The conductor table keyed on Terminal::uuid(), which comes from the catalog
.elmt definition and is empty for every element authored before that field
existed. A conductor was dropped unless *both* its terminals had one, so the
tables this slice adds were empty on almost every project in existence:
examples corpus conductor rows in the database
industrial.qet 0 of 671
affuteuse_250h.qet 0 of 263
tremie_vibrante.qet 0 of 77
741.qet 0 of 67
Across the 23 example projects, 16 of the 20 that contain conductors have
zero terminal uuids -- 2366 of 3002 conductors -- and overall coverage is
7.3%. Meanwhile --export-cables, already on master, lists all 671 conductors
of industrial.qet from the document. A feature that only works on newly
authored elements is not one users can rely on.
Terminal::stableUuid() returns the terminal's own uuid when it has one and
otherwise derives one from its local position and orientation inside its
element. That is not an invented scheme: it is what the project format
already does. TerminalData::fromXml() says so where it parses the field --
"if the attribute not exists, means, the element is created with an older
version of qet. So use the legacy approach to identify terminals" -- and the
legacy approach is the terminal's position. m_pos is read from the definition
and is not touched by moving the element on a folio, so the identity survives
loads, saves and folio moves. Derived values are UUID v5 in a fixed namespace,
so they are reproducible without being stored, and cannot collide with the v4
uuids the element editor generates.
Every project in the corpus now has exactly as many conductor rows as the
document has conductors -- 20 of 20 measured, 0 mismatches. (schema_indus.qet
is excluded: it blocks on a modal dialog at zero CPU under any CLI flag, the
pre-existing hang PR #661 addresses.)
Two things this deliberately does not key on:
- The terminal name. It is not stable: QET rewrites a terminal named "_" as
unnamed, which would have silently changed the identity of 1421 of
industrial.qet's 1790 terminals on their first resave. Measured across the
corpus, dropping it costs nothing -- geometry alone yields exactly the same
three collisions -- and it means renaming a terminal no longer changes what
it is.
- Uniqueness in the face of a definition that declares two terminals at the
same point and orientation. Three cases exist in the whole corpus. They
merge to a single terminal row, which is harmless: two terminals identical
in position and orientation are indistinguishable in every observable
respect, and every conductor on either still resolves to the right element
and terminal name. Both affected projects (industrial, perceuse) return
their full conductor count.
The only conductor still skipped is one whose terminal has no parent element,
which has no identity to key on at all.

Three fixes to the tables added by this slice.
A conductor's text was written once at insert and never again. Renaming a
wire left the database holding the old number, so the wiring list showed a
stale value until the next full repopulate -- elements have
elementInfoChanged() for exactly this and conductors had nothing.
Conductor::setProperties() has around a dozen call sites (auto-numbering,
the properties dialog, element moves, the delete command's re-links), so
rather than adding a call to each and missing the ones added later, listen
to the propertiesChange() signal it already emits. Qt::UniqueConnection
means a repeated insert or a full repopulate cannot double-subscribe, and
the connection is established on both insert paths because conductors read
from a file never pass through addConductor().
addConductor() and populateConductorTable() each carried their own copy of
the same seven bindValue() lines. They had not drifted yet, but that is the
same duplication the element paths had before bindElementValues(), where
they had drifted -- one binding kindInformations()["type"] and the other
masterTypeToString(). One bindConductorValues() for both.
Finally, index the conductor columns that get looked up per element rather
than per conductor. element_nomenclature_view counts the wires touching each
element with a correlated subquery, so without an index every element row
full-scans the conductor table and the cost grows as elements x conductors.
Measured on a standalone SQLite harness at 2000 elements x 5000 conductors:
2134 ms unindexed, 10 ms indexed. diagram_uuid is indexed too, since the
wiring list view joins on it.

