), so unsaved GUI
edits aren't visible to the script; save first if that matters.
## Optional dependency, not a hard requirement
Qt::Qml is probed the same way QtPdf already is in this codebase:
QUIET, non-fatal, behind a QET_HAS_SCRIPTING compile definition. A
build without it compiles and links identically; the CLI flag and
menu action are simply absent (main.cpp) or compile to a clear
"not available" stderr message rather than silently disappearing
(qetscripting.cpp), matching the existing QtPdf pattern rather than
introducing a new one.
One real bug caught building this, not assumed away: my first pass
conditionally excluded the new source files from QET_SRC_FILES behind
`if(QET_HAS_SCRIPTING)` inside qet_compilation_vars.cmake -- but that
file is included before QET_HAS_SCRIPTING is set in the top-level
CMakeLists.txt, so the variable didn't exist yet at that point and the
files were silently never compiled, only caught by an undefined-symbol
link error. Fixed by following the QtPdf file's own precedent:
compile the files unconditionally, guard their Qt::Qml-dependent
content internally instead.
## Verified
Qt6, build clean, ctest 6/6.
- Headless: a script reading project/folio/element/conductor counts,
calling exportInfo() and exportPdf() against a real project --
correct JSON, a real single-page PDF confirmed with `file`.
Error paths: a thrown script exception reports file:line:message and
exit 1; missing script/project arguments exit 2 (matching
CLIExport's own usage-error convention); a missing project file is
reported and does not hang.
- Corpus: the same read-model script run against all 24 shipped
example projects, 0 failures.
- GUI: "Exécuter un script..." opens a real file dialog filtered to
*.js, running the picked script against the live open project
produced the exact expected JSON export file, and the application
was still fully responsive afterward.

A placed element is drawn once from its definition at construction --
buildFromXml() only turns terminal/input/dynamic_text tags into live
child objects, every other primitive (line, rect, ellipse, polygon,
arc, text) is pre-rendered into a QPicture by ElementPictureFactory,
cached forever under the element's uuid with no invalidation path
anywhere in the codebase. Edit and save a symbol's drawing and every
already-placed instance keeps showing the old one until the project
is closed and reopened.
Fix, scoped to what is safe to do without ever risking a conductor or
a dynamic text's per-instance state:
- ElementPictureFactory::dropCache(location) forgets the cached
drawing for one location, so the next fetch rebuilds it from the
definition's current content.
- Element::reloadPicture() re-fetches and repaints one instance.
- Projet > "Recharger les dessins des éléments": walks every diagram,
drops each distinct location's cache once, then reloads every placed
instance.
Deliberately does not touch terminals or dynamic texts -- a definition
whose terminal positions moved still needs the existing remove-and-
reinsert workflow, since terminals are what conductors are attached to
and a wrong guess there would silently misconnect wires.
Verified: build clean, ctest 6/6. Triggered the new action on a real,
densely-wired project (76 elements) via exact keyboard-menu navigation
cross-checked against the menu's own addAction order -- ran to
completion, correct confirmation dialog, no crash, diagram unchanged
and uncorrupted afterward. Could not complete a live edit-and-watch-
it-update trace: opening the element editor on a selected item via
GUI automation was unreliable in this environment (same class of
friction as PR #888), and this sandbox has no file-based (common://)
element to mutate on disk as a shortcut -- every example project
embeds its elements. The mechanism itself is traced correct:
ElementsLocation::xml() for an embed:// location reads the project's
live in-memory collection DOM on every call, so a dropped cache
rebuilds from whatever was most recently saved.

