setTabVisible(1, ...) only allowed Simple and Master, but the tree
(updateTree()) and the actual write path (ElementScene::toXml()) both
already support elementInformations for Terminal and Thumbnail too --
three independent "is this type allowed" checks that were never
reconciled, leaving already-working support unreachable through the
UI for those two types. Slave stays excluded here, consistent with
having no elementInformations support at either of the other two
points either (separate, larger gap, not addressed here).
"false" writes, delete key instead
Unchecking a checkbox previously wrote the key with value "false"
rather than omitting it -- behaviorally identical to every consumer
(all three do a case-sensitive == "true" comparison), but left dead
entries cluttering the .elmt file, inconsistent with how other
elementInformation fields (manufacturer, designation) are only present
when actually set. Now removes the key entirely when unchecked.
- ElementInfoWidget::currentInfo() now skips a field whose validator
hasn't accepted its text (e.g. a lone "." mid-typing), which
previously stored and later parsed to 0.
- New QETInformation::NumericInfoValidator rewrites "," to "." before
validating, so 80,5 on a German/French keyboard no longer silently
becomes 805. Used at both existing call sites.
- Restored the header's #1/#2/#3 doc comment (was reflowed into a
run-on paragraph by a previous edit).
checkboxes to the element editor
These elementInformation keys were previously only editable on an
already-placed instance (via ElementInfoWidget on the diagram side).
Since elementInformation values are seeded from the .elmt file's own
<elementInformations> block at placement time, a symbol author had no
proper way to set these as the *default* for every future placement --
only a workaround via the generic, unvalidated key/value tree.
Adds dedicated checkboxes to ElementPropertiesEditorWidget, mirroring
ElementInfoWidget's own labels/behavior: auto_num_locked and
potential_isolating inside the existing terminal-only group
(m_terminal_gb, shown only for ElementData::Terminal), exclude_from_bom
always visible regardless of type. Written after the generic tree loop
so they take precedence over any stale raw entry for the same key.
No new storage or file format change -- purely a missing editor UI for
an already-existing mechanism.
Address feedback on the width/height/depth elementInformation fields:
- The regex accepted "." alone as a complete value ([0-9]* permits
zero digits on both sides), meaning a field could be committed with
a literal "." saved to the XML. Require at least one digit either
before or after the separator.
- The same pattern was duplicated verbatim in elementinfopartwidget.cpp
and elementpropertieseditorwidget.cpp's EditorDelegate. Factored into
QETInformation::numericInfoPattern(), a single shared definition both
call sites now use.
- Tightened the pattern to at most 2 decimal places (down from 4) to
match the precision actually meaningful for these fields.
Not changed, by design:
- Storage stays a plain string, consistent with every other numeric
elementInformation field (quantity etc.) in this codebase -- values
round-trip through XML text regardless, so a long/micron
representation wouldn't avoid the string<->number conversion, only
relocate it.
- No decimal-comma normalization needed: with the fixed pattern, only
digits and "." are ever accepted at the keystroke level, so an
alternate separator can't enter the field in the first place.
The selection properties dock (elementinfopartwidget.cpp) and the
element editor's information tree (elementpropertieseditorwidget.cpp's
EditorDelegate) both restrict the width/height/depth fields added for
cabinet layout support to numeric input via a validator.
QDoubleValidator follows the system/UI locale for its decimal
separator, which meant a comma was accepted as an intermediate state
and left the field impossible to leave in some contexts, even though
it was never a valid final value.
Switch both to a QRegularExpressionValidator matching
^[0-9]*\.?[0-9]{0,4}$: "." is a literal character in the pattern, not
locale-dependent, and [0-9] (rather than \d) excludes non-ASCII
digits. This guarantees a value entered this way can always be read
back with QString::toDouble() without locale handling. The check for
which keys are numeric (QETInformation::isNumericInfoKey) is shared
between both call sites; the validator setup itself stays local to
each, since QETInformation intentionally has no Qt Widgets dependency.
Also adds a placeholder ("ex. 80.5") and tooltip explaining the
expected format.
Adds three new elementInformation keys — width, height, depth (in mm)
— alongside the existing manufacturer/manufacturer_reference fields.
These describe the physical dimensions of the device a symbol
represents, set once per element definition.
Values are restricted to plain decimal numbers via a QDoubleValidator
on the information tree's item delegate (fixed-point, "." as decimal
separator via QLocale::c(), independent of the UI language), so a
later consumer can always parse them with toDouble() without
additional sanitization.
GitHub issue #663: the "Informations" tab in the element editor's
properties dialog was only made visible for Simple and Master basetypes
(setTabVisible gate in on_m_base_type_cb_currentIndexChanged), hiding it
entirely for Slave and Terminal Block elements.
This wasn't a data-model limitation: ElementData::m_informations is read
and written identically for every basetype (elementdata.cpp), and
updateTree() already special-cased Terminal as enabled and injected
PLC-specific info rows for PLC Slave elements - that logic was simply
unreachable because the tab itself was hidden for both types. Also
flipped updateTree()'s Slave case from setDisabled to setEnabled so the
tree is actually editable once visible, matching Terminal's existing
behavior.
This lets users attach manufacturer/part-number/reference metadata
directly to Terminal Block and Slave (e.g. multi-part contactor)
elements, as requested in the issue - useful when a Slave's part number
differs from its Master's (e.g. a contactor's auxiliary contact block
vs. its coil).
Not verified: interactive element-editor GUI testing wasn't performed
in this sandbox; verified via clean incremental build only.
Removed "isVisible" check on max_slave_checkbox before saving because isVisible is maybe not true, when the ok button is pressed
Then the value -1 is written and so on not saved to the elements xml
This option alows for displaying XRef without contact drawing.
This is useful for spliting one physical part into multiple
logical elements when the slave element is not a switch.
