The ribbon kept its own \show_block_palette\ copy that the app had to
manually sync at every mutation point (the BLOCKPALETTE command and the
dock Close handler). Drop the copy and thread the app's authoritative
\show_block_palette\ into \Ribbon::view\ at render time, so the button
highlight can't drift from the panel's true visibility — those two
handlers are now mutate-points only and the ribbon view is the single
place that reads the state back.
The \\\x01attr\\x01…\ sentinel-prefixed string was used to tell geometry
fields (\&'static str\ names) apart from block attribute rows (runtime
tags) in \ctive_field\ and \dit_buf\. Replace it with a \FieldKey\
enum (\Geom(&'static str)\ / \Attr(String)\), so the two namespaces can't
collide by construction: \dit_buf\ is now \HashMap<FieldKey, String>\,
\ctive_field\ is \Option<FieldKey>\, and the sentinel decoding in
\ctive_key_id\ is replaced by \FieldKey::widget_id\.
While touching the key plumbing, replace \prop_field_key_for_id\'s
per-event scan of every section x prop (with a \String\ format per
candidate) with an O(1) precomputed \HashMap<iced::widget::Id, FieldKey>\
(\ ield_key_by_id\), built once in \
efresh_properties\ alongside the
sections — and rebuilt after \make_sections_read_only\ so rows demoted
to read-only stop mapping. \PropSyncActive\ now does a single map lookup
per event.
The global left-click listener fires PropPointerPressed on every mouse
press anywhere in the app, and the handler used to launch a full
widget-tree focus sweep on each one - even when the Properties panel
was closed. Gate the sweep on dock_panel_visible(Properties): when the
panel is hidden the handler now returns Task::none, turning an O(whole
UI) traversal per click into an O(1) boolean check in the common case.
The other sweep call sites already gate via sync_active_field_if_any;
this was the only ungated one.
Tests:
- hidden_properties_panel_skips_the_focus_sweep - a click with the
panel closed returns a Task::none (units == 0), i.e. no sweep.
- visible_properties_panel_runs_the_focus_sweep - a click with the
panel open still fires the sweep (units > 0), preserving the
select-whole-value behavior.
The Insert tab's Block Palette button now behaves like the View tab toggles
(UCS Icon, View Cube, Ortho, Properties, File Tabs, Layout Tabs): it stays
highlighted while the block palette panel is open and clears when closed.
The Ribbon gains a show_block_palette flag with a set_block_palette setter,
fed into ToggleState and mapped in is_active_tool for the BLOCKPALETTE tool
id. show_block_palette on the app remains the single source of truth; both
mutation paths now mirror it onto the ribbon:
- BLOCKPALETTE / BLOCKSPALETTE command toggles ribbon state alongside the
panel (src/app/commands/blocks.rs).
- Closing the panel via the dock rail close button clears the ribbon state,
matching how Close(Properties) already syncs (src/app/update/dialog.rs).
The drag preview divided the edge height by the raw panel count on the target
side. Closed panels keep their stack slot, so a hidden panel (e.g. the block
palette tucked away while Properties stays open) split the ghost and the drop
index as if it were rendering — leaving a half-height preview on that edge.
Size slots from the panels actually rendered on the edge instead, via a shared
visibility helper used by both the drop-index math and the ghost/edge-tint
geometry.
The dock drag preview computed slot heights and drop indices from the full
window height, but docked panel columns only span the model viewport, so the
preview overlay and insertion point drifted below the actual dock edge. Use the
current viewport height so the ghost and drop index line up with the panels.
Clicking an editable property value field now selects its entire value instead
of only placing the caret, so typing immediately replaces it. The click is
observed through a global left-press subscription (PropPointerPressed); a focus
sweep reports which widget took focus and PropSyncActive maps it back to the
active property row, then issues a select-all operation only when focus landed
on a different field.
The active row stays highlighted while its text input holds keyboard focus and
clears when focus moves elsewhere.
Creating a block from selected entities now bumps the geometry epoch, so the
block palette's per-update stale check notices the new definition and refreshes
its list in place instead of requiring the user to close and reopen the panel.
drop_index previously mapped a pointer position inside a lone full-height panel
to a top/bottom insertion split, offering an impossible drop. Clamp to the
single slot when the edge holds one panel, and cover the multi-slot mapping with
tests.
Style the dock rail tab by its panel state: the expanded (active) panel's tab
gets a primary-colored highlight and border, and a tab whose panel is being
dragged gets a lighter primary tint, so the user can see which panel owns the
edge at a glance.
- Run Plugin Manager release fetches on OS threads so they execute in
parallel instead of serialising on the async executor.
- Reduce V4Connection shutdown poll from 3s to 100ms; the runner is killed
and reaped without blocking host shutdown.
- Add PluginManager::remove and PluginProcess::shutdown_and_wait so
uninstall can stop the runner before deleting files, fixing Windows
access-denied errors on plugin removal.
- Rebuild ribbon immediately after uninstall so the tab disappears.
Requested in review: this repo's working language is English, so the
comments carried over from the OpenAEC sibling repos have been
translated. No functional changes -- only comments and log/error strings.
