Follow-up to #158 / PR #501. While investigating that position bug,
found a second, separate one in the same area: PartText::setFont()
never updated real_font_size_, so it stayed frozen at whatever size the
item was constructed with.
That field isn't cosmetic - it's live data two other operations depend
on:
- startUserTransformation()/handleUserTransformation() use it as the
base size when scaling the font as the user drags a resize handle.
With it stale, dragging a handle after changing the size via the
toolbar (or loading a file with a non-default size) scales from the
wrong starting point - the resulting size has nothing to do with
what's visibly on screen.
- flip() reads it directly to compute the repositioning offset, so a
stale value also mis-positions the item on flip.
Fix: update real_font_size_ inside setFont(), the same place PR #501
already re-runs adjustItemPosition() for the same reason (font changed,
keep everything that depends on it in sync). fromXml() already routes
both its "size" and "font" attribute branches through setFont(), so
loaded elements pick this up for free.
Verified with a temporary instrumented build: typed a size into the
element editor's font-size field three times (9 -> 4 -> 48). Each
setFont() call's "before" value exactly matched the previous call's
"after" value, confirming real_font_size_ now tracks every change
instead of freezing at its construction-time value (9). Instrumentation
removed before committing.

## Bug
Copy-pasting an element pair joined by a conductor with no label
results in the pasted conductor having a literal "_" label, even
though the source conductor's label was empty. Repeating copy+paste on
the result keeps stacking the same "_" back on, since the pasted
conductor now legitimately has that text.
## Root cause
PasteDiagramCommand::redo() (sources/diagramcommands.cpp), when the
"erase label on copy" option is enabled (the default), resets each
pasted element's formula/label/comment/location to "" - a real erase.
Right next to it, the equivalent reset for conductors doesn't erase:
cp.text = c->diagram() ? c->diagram()->defaultConductorProperties.text : "_";
It unconditionally overwrites the conductor's text with the *project's
configured default text for newly drawn conductors* - a setting that
happens to default to a literal "_" character (visible in the project/
new-folio "Conductors" tab), and is otherwise unrelated to whether this
particular copy's label should be kept or cleared. The `: "_"` fallback
for the "no diagram" case doesn't help either, since these conductors
are already added to the scene before this code runs.
## Fix
Reset conductor text to "" too, matching every other field reset in
the same block. "Erase on copy" should erase, not "replace with
whatever the project's unrelated new-conductor default happens to be."
## Verification
Built clean. I was not able to get a reliable live GUI reproduction
under Xvfb + xdotool for this one - drawing conductors between
terminals via simulated drag kept mis-firing as element placement
instead in this environment, the same class of automation friction
noted on PR #743. Confidence rests on tracing the exact code path
(confirmed defaultConductorProperties.text is a project-level setting
for freshly-drawn conductors, unrelated to paste; confirmed the
sibling element-info reset four lines above uses "" specifically) plus
the fact this is a one-line change to match an already-correct pattern
right next to it, not new logic.

## 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.
Reported by plc-user on #642.
Opening an element you cannot write -- anything from the QET collection,
for instance -- disabled Copy along with everything else, so there was no
way to reuse a primitive from it. The workaround was to save the whole
element into your own collection first, just to take one shape out of it.
Two actions stood in the way, and neither of them modifies anything:
- Select All and Invert Selection were in the list disabled outright when
read only, so nothing could be selected in the first place;
- Copy was enabled only when "!m_read_only && selectedItems().count()", so
even a mouse selection left it greyed out.
Both now work on a read-only element. Copy is safe there:
ElementScene::copy() serialises the current selection to the clipboard and
touches neither the element nor the file.
Cut, Paste, Paste-in-area, Delete, Rotate, Flip, Mirror, the depth actions
and the add-primitive tools stay disabled exactly as before, so the element
is still protected -- this only stops the editor from refusing to read out
what it is already displaying.
Verified with a chmod 444 element: Select All then Copy now work, the
clipboard receives the expected <definition> with all three primitives,
Cut/Paste/Delete remain greyed out, Save stays disabled, and the file is
untouched (same permissions, same checksum).
Terminal::paint() draws the red terminal stroke, the blue docking dot
and the terminal name whenever the diagram's drawTerminals() /
drawTerminalNames() flags are set, and both default to true. The GUI
export dialog clears them through Diagram::applyProperties(), but the
headless CLI export (--export-pdf/--export-png/--export-svg) never
did, so every terminal shipped as coloured editor UI in otherwise
finished drawings.
Toggle both flags off around the render in renderDiagram(), exactly
like the existing grid/guides handling, and restore them afterwards.
QVector<int>(Qt::DisplayRole) creates a vector of size 0 (since Qt::DisplayRole == 0), not a vector containing DisplayRole. Fixed
to {Qt::DisplayRole}.
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.
Verified: cmake configure + compile of both translation units on
Ubuntu 25.04 / Qt 6.8.3 (system KF6), cmake configure on Qt 5.15.

