rename FxLine directly in a QLineEdit #2918

BaraMGB · 2016-07-15T10:48:45Z

Same as #2916. For avoiding dialog window we can use a QLineEdit for renaming the FxLine. I used a QGraphicsView for rotating the QLineEdit.

Umcaruje · 2016-07-17T17:46:59Z

The beginning of the qlinedit is higher than the text's original position, which seems inconsistent to me. Other than that, looks good and avoids dialogs, so I'm all for that.

Can someone explain the purpose of using two components over one in this instance? For example, can't we simply keep the input a QLineEdit and change the behavior depending on whether or not we're in edit mode by setting readOnly to true?

Well, if one can make the disabled QLineEdit completely backgroundless and borderless, then that would be a better solution.

BaraMGB · 2016-07-22T08:26:52Z

Update: Now it uses for both (labeling and renaming) a QLineEdit.

Umcaruje · 2016-07-24T12:59:59Z

Tested, looks and works like a charm 👍

Umcaruje · 2016-07-24T13:03:50Z

src/gui/widgets/FxLine.cpp

+ m_scene->setSceneRect( 0, 0, 33, FxLineHeight );
+
+ m_view = new QGraphicsView( this );
+ m_view->setStyleSheet( "border-style: none; background: transparent;" );


Shouldn't you do this in the CSS?

I don't think so. The QGraphicsView is only a container for the QLineEdit. With it we can rotate the QLineEdit. I can't imagine a situation where the view should have borders or a background color. It's an internal solution the user (themer) don't need to know.

Ah, ok, thanks for clarifying 👍. This looks good to merge.

Just to let you know: if a track or a fx is renamed Lmms does not consider the project as modified.
You can quit with no question about saving...

BaraMGB · 2016-07-24T19:08:24Z

@jasp00 Thanks for your revisiting. I updated the branch.
@midi-pascal interesting. I have to figure out how to fix that. perhaps you file an issue for that.

I think you just add Engine::getSong()->setModified(); after your changes.

jasp00 · 2016-07-24T20:00:26Z

Undo and redo should work with renaming. A StringModel should be implemented.

@zonkmachine works!

@jasp00 can you point me to some code where I can learn how to do this?

tresf · 2016-07-25T14:31:59Z

The model classes are generated dynamically, si they're a bit hard to find in the code, but search for IntModel for an example of an Integer version.

BaraMGB · 2016-07-26T09:43:05Z

I have updated. Now the project is set modified if the FxLine is renamed. But I fear I have no clue how to handle the undo/redo stuff. 😟

jasp00 · 2016-07-26T20:22:32Z

That can be done later.

Umcaruje · 2016-07-27T17:21:40Z

Tested this one out too, works like a charm. Here's a GIF:

jasp00 · 2016-07-28T01:44:54Z

src/gui/widgets/FxLine.cpp

 }
+ m_renameLineEdit->setText( elideName( m_newName ) );
+ Engine::getSong()->setModified();


setModified() should be called only if text has changed.

BaraMGB · 2016-07-28T09:05:29Z

So, now it should works better.

jasp00 · 2016-08-01T23:00:56Z

include/FxLine.h

-
- QStaticText m_staticTextName;
+ bool m_inRename;
+ QString m_newName;


It looks like this member is not needed. A local variable newName would be better.

jasp00 · 2016-08-01T23:15:52Z

src/gui/widgets/FxLine.cpp

+QString FxLine::elideName( QString name )
+{
+ const int maxTextHeight = 70;
+ QFontMetrics metrics( FxLine::font() );


Why FxLine::font() instead of font()?

BaraMGB · 2016-08-02T12:28:17Z

Update. @jasp00 thank you very much for your revisiting!

jasp00 · 2016-08-04T00:25:01Z

src/gui/widgets/FxLine.cpp

+ m_renameLineEdit = new QLineEdit();
+ m_renameLineEdit->setText( name );
+ m_renameLineEdit->setFixedWidth( 65 );
+ m_renameLineEdit->setFont( pointSizeF( FxLine::font(), 7.5f ) );


Just one ~~FxLine::~~font() more.

BaraMGB · 2016-08-04T14:32:45Z

👍

zonkmachine · 2016-08-04T15:38:12Z

Cool!

One comment. When you hover over the text ( shows horizontally ) the string is remembered.
If you now change the text and hover over it again it's the previous line that shows up.
Edit: Before you hit enter that is....

jasp00 · 2016-08-05T02:59:42Z

include/FxLine.h

 static const int FxLineHeight;

 private:
- void drawFxLine( QPainter* p, const FxLine *fxLine, const QString& name, bool isActive, bool sendToThis, bool receiveFromThis );
+ void drawFxLine( QPainter* p, const FxLine *fxLine, bool isActive, bool sendToThis, bool receiveFromThis );
+ QString elideName( QString name );


const QString & name should be used instead of QString name to avoid the copy of the QString.

BaraMGB · 2016-08-05T20:39:20Z

@jasp00 update. 👍
@zonkmachine I turned the tool tip off in rename mode now. Good catch!