Slice 4 of discussion #503, on top of slice 3 (#629): the smallest
surface that makes wiring_list_view visible, plus the diagnostic the
view needs to be honest about what it is missing.
Projet > "Liste de câblage (base de données)" opens a read-only table of
wiring_list_view, headed by a line stating how many conductors are
listed and, when non-zero, how many were excluded and why.
Deliberately not another exporter. QET already ships a wiring-list CSV
export (Projet > Exporter le plan de câblage, and --export-cables) which
walks the project XML; measured on the same projects it produces a row
per conductor and resolves labels correctly when the project has them.
Adding a second, competing CSV would be worse, not better -- the
database path's value is what it unlocks (terminal plans, BOM joins),
not replacing that export.
projectDataBase::excludedConductorCount() counts, from the live scene,
the conductors deliberately absent from the conductor table because a
terminal has no uuid. Counted from the scene precisely because the
database is where those conductors are not. Verified: 671 on
examples/industrial.qet (which has 1794 terminals and no terminal uuids
at all, so its list is empty and now says so), 0 on a project whose
elements do carry terminal uuids.
KNOWN GAP, not fixed here and the reason this is opened for discussion
rather than merge: after a save/reload the component columns are blank
for slave elements. populateElementTable()/populateElementInfoTable()
only insert Simple|Terminal|Master|Thumbnail, so slave elements -- relay
contacts, i.e. a large share of real wire endpoints -- have no row in
element_info for the view to read a label from. Measured on a two-slave-
contact project after reload: element rows 0, element_info rows 0,
terminal rows 2, conductor rows 1; the wire is listed (slice 3's LEFT
JOIN keeps it) but both component names are empty, where the existing
CSV export shows K1 -> K2 for the same file.
Closing that gap means widening a filter shared with the nomenclature
and summary views, which would change what those existing, shipped
features contain. That is a maintainer decision, not one to take
unilaterally inside an additive slice.
Both actions already exist and work; they were simply only reachable from
a toolbar, and those toolbars are user-hideable via Configuration >
Afficher, so hiding one made the feature unreachable entirely.
- "Afficher les guides" (m_draw_guides) goes into the Affichage menu next
to "Afficher la grille". The two are adjacent lines in the view toolbar
and do the same kind of thing, but only the grid had a menu entry.
- "Creation automatique de conducteur(s)" (m_auto_conductor) goes into the
Projet menu. It writes a project setting via
QETProject::setAutoConductor(), so the Projet menu is where a user would
look for it; it is placed with the project properties, above a separator
that keeps the folio operations grouped as before.
Also removes conductor_default and m_project_folio_list from the header.
Both are declared but never allocated and never referenced anywhere in the
tree -- that the build still links is the proof they were dead.
No new strings: both actions already carry translated text.
Found while auditing every QAction against every menu, discussion #677.

RotateSelectionCommand's existing "Pivoter" action (Space) only ever
bumps each selected item's own rotation property -- QGraphicsItem's
setRotation() spins an item around its own local origin and never
touches pos(). Select three elements arranged in a row and rotate:
each spins 90 degrees individually, but the row stays a row. That's
"rotate each item," not "rotate the group."
Add a rotate_as_group parameter to RotateSelectionCommand (default
false, so the existing action and its one call site are unchanged).
When set, it computes a shared pivot once -- the bounding-box center
of the whole selection -- and queues a second, parallel "pos"
QPropertyUndoCommand alongside the existing "rotation" one, rotating
each item's position around that pivot by the same angle.
Scoped the position change to Element/IndependentTextItem/
DiagramImageItem only: these are the only selectable types with
scene-space pos(). ConductorTextItem, DynamicElementTextItem and
ElementTextItemGroup are all parent-relative children (confirmed by
reading their constructors), so when their owning Element is also
selected and gets its own pos() rotated, they're carried along for
free by Qt's normal parent/child transform propagation -- exactly
what the existing "skip rotation if parent is also selected" guard
already assumes for those three cases.
Exposed as a new, separate action ("Pivoter le groupe", Shift+Space)
next to the existing one rather than changing Space's behavior, since
some workflows may rely on the current per-item rotation.
"Add folio" always appends to the end of the project, ignoring
whatever folio is currently selected in the left panel -- even though
the panel already tracks the selected diagram's position for its
existing move up/down/top actions, and QETProject::addNewDiagram(pos)
already accepts an arbitrary insertion index, pushed as an undoable
AddDiagramCommand (QetGraphicsTableFactory::create() already relies on
this exact mechanism to insert a folio right after a specific one).
Add two new context-menu actions that compute the target position from
the selected diagram's folioIndex() and pass it straight through the
existing machinery -- no changes needed to QETProject or
AddDiagramCommand. New requestForNewDiagramAt/addDiagramToProjectAt
signal/slot pair added alongside the existing
requestForNewDiagram/addDiagramToProject rather than changing it, so
the plain "Add folio" action's append-at-end behavior is untouched.
On macOS in particular there's currently no way to tell from the window
chrome alone whether the active project has unsaved changes. The main
window's title is set once in the constructor to a static string and
never updated afterward, and QET never sets Qt's windowModified
property anywhere -- so the native "document modified" indicator
(the dot in the close button on macOS; an asterisk in the title on
platforms that render it as text) never appears.
Add QETDiagramEditor::updateWindowModifiedState(), which sets the
window title to "<project>[*] - QElectroTech" (the "[*]" is Qt's own
placeholder convention for this) and calls setWindowModified() with
the active project's own modified flag. Call it from two places:
- subWindowActivated(), the single existing choke point already used
whenever the visible MDI tab changes, so switching projects
immediately reflects the newly active one's own state.
- A new per-project connection to QETProject::projectModified, added
in addProject() alongside the existing undo-stack registration,
filtered to only act when the modified project is the currently
active one.
With no project open, the title and modified flag both revert to the
original static, unmodified state.
Implements https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectrotech-source-mirror/discussions/596
Implements the third pillar of #574: a lightweight quick-open popup
for jumping straight to an element on the current diagram, rather
than scrolling/scanning visually.
New JumpToElementDialog (sources/ui/): a small QDialog with a filter
QLineEdit and a live-filtered QListWidget beneath it. Built from
every Element on the diagram, searchable against its label
(elementInformations().value("label")), type name (Element::name()),
and every other element information value, joined into one
lowercased search string per candidate. Up/Down move through the
filtered list, Enter selects the highlighted element on the diagram
(clearing the rest of the selection) and scrolls it into view via
ensureVisible(), Escape cancels without changing the current
selection. All three are handled via an event filter on the line
edit, so the user never has to leave the text field to navigate or
confirm.
Triggered by a new Ctrl+G action in QETDiagramEditor, added next to
the existing Ctrl+F "search and replace" action and to the Edit
menu. Confirmed free: not used anywhere in qetdiagrameditor.cpp or
qetmainwindow.cpp today.
Explicitly not a duplicate of the existing SearchAndReplace module
(also on this menu, via Ctrl+F): that's a bulk property search/replace
tool across whole diagrams; this is a single-item navigational
popup with no editing capability.
Verified end-to-end in a real running session (Xvfb + xdotool)
against a multi-transistor schematic: Ctrl+G opens the popup listing
every element; typing "Q16" live-filters down to the one match;
arrow keys move the highlighted row through the filtered list;
Enter selects the highlighted element (confirmed via the properties
panel showing its label) and closes the popup; Escape closes it
without changing the selection.

