- Replaces QLinkedList with std::list as recommended by Qt docs.
- Replaces QWheelEvent::delta() with QWheelEvent::angleDelta(). This
should also benefit trackpad behavior.
Implemented a smarter auto-cache that's context sensitive. Caching will
automatically pause when playback begins or values are being changed and resume
when inactive.
Made various changes and fixes to the task system:
- Tasks are built around QtConcurrent rather than QThread. Reduces
code complexity significantly.
- Task error reporting is now streamlined in both TaskManager and
TaskDialog.
- Moved ProjectImport/Save/LoadManager to the app/task folder
Fixes a number of playback stuttering and general UI lag issues by setting all
background tasks to IdlePriority rather than LowPriority. While it was assumed
LowPriority tasks would always get scheduled below NormalPriority (e.g. main
thread) tasks, it turns out this is not always the case. If the background tasks
start consuming a lot of CPU cycles, the scheduler may use "dynamic scheduling"
to schedule them above the main thread regardless leading to UI lag. This is
apparently the case for all thread priorities apart from IdlePriority, which
is allegedly a special case where threads are *only* scheduled when other
threads aren't busy ensuring the main thread stays responsive.