The behaviour for both Qt5 and Qt6 is steered with the same two variables which were renamed to become version agnostic:

The version is automatically derived from the chosen Qt major version.
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.
Selecting more than one dynamic text field in the element editor silently
replaced every selected field's colour with the colour of the first one.
Nothing was clicked -- merely extending the selection destroyed the others'
colours, and the change went onto the undo stack as if the user had asked
for it.
Cause: updateForm() loads the current part's colour into the colour button
with m_color_kpb->setColor(). KColorButton::changed is emitted for a
programmatic setColor() just as it is for user interaction, and it is
connected to m_color_kpb_changed(), which applies the new colour to *every*
part in m_parts. So simply displaying the first part's colour wrote that
colour to all the others.
Every other widget in updateForm() is immune because it is wired to a
user-only signal -- on_m_x_sb_editingFinished(), on_m_frame_cb_clicked() --
which setValue() and setChecked() do not emit. The colour button is the one
control whose signal cannot distinguish the two, so block it while loading.
This also explains why the reporter saw it only when rubber-band selecting
bottom-to-top: the write happens only when the first part's colour differs
from what the button already shows, which depends on selection order.
Verified in the element editor with two dynamic texts, one red and one blue:
select the red one, then ctrl-click the blue one. Before: the blue text
turned red. After: both keep their colours. Changing the colour deliberately
with the button still applies to all selected texts, as intended.
Forum report (qelectrotech.org/forum, topic 3005, reporter oc67): a
project named e.g. "Mon_projet.avec_un_point.qet" exported to PDF as
"Mon_projet.pdf" - everything after the first "." in the filename was
silently dropped.
Root cause: ProjectPrintWindow::docName() used QFileInfo::baseName(),
which returns the filename up to the FIRST "." rather than stripping
only the final suffix. docName() feeds both the PDF print job's
setOutputFileName() and the QFileDialog::getSaveFileName default in
exportToPDF(), so the truncation showed up as the actual exported
file's name, not just a dialog suggestion.
sources/exportdialog.cpp's SVG/PNG/DXF export path already uses the
correct QFileInfo::completeBaseName() (strips only the last suffix) -
this fix brings the PDF/print path in line with that existing,
correct pattern rather than introducing a new approach.
Verified the exact before/after behavior with a standalone QFileInfo
test: baseName() on "Mon_projet.avec_un_point.qet" returns
"Mon_projet" (the bug); completeBaseName() returns
"Mon_projet.avec_un_point" (correct). Also did a clean incremental
build with no new warnings/errors.
Forum report (qelectrotech.org/forum, topic 3125): "Export the names
of list of wires" doubled every conductor's name in the output - a
single conductor named "16AWG" was exported as two "16AWG" lines.
Root cause: ConductorNumExport::fillHash() incremented the name's
tally once per terminal instead of once per conductor - a separate
if-block for terminal1 and another for terminal2, each bumping the
same m_hash entry. Since an ordinary conductor has two terminals and
neither is a folio-report terminal in the common case, both blocks
fired and every real conductor was counted twice. wiresNum() then
faithfully repeats each name m_hash.value(key) times, so the doubled
count became doubled output lines.
Fixed by incrementing once per conductor, only skipping it entirely
when *both* ends are folio-report terminals (neither represents a
real connection) rather than checking each terminal independently.
Verified with a minimal two-conductor project via the --export-wires
CLI verb: pre-fix build produced 4 lines for 2 named conductors
(exact doubling), post-fix build produces the correct 2.
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.