Slice 2 of discussion #503 (from-to wiring list built on projectDataBase),
building on the conductor uuid from slice 1 (#625). Pure plumbing: two
new additive tables plus their populate/add/remove hooks. No view, no UI,
no visible behavior change yet -- the wiring-list view is slice 3.
Follows the existing shape of the class throughout: same table/column
naming, same prepared-statement idiom in prepareQuery(), same
bind/exec/qDebug-lastError error handling, same DELETE-then-loop
populate pattern.
- `terminal (uuid, element_uuid, name)` and
`conductor (uuid, diagram_uuid, terminal1_uuid, terminal1_element_uuid,
terminal2_uuid, terminal2_element_uuid, text)` created alongside the
existing tables in createDataBase().
- populateConductorTable() added as a fifth populate* call in updateDB().
Terminal population is folded into it, since a terminal only matters
here in the context of a conductor referencing it.
- addConductor()/removeConductor() hooked into the already-existing
Conductor::Type branch of Diagram::addItem()/removeItem(), mirroring
the Element::Type branch directly above.
Two things the original schema sketch in the discussion got wrong, found
by testing rather than inspection:
1. Terminal::uuid() is NOT unique per placed terminal. It is the
terminal-position id baked into the catalog .elmt definition ("the
top terminal"), so every placed instance of the same catalog element
shares it. A terminal instance is only uniquely identified by
(uuid, element_uuid) together, so that pair is the terminal table's
primary key and the conductor table carries both halves for each
endpoint. With uuid alone as PK, the second placed instance of any
element silently lost its terminals to the INSERT OR IGNORE.
2. Conductors whose terminals predate terminal uuids are omitted rather
than given a fabricated identity, as agreed in the discussion. This
turns out to matter far more than expected in practice -- see below.
Testing (all live, in the running app):
- Incremental add: fresh project, two vertically aligned contacts placed
so autoconnect creates a conductor -> 2 terminals, 1 conductor.
- Incremental remove: deleting that conductor -> conductor count 1 -> 0.
- Undo: ctrl+Z after the delete -> back to 1, no duplicate-primary-key
error (the same Conductor object keeps its uuid).
- Bulk populate: examples/weneedpolonez-Polonez_MR89_wiring_diagram.qet
(366 conductors) -> 478 terminals, 280 conductors; the 86 conductors
touching legacy terminals correctly omitted.
- Join correctness: conductor -> terminal (composite key) -> element_info
resolves real from-to rows with real element labels.
- Legacy-only project: examples/industrial.qet has 1794 terminals and
*zero* terminal uuids, so all 671 of its conductors are omitted. Loads
and renders fine, no crash, no spurious rows -- but worth stating
plainly that a from-to wiring list for that project would be empty
today. This is a property of the element catalog definitions, not of
the project file, and is the strongest argument for surfacing an
"N conductors excluded" count to the user when the view lands.
- No SQL errors logged in any of the above.
Known limitation, consistent with existing behavior: removeDiagram()
does not cascade-delete the conductor rows of that diagram, exactly as
it already does not cascade to element/element_info. A full updateDB()
rebuild clears them, and the future wiring-list view INNER JOINs from
conductor, so orphan terminal rows never surface.
ElementsPanelWidget::duplicateDiagram() round-trips the folio through XML
and then gives the copied *elements* fresh uuids, because element.uuid is
the primary key of the project database and a duplicate silently fails to
insert. Conductors now have the same problem and needed the same loop:
conductor.uuid is likewise a primary key, its insert is a plain INSERT
rather than INSERT OR IGNORE, and a failure only reaches qDebug(). Without
this, every wire on a duplicated folio is missing from the wiring list and
from the per-element wire count, with nothing shown to the user.
Verified against the real schema: inserting the same conductor uuid for a
second folio fails with "UNIQUE constraint failed: conductor.uuid", leaving
one row where two were expected.
Also harden the uuid read in Conductor::fromXml(). The default argument of
QDomElement::attribute() is evaluated whether or not the attribute exists,
so a uuid was minted for every conductor on every load and thrown away; and
the default only applies when the attribute is *absent*, so a present but
empty or malformed uuid="" parsed to a null QUuid rather than a fresh one --
and null uuids collide with each other exactly as duplicates do.

Replace the flat QTableWidget with a QTreeWidget that groups actions under
one collapsible top-level node per category. Fix the search box so it also
matches the current key sequence (exactly), accepts multi-keyword queries
(AND, any word order) and is accent-insensitive, auto-expands matching
groups and shows an "N actions" count. Add a quick filter (all / bound /
unbound / conflicts) that combines with the text query. Conflict detection,
per-row reset, reset-all and persistence are preserved.

