Move the pure-header utilities shared by app/ and engine/ out of
engine/common/ into a new shared/include/oakutil/ layer (define, lerp,
decibel, digit, range, crashpadutils, autoscroll, qtutils, filefunctions
declarations, and a trimmed xmlutils exposing a CancelAtom-free void*
overload). engine/common/ keeps forwarding headers so internal include
paths are unchanged; app/ now includes oakutil/* directly.
engine/node/project.h gains an explicit NodeGroup forward declaration
previously obtained transitively through the old xmlutils.h.
Yep, this is another one of my "famous" sweeping rewrites. Expect things to break.
Goals for this are:
- Greatly simplify node connections (particularly with arrays) so the code requires less maintenance/is more stable
- Redesign node structure to address issues where UI would stall for lengthy periods of time
- Less reliance on shared ptrs/greater reliance on QObject system for inheritance/memory management
- General code cleanup and improvements
The macro defined namespaces confused the hell out of lupdate and more or less broke translations permanently. Looks like the only way we can do it is to have a hardcoded namespace, which goes against my instinct, but honestly how likely is it that we'll change the namespace anyway (I guess forks might want to do it, but that's their problem ;) )
The first in many NodeView improvements. Up until now, nodes have been forcibly
auto-arranged, which has worked as a reasonable stop-gap just so that all the
nodes are visible during testing/development. However this does not make a good
user experience.
We move the auto-arrange code to a manual function that can be used when the
user or program deems it necessary, and also abstract the node positions so that
the view can ultimately determine the exact amount of spacing (useful for
changing DPIs) or orientation, so users can direct the flow whichever way they
want.
