2018-10-11Undo: select dives after add, remove, merge, split dive commandsGravatar Berthold Stoeger
Select the proper dives after the add, remove, split and merge dives commands on undo *and* redo. Generally, select the added dives. For undo of add, remember the pre-addition selection. For redo of remove, select the closest dive to the first removed dive. The biggest part of the commit is the signal-interface between the dive commands and the dive-list model and dive-list view. This is done in two steps: 1) To the DiveTripModel in batches of trips. The dive trip model transforms the dives into indices. 2) To the DiveListView. The DiveListView has to translate the DiveTripModel indexes to actual indexes via its QSortFilterProxy- model. For code-reuse, derive all divelist-changing commands from a new base-class, which has a flag that describes whether the divelist changed. The helper functions which add and remove dives are made members of the base class and set the flag is a selected dive is added or removed. To properly detect when the current dive was deleted it became necessary to turn the current dive from an index to a pointer, because indices are not stable. Unfortunately, in some cases an index was expected and these places now have to transform the dive into an index. These should be converted in due course.

2018-10-11Dive list view: replace signal-magic by flagGravatar Berthold Stoeger
In DiveListView, we have a very fundamental problem: When On the one hand, we get informed of user-selection in the DiveListView::selectionChanged() slot. This has to set the correct flags in the C-backend. On the other hand, sometimes we have to set the selection programatically, e.g. when selecting a trip. This is done by calling QItemSelectionModel::select(). But: this will *also* call into the above slot, in which we can't tell whether it was a user interaction or an internal call. This can lead to either infinite loops or very inefficient behavior, because the current dive is set numerous times. The current code is aware of that and disconnects the corresponding signal. This is scary, as these signals are set internally by the model and view. Replace this by a global "command executing" flag in DiveListNotifier. The flag is set using a "marker" class, which resets the flag once it goes out of scope (cf. RAII pattern). In DiveListView, only process a selection if the flag is not set. Otherwise simply call the QTreeView base class, to reflect the new selection in the UI. To have a common point for notifications of selection changes, add such a signal to DiveListNotifier. This signal will be used by the DiveListView as well as the Command-objects. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2018-10-11Dive list: implement proper Qt-model semantics for DiveTripModelGravatar Berthold Stoeger
Previously, each dive-list modifying function would lead to a full model reset. Instead, implement proper Qt-model semantics using beginInsertRows()/endInsertRows(), beginRemoveRows()/ endRemoveRows(), dataChange(). To do so, a DiveListNotifer singleton is generatated, which broadcasts all changes to the dive-list. Signals are sent by the commands and received by the DiveTripModel. Signals are batched by dive-trip. This seems to be an adequate compromise for the two kinds of list-views (tree and list). In the common usecase mostly dives of a single trip are affected. Thus, batching of dives is performed in two positions: - At command-level to batch by trip - In DiveTripModel to feed batches of contiguous elements to Qt's begin*/end*-functions. This is conceptually simple, but rather complex code. To avoid repetition of complex loops, the batching is implemented in templated-functions, which are passed lambda-functions, which are called for each batch.
