--when the user requests a specific layout in Multiple
Layout mode the new approach is the following. If
the layout has assigned activities this is respected
but if its activities are empty that layout is assigned
only on the current activity and any other layouts assigned
explicitly to that activity are released
--the controller does not need to host its own
CentralLayouts any more. It retrieves original
data for Synchronizer, updates layouts accordingly
and sends back to Synchronizer all the updated
layouts data
--Move in a simpler layouts approach.
--Single Layout mode loads ONLY ONE Layout for ALL Activities
--Multiple Layouts mode loads any combination of Layouts based
on the following settings:
-- OnAllActivities
-- ForFreeActivities
-- SpecificActivities
--Export For Backup, exports a layout with its entire
configuration for ALL applets
--Export As Template, exports a layout after the user
has chosen which applets should keep their settings
and personal data. By default Latte Tasks plasmoid
is going to propose to keep its data because no
personal data are kept in it
--onSomethingChanged syntax is preferred for all
slots that are triggered from somethingChanged signals
--doThis syntax is preferred for generic slots that
are triggered from various different codepaths
--situation has improved vastly for users for activities
and shares when trying to change their values. The menus
that appear now contain Ok/Cancel buttons in order to
accept or ignore the changes. If the user just hides
the menu without clicking Ok button then the changes
are ignored.
--original data indexes may not be consistent with
current layouts data. If a layout is removed from
current layouts then many original layouts data indexes
are totally different. This commit fixes this.
--when the shared layout has user assigned icon
then that icon is always preferred
--choose which icons are drawn for shared layout
based completely on what icons are already chosen
for the assigned shares (central layouts)
--drop the sub handler detailsoptionshandler
because the new design wont have tabs like the main
settings window does. Views table will be provided
through a new sub dialog.
--use the original Latte trademark at all
times in Primary config view setttings. In
the past there were icon themes that was
changing Latte icon to something alientic
and that approach was breaking the Latte
trademark visual appearance.
--when hidden configuration windows are deleted memory
consumption is improved and provides much lower values
--when hidden configuration windows are not deleted
memory consumption increases but their responsiveness
for hiding/showing is instantly
--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--add GenericDialog class in order to provide
same implementation for all settings::dialogs.
As a first step GenericDialog provides a common
showInlineMessage api
