Commit by brisset :: r1295805 /trunk/www/areas/extragear/apps/kst/files/ (. Log_messages_2.0.4_to_2.0.5.txt): (link)

Add changelog file to be able to put a link to it from the release announcement

Commit by brisset :: r1286210 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/widgets/vectorselector.cpp: (link)

Don't crash when the user clicks the "Edit Vector" button and there is no selected vector.
Barth, please review. Maybe there is a nicer way to do it (like deactivating the button when there is no selection?).
But at least this seems to work well.

Commit by brisset :: r1286206 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/widgets/curveappearance.cpp: (link)

Rework CurveAppearance::enableSettings() to make sure it does what we want. Previously the point density widget was not always enabled when we needed it.
When using points only, density is forced to "All", I think we had already discussed that and decided something else does not make sense.

Commit by brisset :: r1284792 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/viewitem.cpp: (link)

Make sure that adding view items is registered as a change.

Barth, please review: I'm not familiar with the undo/redo code and I'm not sure I put it in the right place. In particular, when adding an item, hitting undo and
trying to open a file it prompts for saving while it actually shouldn't.
I'm committing this anyway as the current behavior is better than not prompting for save at all when view item(s) have been added. But we can possibly make it even
better.

Commit by brisset :: r1284152 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/ (4 files): (link)

Add drag&drop feature:

• if dropping a .kst file, open it after checking what needed to be saved has been saved
• if dropping something else, open it in the datawizard The prompt to save feature in case of change has been refactored along the way to make it more readable code-wise. I hope I haven't broken anything. The reason why our previous attempt had not been conclusive is that we have to setAcceptDrops(false) all the way down the parent chain: _tabWidget *and* View. Note: my tests exposed a bug: adding view items is not registered as a change. This should be fixed! FEATURE: 272510

Focus follows mouse is not always your friend!

Commit by brisset :: r1283503 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/ (12 files in 7 dirs): (link)

Add support to Kst for Matlab's .mat format (v4 and v5), thanks to the excellent matio library (http://sourceforge.net/projects/matio/) by Christopher C. Hulbert.

This provides pretty complete support, with even the cmake module to check for matio and a small sample file to test. It still needs to be reviewed and tested in more depth, but it can read all the test files I've thrown at it
and all the types of primitives:

• scalars
• vectors
• matrices
• strings (limited to char, due to missing support for UTF in matio for now) Performance is pretty impressive, since Matlab stores the (binary) data on contiguous disk areas and can even compress them. I have generated vectors of 1 million points with octave and they load very fast (in the order of 1 s). It is all supported semalessly thanks to matio. It looks like 2.0.5 will be a pretty nice release :-) P.S.: I have added a HOWTO in the src/datasources dir to help people who would want to add support for other formats to get started.

Commit by brisset :: r1283502 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/plugins/dataobject/shift/shift.h: (link)

Make it so that shift is available as a Filter plugin, i.e. directly from the plot context menu.

Commit by brisset :: r1283501 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/cmake/modules/FindGsl.cmake: (link)

It seems that QUIET should be an option, but with it I get error messages. It looks better like that. Peter, could you check what should be done here?
Thanks.

Commit by brisset :: r1282844 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/plotitem.cpp: (link)

It's incredible how simple separators increase the readability of those context menus!
There is more work to do on the plot dialog context menu, but this small addition makes a nice difference.

Commit by brisset :: r1282840 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/viewitem.cpp: (link)

Cleanup the view item as suggested on the list. I find it much better that way, please give feedback and we'll revert it if there is a majority of complaints.

Commit by brisset :: r1282839 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/ (3 files): (link)

Rename "Dimensions" to "Size/Position" as discussed on the list.
Barth, I'll let you do the real work of refactoring the classes so that each dialog gets a different, more usable dimensions dialog.

Commit by brisset :: r1277950 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/choosecolordialog.cpp: (link)

Make sure the list of datasources has enough vertical space, and make room for the filenames (450 pix width, resizeable).
There is one issue left but it's more difficult to solve: when you add datasources while the dialog is open, it does not get updated. In this case you have to close and reopen it.

Commit by brisset :: r1277942 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/document.cpp: (link)

Make sure that the document state is set correctly also when saving to avoid asking the user again and again for a filename.
This fixes the reported issue and I can't think of any negative side effect. Barth, can you review the change quickly?

BUG: 292907

Commit by brisset :: r1253674 /trunk/www/areas/extragear/apps/kst/download/source_code.php: (link)

Since cmake is now clearly better supported than qmake to build Kst, make it clear on the web page.

Commit by brisset :: r1238888 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/ (plotitem.cpp plotitem.h): (link)

Open the edit plot dialog with double click to be consistent with other similar actions. It still opens in the right tab according to where the user
clicks.
Thanks Peter for your hint :-) I hope it does not have side effects on something else. I've tested a little bit and it seems fine. If there are
issues or someone brings good arguments against the change, we can easily revert this commit.

Commit by brisset :: r1238726 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/ (4 files in 3 dirs): (link)

Nicer icon for the new themes dialog, taken from oxygen (apps/preferences-desktop-display-color.svgz).
I still have to figure out exactly what this dialog offers, and probably update some strings to improve usability.
Barth, could you post a short description of what the options apply to (the tab(s), the plots, view objects, ...)? I'm having a hard time figuring
it out, especially as strole properties seem to not always be applied.

Commit by brisset :: r1230662 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/datasources/ascii/asciiconfig.ui: (link)

Improve layout of the ASCII config dialog. I hope you like...

Commit by brisset :: r1230526 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/ (2 files in 2 dirs): (link)

Remember the last used replacement file in the Change Data File dialog. It was one of the little things I had listed in the 2.0.3 QA comments.
BTW, nice trick, this dialogdefaults.h thing :-)

Commit by brisset :: r1230521 /branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/libkstapp/ (mainwindow.cpp mainwindow.h): (link)

Small improvement (I hope) to the toolbars, with a more prominent "Create Plot" button.
Wished by Gregoire, and I think it's a rather good idea...
The only thing I'm still wondering is how toolbars will look by default, as here it is not in the location I expected until I have moved it and
exited kst (as toolbar status is saved on exit). I may have to look further...
