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.
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.
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.
