If manuskript is launched with its last argument set to "--console" an
interactive console opens up to help debug the application.
The IPython, qtconsole and matplotlib libraries must be installed for it
to work and they won't get imported unless the argument is passed to the app.
Color scheme was inverted if foreground was transparent, bug and fix provided
by @tildagail [1] and the text on the left side panel was ignoring text color
settings, making it unreadable in dark themes, as reported by @worstje in #527

While tackling issue #529, I stumbled across the odd behaviour that
re-compressing the archive with 7-Zip broke what should be a valid
Manuskript project.
After investigation it turned out that the code that loads the texts
sensibly expects there to only be files tracked in the files dictionary.
It is completely valid for a zip file to contain entries describing the
contained directories. The logical fix is to simply avoid adding these
directory entries to our files dictionary in the first place.
Making sure that manuskript.exe builds with the correct icon means not
only that any shortcuts created to the file have the proper icon, but
also that we are rid of the generic PyInstaller icon we have been
shipping until now. Hurrah!
Note that relative paths do not seem to work for icon files because
PyInstaller tries to look for them in the build directory. To work
around this problem, we explicitly join the relative path on the
SPECPATH constant which seems to satisfy PyInstaller well enough.
Despite the existence of a logo, Manuskript lacks an icon file that can
be used on Windows operating systems. This new icon file was created
based on the existing PNG files for 16px, 32px, 64px, 128px and 256px.
The Cork background and fullscreen theme backgrounds images can now be added
by using the "+" icon from the combobox. Once a file is added, the combobox
is repopulated and the new image is selected.
Note on line 871, in updateThemeBackground, there was a bug where it was using
self.cmbCorkImage instead of self.cmbThemeBackgroundImage
Fixes#399
If you right click once on the fullscreen panel and the context menu pop up
then you right click again somewhere else on the panel *while the previous
context menu is still visible* then it will cause a crash with :
"Windows fatal exception: access violation"
It seems to be caused by a crash in the QT event loop, trying to delete the
existing QMenu within an event handler.
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.
Several crashes were encountered opening files on operating systems
that do not default to UTF-8 encoding, such as Windows. In each case
the project file appears to have become corrupted. Because the only
reports to date have been on Windows, attempt to fix by specifying
utf-8 encoding for all text file open methods.
See issues #331, #470, and #502.
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")
This prevents any child widget from inheriting the same stylesheet,
more specifically, the context menu of the full screen editor will now
appear normal instead of being black text on black background, which made
it unreadable.
Fixes#440
The lambda function will keep a reference to the scrollbar python object preventing it
from getting destroyed when the QScrollbar is destroyed. This causes the underlying
QT widget to be freed while the python object still exists, therefore the timer itself
doesn't get stopped/cleaned, so the timer will get called and cause a crash with :
"RuntimeError: Wrapped C/C++ object of type myScrollbar has been deleted"
To reproduce, press F11 repeatedly while scrolling.
Update the language translation source '.ts' files with the
translatable strings in the source code with the following command:
$ make translation
This effectively runs the following command:
$ pylupdate5 -noobsolete i18n/manuskript.pro
After updating the '.ts' translation source files from weblate,
compile all of the language translations into '.qm' files.
This was done with the following command:
$ make i18n
This effectively runs the 'lrelease' command on each '.ts' file. For
example:
$ lrelease i18n/manuskript_es.ts
The steps to manually update the translation were:
1. Download and extract manuskript_pt_PT.ts from issue #408
2. Manually add manuskript_pt_PT.ts to git develop branch
See issue #408 and pull request #410
Prior to this step, the weblate language translations were merged into
the manuskript git repository with the following commands:
git remote update weblate
git checkout develop
git merge weblate/develop
The menu option "View -> Mode -> Snowflake" has not been implemented.
This greyed out / disabled option has caused some confusion for users.
Remove the snowflake menu option to avoid confusion.

The Travis CI builds for macOS X are failing because these now
timeout. This happens because qt is being built from source instead
of being installed from a bottle.
Note that by default the Travis CI will terminate a build after 10
minutes if no output has been received. Unfortunately building qt
from source code may take hours.
To address this issue, choose a macOS X version that has a homebrew
bottle for qt [1].
[1] https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qt
The homebrew project currently lists having a qt bottle for:
- Mojave (10.14)
- High Sierra (10.13)
- Sierra (10.12)
No bottle is listed for macOS El Capitan (10.11)
In order to support as many versions of macOS X as possible, choose
the lowest osx_image value [2] that is currently supported with a
homebrew bottle.
[2] https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/reference/osx#os-x-version
At this time osx_image value xcode8.3 is listed as supporting OS X
10.12.
Many applications, including Manuskript in the Editor pane, use the
keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl+Backspace' to delete the previous word.
However in the Plot pane Manuskript uses 'Ctrl+Backspace' to delete a
plot resolution step.
Fix this inconsistent behaviour by removing the keyboard shortcuts for
'Ctrl+Enter' and 'Ctrl+Backspace' from the Plot pane.
Closes issue #375