Follow-up to #740, which fixed the slave-side "(n-Xn)" cross-reference
label. The master-side item - the small table/cross drawn next to a
report or master element, listing where each of its slaves is used -
was still missing from DXF export. Measured against examples/
industrial.qet with the PDF export as an oracle (renders the whole
scene, so it shows what should be there):
before after PDF
slave xrefs "(n-Xn)" 41 41 41 (already fixed, #740)
folio/position strings 358 403 403
DXF now matches the PDF exactly.
## Why this needed a different approach than #740
The slave label is a plain QGraphicsTextItem - one string, trivial to
walk and re-emit as a single DXF TEXT entity, which is what #740 did.
The master-side item (CrossRefItem) is not: it paints itself with
~600 lines of hand-written QPainter calls across three modes
(drawAsCross/drawAsContacts/drawAsPlcTable), including a header
table, contact symbols, and rules. Hand-porting that logic to emit
DXF primitives directly would mean maintaining two divergent
implementations of the same drawing that have to be kept in sync by
hand forever.
## Approach: a QPaintEngine that intercepts CrossRefItem's own paint()
DxfPaintEngine/DxfPaintDevice (sources/dxfpaintdevice.{h,cpp}) is a
QPaintEngine/QPaintDevice pair - the same mechanism QPrinter and
QSvgGenerator use to redirect QPainter output elsewhere. Constructing
a QPainter on a DxfPaintDevice and calling item->paint() on it produces
DXF entities instead of pixels, using the exact same drawing code that
already renders correctly on screen. CrossRefItem::paint() is
unmodified.
Scope is deliberately narrow - only the QPainter calls CrossRefItem's
paint() is observed to make: drawLines -> LINE, drawRects/drawPath's
fill case -> outline-only LWPOLYLINE (no HATCH support in v1 - DXF's
fill primitive is a separate, more involved entity type; documented as
a known limitation rather than attempted here), drawEllipse -> CIRCLE
or a flattened polygon for rotated ellipses, drawPath's arc case (from
drawArc/drawPie) -> chord-flattened LINE segments, drawPolygon ->
LWPOLYLINE, drawTextItem -> TEXT. drawPixmap is intentionally
unimplemented (qWarning + skip) since CrossRefItem never calls it -
this is not a general-purpose DXF paint engine, and isn't meant to be
in this PR.
CrossRefItem::paint() is protected, per the normal QGraphicsItem
contract - added a small paintForExport() wrapper rather than making
paint() itself public, or reaching around access control.
## Explicitly out of scope
QetShapeItem::toDXF() and QetGraphicsTableItem::toDXF() (both already
implemented and working) are untouched. Rewriting working exporters
onto this engine to prove an architectural point would be a large,
unrelated diff with no user-visible benefit - if that consolidation is
wanted later, it's a separate proposal once this engine has shipped
and proven out on the one item that currently has no DXF export at
all.
## Testing
Built clean on Qt5/Linux. Verified via the GUI export dialog
(Fichier > Exporter > DXF) against examples/industrial.qet, 50 folios:
export completes without error or crash, all 50 .dxf files are
structurally well-formed (balanced SECTION/ENDSEC, single EOF each),
and grepping the folio-position pattern gives the before/after/PDF
numbers above. Spot-checked several real label strings (e.g. "18-B18",
"20-A2") present as TEXT entity values in the output, not just an
artifact of the count matching.

## Bug
Element library icons (collection tree thumbnails, drag icon, preview
panels) render with a fully transparent background. Element definitions
almost always hardcode a black stroke color, on the assumption of the
white diagram sheet they are normally drawn on. Against a dark widget/
tree-view background (e.g. KDE Plasma dark theme), that black stroke
disappears entirely - reported as icons being "black and almost
invisible". scorpio810_mantis linked this to the same recurring family
as #231, #247, #267.
## Fix
ElementPictureFactory::pixmap() is the single shared point where every
consumer of these icons gets its QPixmap (collection tree via
ElementsCollectionCache -> Element::pixmap(), master/slave properties
tree, element properties preview, drag icon). Change its background
fill from fully transparent to opaque white - exactly what the element
already visually assumes in every context this pixmap is used, so it
is correct regardless of the surrounding widget's palette.
## Testing
Built both variants and compared under Xvfb using a simple, decisive
visual test: select the tree row (giving it a highlighted/colored
background) and compare what shows immediately around the icon's
glyph.
- Before: the icon's background matches the row's selection color -
confirms it is transparent, so on a dark unselected row the black
strokes would have the same problem.
- After: a solid white square is visible behind the glyph regardless
of the row's background color.
Note for the on-disk pixmap cache used by ElementsCollectionCache
(~/.local/share/QElectroTech/QElectroTech/elements_cache.sqlite):
existing cached PNGs predate this fix and will keep their transparent
background until regenerated. That cache already keys strictly on
path+uuid with no invalidation on QET version, so this is an existing
characteristic of that cache, not something introduced here.
Bugtracker #291: clicking Cancel on the open/save-element dialog before
the user collection finishes loading crashes the whole application with
an unhandled pointer exception.
ElementsCollectionModel::loadCollections() loads collections in the
background via QtConcurrent::map(m_items_list_to_setUp, setUpData) -
worker threads call setUpData() on each ElementCollectionItem
(a QStandardItem), which does setFlags()/setData() on it.
ElementDialog::execConfiguredDialog() deletes the dialog immediately
after exec() returns:
element_dialog->exec();
...
delete element_dialog;
That destroys the tree view and its ElementsCollectionModel, which as
a QStandardItemModel frees all its items in its destructor. Nothing
waited for the QtConcurrent::map() to finish first, so on Cancel before
loading completes, background threads were still calling setUpData()
on items the main thread had just freed - a use-after-free race.
Add an ElementsCollectionModel destructor that waits for the future
before QStandardItemModel's destructor runs. QFuture::waitForFinished()
on a default-constructed (never-started) future returns immediately, so
this is a no-op whenever loading already completed - the crash path is
the only one affected.