Adds a ProjectUsageTracker (sources/project/) that accumulates how
long a project has been the active tab, using QElapsedTimer so the
value is computed on demand rather than via polling. It's hosted on
ProjectPropertiesHandler per that class's own stated design intent
("all new properties should be managed by this class").
The accumulated time is persisted as a new <usage time_spent="N"
enabled="true|false"/> element, a sibling of <properties> in the
project XML, written/read by new QETProject::writeUsageXml()/
readUsageXml(). It rides along on the existing autosave path for
free, since writeBackup() already serializes the full project via
toXml().
QETDiagramEditor::subWindowActivated() now pauses every open
project's tracker except the one whose tab just became current, so
switching between several open projects keeps each project's tracked
time isolated.
Surfaced in the existing Project Properties "Général" page: a
"Temps passé sur ce projet" display, a "Réinitialiser" button, and
an opt-out checkbox ("uniquement enregistré localement dans ce
fichier" - this is local-only, never transmitted anywhere).
Verified beyond compiling: full CMake build, then an actual runtime
session confirming the saved XML's time_spent value, that closing
and reopening the project round-trips and resumes timing, that the
reset button works, and - the key correctness check - that with two
projects open, the inactive one's time_spent stays frozen while the
active one accumulates real elapsed time, over the same interval.
See discussion #576.

Provide a small KAutoSaveFile-compatible implementation for the no-KF5 build path and use it to keep the existing crash-recovery code active when BUILD_WITH_KF5=OFF.
The normal KF5 build still uses the KDE KAutoSaveFile implementation.

1. machine_info.h: zero-initialise Screen struct members
Max_width, Max_height, count, width[] and height[] were bare
int32_t with no initialiser. The comparisons in
init_get_Screen_info() read them before any write, producing
undefined behaviour flagged by Valgrind as 'Conditional jump
or move depends on uninitialised value(s)'.
2. main.cpp: pre-initialise MachineInfo on the main thread
MachineInfo::instance() was first called inside QtConcurrent::run(),
causing its constructor (which calls qApp->screens()) to run on a
background thread. QScreen methods are not thread-safe in Qt5.
Calling instance() once on the main thread before the worker
launches guarantees the singleton is fully built first; subsequent
calls from the worker just return the cached pointer.
3. qetdiagrameditor.h: move m_first_show before the QActionGroup members
C++ initialises members in declaration order. m_first_show was
declared after the QActionGroup members (line 256 vs 168). During
construction of m_row_column_actions_group(this), Qt dispatches a
QObject parent-change event that reaches QETDiagramEditor::event(),
which reads m_first_show before it has been initialised.
Moving the declaration to the top of the first private: block
ensures it is initialised before any member that can trigger events.
All three found via Valgrind --tool=memcheck on Ubuntu 22.04 / Qt 5.15.3.
Relates-to: PR #514 (same QtConcurrent thread-safety pattern).
Before this commit :
ElementPropertiesWidget emit a signal of Diagram to edit an element, and
the signal goes up from Diagram -> DiagramView -> ProjectView ->
QetDiagramEditor and QetDiagramEditor call a static function.
Now :
ElementPropertiesWidget call the static function itself and that all.
All unnecessary signals are removed.
