--Latte can now support multiple Views in the same screen
edge. Views as separated in THREE Layers of priorities.
1. Views from Shared Layouts have highest priority and they
are first to occupy a screen edge
2. Views that are set OnPrimary screen occupy a screen edge only
if there is NO other View from a Shared Layout applied already
3. Views that are Explicit to specific screens occupy a screen
edge only if there is NO PRIMARY view already loaded
--the new report identifies for all your layouts
when a screen has not been assigned any docks/panels.
That can help user to clean up the ScreensConnectors
if wants to
--when the user uses Meta+A to cycle between the Views
configuration windows then in such case when NO Config
window is shown the LAST ONE USED should be shown again.
IF a Config View is already shown then the NEXT should
be shown afterwards
--fixes to signals in ViewParts in order to avoid
crashes. Currently the recreateView approach is used
in order to reload indicators runtime dynamically.
The "View::setSource" approach does not reload the
indicators properly
--any view and view::containment() signals that
are related to layout are now moved in the
View::setLayout() in order to be reinitialized
properly when the view changes to another
layout
--no reason to load Mutiple layouts linked file
as a Pseudo Central layout. This way no needed
checks can be removed and things are still working
as before.
--update function to use new validViewsMap() function
in order to identify which views must be presented
and where. The validViewsMap function can be used also
from subclasses in order to indetify the Layout occupied
edges without applying the final map state to actual
views.
--huge refactor in order to split the logic of the
Layout file. One of small steps in order to end at
the following logic:
AbstractLayout->GeneralLayout->InterfacedLayout
InterfacedLayout->NormalLayout
InterfacedLayout->OnTopLayout
PresentedLayout, that will contain references for
one ActiveLayout and one OnTopLayout and will
act as a class to provide useful information to
layoutManager and all other classes that want
to work with Views.
GeneralLayout will gain a storage object
for all STORAGE properties that require
a CORONA to work
