zoomicon / readcom_app Goto Github PK

Version: 0.0.11

should zoom to ActiveStoryItem upon entering/existing EditMode

especially after loading from savedstate, currently we aren't zoomedTo automatically (due to some issue related to app startup) to the ActiveStoryItem, but it is remembered (which is important in case the OS autorestarted the app while it was in the background as Android may do). So at least if user press Edit button to enter that they should get zoomed to the ActiveStoryItem to work on it again

Version: 0.0.5

no About button exists to show about frame with app information, credits, useful links etc.

Version: 0.0.5

Currently navigation to parent StoryItem can only be done via the StructureView sidebar

Allow using ESC keypress to navigate to ParentStoryItem (up to the RootStoryItem)

Shift+ESC should navigate to RootStoryItem directly

Version: 0.0.11

AudioStoryItem fails to load its state (stackoverflow at SetPlayedOnce)

Version: 0.0.5

When one right clicks in Edit mode and presses the garbage can button to delete an item, the StructureView sidepane (if open) doesn't show updated contents. This results in an error message (non-fatal) shown if an already deleted item's thumbnail is selected in the structure view.

When the structure view is open it should always get updated based on object tree changes (new RootStoryItem is set, e.g. after loading a new story or doing New action)

Version: 0.0.12

BitmapImageStoryItem has a Camera button at its Options pane, but that doesn't appear on Windows.

Add a TCameraCaptureFrame based on CameraComponent Delphi sample and allow showing it as a modal frame to capture an image, pick an area of it (crop) using a TSelection and set the image of the BitmapImageStoryItem to that

Version: 0.0.2

AudioStoryItem (and its children) are currently visible in non-Edit mode

Should only be Visible in Edit Mode.

Version: 0.11.0

pressing Cancel after load action seems to do ActiveHomeStoryItem, canceling load shouldn't do any side-effects

Version: 0.0.3

StructureView is toggled on/off with respective button

It should autohide in non-Edit mode after item selection and stay open only in Edit mode when drag-drop operation of structureview items is enabled

Version: 0.0.6

Currently user can use Home button to navigate to HomeStoryItem, but upon loading of Story it is not made active automatically (thus would zoom to it). Instead it makes the RootStoryItem active and zooms to that

Version: 0.0.14

Should show border for newly added/inserted items of ActiveStoryItem that is being edited without having to exit/reenter edit mode to see those

Version: 0.0.11

DropTarget is appearing but not functioning (on hover files aren't shown as accepted to drop) in EditMode

Version: 0.0.14

when inserting a new TextStoryItem via the respective button, it should take bounds of AreaSelection inside the ActiveStoryItem, if any such selection exists

In non-Edit mode should hide or heavily blur all StoryItems apart from the one that is active.

This may be tricky to implement since StoryItems can be nested and the active one (if it allows navigation to it / activation) may be deep in the visual hierarchy.

One way could be to have inactive StoryItems hide the asset they display (but not their child StoryItems) and set to not have HitTest

Version: 0.0.14

Since we can have a child StoryItem that is outside the bounds of its ParentStoryItem, we should be able to move AreaSelector handles outside those bounds to select (and be able to move with the selector's middle handle) such item(s)

e.g. a VectorStoryItem of a speech bubble is usually outside the VectorStoryItem of the character it belongs to, even though it is still useful to be parented to it so that when moving the character the speech bubble will move along

Version: 0.0.10

When user has set a PanelStoryItem (which is by default a StoryPoint) to not be such, it should remember it when loading its state from .readcom file

Version: 0.0.5

Apart from selection via the StructureView, user can change ActiveStoryItem via keyboard (e.g. left/right, ESC, Shift+ESC) and via respective (Previous/Home/Next) UI buttons (only Home button was functioning in version 0.0.5)

So the selection in the StructureView (if open) needs to be updated when ActiveStoryItem changes

Version: 0.0.5

Currently Previous/Next buttons are non-funtioning. Allow right-clicking a StoryItem to toggle StoryPoint state for it, so that one can move between StoryPoints with Previous/Next button

