Previously, sort, reverse list, and join functionality was implemented
as special cases in Bonsai itself. Given that it has usecases
(especially in material lists, but any sort of list applies) I've moved
this function into the IOS formatting language.
The IOS formatting language previously wasn't capable of this, but the
awesome addition by @falken10vdl made the formatting language accept
queries inline, so that means it can handle lists. I also added tests
for all the new functions and expression syntax (+-*/ operators).
I simplified the code that gets the evaluated text literal - previously
it seems to call format() multiple times.
Previously, copy attribution was coupled with text editing. This meant
that you couldn't just do something like change the font or alignment
without also affecting literals. Now like most apps you can just select
bunch of text and change font size etc, using the same UI look and feel
that copying attribute has when editing attributes.
This refactor also removes the need for explicit props tracking each
possible attribute to copy, and the settings collection group. Bulk
applying is now done in core with no calls to UI.
Turned out `aud` module we had in our makefile had nothing to do with Blender built-in `uad` module 🫣
So no need to install anything from PyPI since this module is generally available in Blender
This isn't complete yet, but it hopefully demonstrates a preferred
implementation:
* Logic in core, not operator
* Loop done in core, without needing to call other core functions, so
the overhead of enabling and disabling editing per object is removed. No
more Blender logic, just straight editing in IFC.
* Reuse existing function to grab text attributes instead of
reimplementing it twice.
* Remove dead code, there seems to be a function
apply_to_selected_objects which was completely unused and duplicated
code twice.
Fix issue where selected text annotations remained in editing mode after
applying changes. Now properly restores original editing state for each
selected object.
Sync children was a bit odd because it's not actually an "array
parameter" per se, just a way to regenerate. It's now an operator.
There was a deeper issue I encountered where the way arrays work is that
they duplicate the parent element. (first encountered in e51d2d )
However, the duplication code has special array handling too. To avoid
issues with this cyclical coupling the previous solution was to
reimplement object duplication (with all sorts of pitfalls that has).
Now, I've tried to decouple it further by clearing all array psets prior
to any change, and readding the pset after everything has been
regenerated.
This can be improved upon but I don't feel confident until there is more
comprehensive test coverage for the duplicate operator.
