When creating a new character, sets an appropriate importance level.
* If a character is selected, the new character has the same importance level.
* If a top-level importance level is selected, the new character has that level
* Otherwise, the importance level is zero
Last time I touched this code, I went in looking for a specific problem,
and came out with a fix specific to that issue. That fix was not wrong,
yet it hardly covered all the problems present in the code once one took
into account issues like:
- local vs remote resources,
- relative vs absolute paths,
- different operating systems behaving differently, and
- Qt being uniquely buggy on different platforms.
The major part of it was fixed by using QUrl.fromUserInput(), which does
the exact kind of auto-detection for the nature of the resource that we
were in need of.
The rest of the issues were fixed by creating a number of test cases and
fixing problems as they popped up. Testing was done in Windows & Ubunty
against the above-mentioned test cases, which can be found in PR #629.
Regarding ImageTooltip.supportedSchemes
When QUrl.fromUserInput() misidentifies the scheme on Linux, it causes
all resemblance between the original request and the reply.request() in
the finished() signal to be lost, which results in this item getting
stuck in the ImageTooltip processing pipeline.
Limiting the supported schemes to the ones most commonly encountered
('file', 'http', 'https' and the schema-less local paths) is the only
reliable method I have found to work around this particular bug in Qt.
Describing all the rabbitholes that I and kakaroto have gone through
while debugging this one until dawn can frankly not do enough justice to
the crazy amount of rubberducking that went on while trying to fix this.
This bug would be triggered whenever you had a document open in the
editor and then moved an ancestor object downwards (visually) in the tree.
Or when you simply deleted the ancestor. Depending on the exact method
that caused the opened item to be removed from the internal model, the
exact nature of the bug would vary, which means this commit fixes a few
different bits of code that lead to what appears to be the same bug.
In order of appearance, the bugs that ruined our sleep were:
1) The editor widget was trying to handle the removed item at too late a
stage.
2) The editor widget tried to fix its view after a move by searching for
the new item with the same ID, but in the case of moving an object down
it came across its own old item, ruining the attempt.
3) The editor widget did not properly account for the hierarchical
nature of the model.
Upon fixing these the next day, it was revealed that:
4) The outlineItem.updateWordCount(emit=False) flag is broken. This
function would call setData() in several spots which would still cause
emits to bubble through the system despite emit=False, and we simply got
lucky that it stopped enough of them until now.
This last one was caused by a small mistake in the fixes for the first
three bugs, but it has led to a couple of extra changes to make any
future bug hunts slightly less arduous and frustrating:
a) When calling item.removeChild(c), it now resets the associated parent
and model to mirror item.insertChild(c). This has also led to an extra
check in model.parent() to check for its validity.
b) The outlineItem.updateWordCount(emit=) flag has been removed entirely
and it now emits away with reckless abandon. I have been unable to
reproduce the crashes the code warned about, so I consider this a code
quality fix to prevent mysterious future issues where things sometimes
do not properly update right.
Worthy of note is that the original code clearly showed the intention to
close tabs for items that were removed. Reworking the editor to support
closing a tab is unfortunately way out of scope, so this intention was
left in and the new fix was structured to make it trivial to implement
such a change when the time comes. An existing FIXME regarding unrelated
buggy editor behaviour was left in, too.
Many thanks to Kakaroto for burning the midnight oil with me to get to
the bottom of this. (I learned a lot that night!)
Issues #479, #516 and #559 are fixed by this commit. And maybe some others,
too.
This is in preparation for adding support for additional spellchecking libraries
other than PyEnchant which seems to be unmaintained and does not build in
Windows 64 bit.
Issue #549 was caused because the request and reply object urls are not
guaranteed to be the same. Redirects are the most common cause, but a
malformed URL apparently also qualifies. We now make sure to look at the
original request.
Because the code confused me while I was working on it, I decided to
refactor and document it in order to understand what was going on. I am
glad I did: I found another crashing bug involving the rapid-firing of
tooltip requests, and the processing dict never had its entries removed
either, leading to a (very slow) memory leak over time.
All is good in the world of image tooltips now.
In the properties view, the context menu on the title line would be black
making its content unreadable. Same in the filter line of the "Set Custom icon"
window on the outline's context menu.
Windows path to the image has '\' path separator instead of '/' which makes
the stylesheet fail. Background images don't appear and console gets spammed with :
Could not parse stylesheet of object corkView(0x27248eb6900, name = "corkView")