Cross-references were missing from DXF exports, as reported on the
forum: https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2481
generateDxf() walks the scene and collects items by cast. A slave
element's cross-reference label ("(6-G15)", pointing back to its master)
is a plain QGraphicsTextItem hung off a DynamicElementTextItem as a
child, so it matches neither the IndependentTextItem nor the
DynamicElementTextItem branch and was dropped on the floor. Nothing was
wrong with the label itself; it was simply never collected.
Collect it through the existing DynamicElementTextItem::slaveXrefItem()
accessor and draw it with the same placement, rotation and multi-line
handling as the other text items, using defaultTextColor() since a bare
QGraphicsTextItem has no DiagramTextItem::color().
Measured on examples/industrial.qet, comparing against the PDF export
(which renders the whole scene and so shows everything):
before after PDF
slave xrefs "(n-Xn)" 0 41 41
folio/position strings 317 358 403
The slave cross-references now match the PDF exactly.
Still missing, and not addressed here: the master-side cross-reference
table drawn by CrossRefItem, which accounts for the remaining 45
strings. CrossRefItem is a QGraphicsObject that renders itself with
custom QPainter code in three different modes (drawAsCross,
drawAsContacts, drawAsPlcTable) including contact symbols and rules, so
giving it a DXF representation is a larger piece of work than this.
"exclude_from_bom" is listed in QETInformation::elementInfoKeys() so the
project database can build the element_info table column for it, but it
is not a free-text property: ElementInfoWidget already gives it its own
"Exclure de la nomenclature" check box.
Because buildInterface() creates one ElementInfoPartWidget per key in
that list, the key also got a second, generic edit row. And since
translatedInfoKey() has no case for it and falls through to
"return QString()", that row carries no label at all - an anonymous edit
line at the bottom of the panel. currentInfo() then writes
exclude_from_bom unconditionally, so as soon as the user edits anything
the nameless row fills with "true"/"false".
Drop the key from the list buildInterface() iterates. The check box
remains the only way to set it, currentInfo() still writes it exactly as
before, elementInfoKeys() is untouched so the database schema and
elementquerywidget are unaffected, and predefinedKeys() already excluded
it from the custom-property rows.

QVector<int>(Qt::DisplayRole) creates a vector of size 0 (since Qt::DisplayRole == 0), not a vector containing DisplayRole. Fixed

The sam applies to QVector<int>(role) which gets changed to {role}.
<private/qpdf_p.h> (QPdfEngine::drawHyperlink) needs Qt's private GUI
module, previously flagged only by a #warning at compile time.
Qt >= 6.7 ships GuiPrivate as a proper find_package component, but some
distro packages (e.g. Ubuntu's qt6-base-private-dev, Qt 6.8.3) do not
install Qt6GuiPrivateConfig.cmake and only provide the implicit
Qt6::GuiPrivate target created alongside Qt6::Gui. Requesting the
component unconditionally would therefore break distro-Qt builds.
Instead: try the component quietly, then hard-verify the Qt6::GuiPrivate
target exists after the main find_package, failing at configure time
with an actionable message if the private headers are missing. The
compile-time #warning in pdf_links.cpp and projectprintwindow.cpp is
now redundant and removed.