When active item has no parent:

• should try to navigate to its children (from last or first depending on previous/next action)

When it has parent:

• Previous action should try to navigate to previous siblings of active item, if none found move up its ancestors till it finds a StoryPoint. If none found it should get the last StoryPoint of its parent
• Next action should try to navigate to next siblings of active item, if none found move up its ancestors till it finds a StoryPoint. If none found it should get the first StoryPoint of its parent

Version: 0.0.11

TextStoryItem seems to always get the size of its parent StoryItem instead of starting with a small textsize and then allow to resize it (using ALT+mousewheel when hovered over it as with other child StoryItems of the edited ActiveStoryItem)

Version: 0.0.13

When one right clicks in Edit mode and "+" button to add a child item to it, the StructureView sidepane (if open) doesn't update its contents. This results in not showing the new items till the stucture view is closed and reopened

Version: 0.0.10

Should be able to use keyboard like below:

• Left/Up/PageUp: ActivatePreviousStoryPoint
• Right/Down/PageDown: ActivateNextStoryPoint
• Home: ActivateHomeStoryItem (note that is not necesserily a StoryPoint, only navigating to it on Load and after an EndStoryPoint - the will be option for multiple EndStoryPoints most probably, not implemented yet)

Version: 0.0.8

Upon crash or other forced abrupt termination of the application, it doesn't have chance to save its temp state so that it can continue from where the user was left

Should add periodic auto-saving of current state, or even better after every edit action (or at least every time it switches out of edit mode)

Version: 0.0.7

Buttons btnToggleEditMode / btnToggleStructureVisible / btnToggleTargetsVisible don't appear as toggle ones (don't stay visually pressed)

Version: 0.0.9

It's hard to click the content of a TextStoryItem to pass input focus to it when it doesn't contain any text or has very few text

Should give input focus to the Memo of the TextStoryItem when the TextStoryItem becoms Active

Version: 0.4.2

Should change font of TextStoryItem upon changing the bounds of it (would adapt the font size to try to fill its bounds with the text not getting cut off at the end, always having word-wrap on)

That way when resizing an item (say a StoryPoint "frame"), any text in its children/grandchildren TextStoryItems (that are say inside speech bubbles) won't become too small or too big to fit

Version: 0.0.14

Resizing the current area selection should resize the top item it encloses

Version: 0.0.13

Printing of the story would be useful, probably a Print to PDF action would be enough

Version: 0.0.2

Home button is currently shown on the left sidebar under the Structure button

It was originally placed there since both can be used for navigation , e.g. clicking the tree root at the Structure view does currently the same as the Home button, aka navigates to Root StoryItem (this should also change, see #3)

Move Home button of HUD (heads-up-display) to bottom-middle of screen, grouped in the same layout as the left (previous) and right (next) navigation buttons

Version: 0.0.5

There is currently no help button or other instructions in the application

Should make online guide and have help button to point to it. Could eventually embed a .readcom document as manual that will be containing such instructions

Version: 0.0.11

left sidebar buttons show hints/tooltips on hover, but right sidebar (shown in EditMode only) doesn't have such

Version: 0.0.11

DropTarget arrow should be faded out (lower opacity)

Version: 0.0.8

there is currently no copy-paste functionality

should have (edit-mode only) buttons to copy the ActiveStoryItem to clipboard and allow pasting into the ActiveStoryItem from Clipboard

Version: 0.0.5

There is no action to set color of TextStoryItem at its options dialog. This results in text showing in default-white color which in non-edit mode isn't visible when placed inside (say as child) a speech bubble (which is usually of white fill color)

Add ColorPicker dialog and respective button at popup of TextStoryItem

Version: 0.0.6

Should have hints (shown on mouse hover) for the different GUI elements

Version: 0.0.10

Can't always navigate to previous StoryPoint, whereas navigating to NextStoryPoint works fine

Version: 0.0.2

When doing CTRL+MouseWheel to zoom in/out it does it from the center of the view.

Should instead do zoom in/out keeping the position under the mouse cursor in the view (similar to how the ALT+MouseWheel resizing is working in Edit Mode)

Version: 0.0.9

A child StoryItem should be allowed to be dragged outside of its parent bounds:

1. totally if the parent isn't set to ClipChildren
2. partially if the parent is set to ClipChildren

especially needed when a Speech Bubble (an ImageStoryItem) is added as child of a character's ImageStoryItem (to then add a TextStoryItem in the Speech Bubble), so that it can be dragged with the character when the character's parent is the ActiveStoryItem. The bubble usually needs to exist more or less outside of the smaller bounds of the character it is related to.

Version: 0.0.12

Currently one has to use Add action (from the options popup of the ActiveStoryItem) and select a text (.txt) file in order to add a TextSToryItem into the ActiveStoryItem.

There is a "+" button at the Edit toolbar that adds an empty/default VectorImageStoryItem, should replace that with an AddTextStoryItem button with respective icon

Version: 0.0.12

The DropTarget decoration (translucent down/drop arrow and dashed borderline) shows under ImageControl at BitmapImageStoryItem when that type of StoryItem is the ActiveStoryItem

Version: 0.0.2

Home button activates the Root StoryItem

Should be able instead to set (via right click and a Home toggle button) any StoryItem as Home.

Navigating to an invisible StoryItem would just activate next one (cycling but making sure infinite cycle isn't done when there's only one and invisible at non-Edit mode)

Version: 0.0.12

Right-clicking a BitmapImageStoryItem doesn't show its options popup

Version: 0.0.14

When resizing a child StoryItem (of the ActiveStoryItem) via ALT+mousewheel, shouldn't act on SubComponents like the AreaSelector that maybe on top under the mouse cursor (should ignore them and peek underneath if they're on top)

Version: 0.0.2

Can't currently drag items in sturucture view

In EditMode only, allow re-ordering of StoryItems via StructureView:

• when dropped to same parent change Z-Order if item
• when dropped into other parent, move into that one

Version: 0.0.9

When a StoryItem

• enters EditMode and is ActiveStoryItem
• or becomes ActiveStoryItem and is in EditMode,
  should set all its child StoryItems border to visible

Should set BorderVisible=false to all its StoryItem chilren when EditMode is set to false or Active is set to false

Version: 0.0.9

There is no way to flip an item horizontally or vertically without editing manually the .readcom file to set Scale.X = -1 and/or Scale.Y = -1 (or whatever other scale factor except for 0)

Add Flip Horizontally/Vertically buttons for the ActiveStoryItem to Edit Buttons toolbar

Version: 0.0.2

Double-click of child StoryItem inside edited StoryItem (parent) doesn't work in Edit Mode

In Edit mode, double-clicking a child StoryItem should switch that item between front and back placement in Z-Order children placement of its parent.

• If not at front, then double-click should bring child StoryItem to front
• If already at front, then it should send it to back

Version: 0.0.9

ALT+Mousewheel changes size of a child item (contained directly) of the ActiveStoryItem

Should have some way to change scale of it instead so that it doesn't appear pixelized when we zoom to it.
Maybe SHIFT+Mousewheel?

Version: 0.0.5

Currently StoryItems don't clip their children StoryItems, resulting in their content being able to show outside of their parent bounds.

There may be situations (esp. with PanelStoryItem) where it is desired to clip children so that their contents don't appear outside their parent buttons (parts that don't fit inside are clipped)

At StoryItem options popup should have toggle button or switch to turn that behaviour on/off

Version: 0.0.15

Should be able to select a child StoryItem of ActiveStoryItem in EditMode with single click

Version: 0.0.11

When entering edit mode, Memo control of TextStoryItem gets disabled

Reason is TManipulator ancestor is setting its children to disabled, should do that only on those that are not "SubComponents" (seems to only do it for TAreaSelector it hosts, but not for TDropTarget or the TGlyph, TBorder that TStoryItem descendent adds, or the TMemo etc. subcomponents that other descendents of TStoryItem add)
