Misc

• e1b40a7 More settings save reworking

• 0d7cb55 Move more functions into dedicated ScreenPlayWallpaper class

• 3c1f5f7 Replace setContextProperty that will be removed in Qt6 with qmlRegisterSingletonInstance

• 5f0d81d Change sidebar monitor selection to no longer clipAdd flickable when the selection area is bigger than the sidebar

• cb6b438 Change sdkconnector to use GlobalVariables::getAvailableTypes

• 5fb1ea3 Change installed content type from string to enumWe now use the InstalledType enum in QML for differentiating between wallpaper types

• b13d643 Change cmake to compile into a separate bin folder for easier deployment

• c289a3e Change monitor preview size when only a single monitor is in use

• f7a7844 Change compilation mode to c++ 20Fix qml compilation in release mode

• a83d1fc Change wallpaper selection to always select the first monitor

• 0b84c37 Change SaveNotification base item to custom implemetation

• c4423a1 Refactor saving/loading of profilesWe now partially support saving and loading custom properties.

  • This is accomplished via a flat ProjectSettingsListModel that is only used for the properties. We still display the DefaultVideoControls.qml if the content is a video. For this I added the m_installedType to the MonitorListModel.

• 49b75a4 Move SDKConnectors SDKConnection class into seperate fileThe next will be to merge SDKConnector into the ScreenPlayManager.

  • We now have the first version of bi directional messages. This is for updating values like saving the current Widget position. We also save a SDKConnection shared reference inside our ScreenPlayWallpaper or ScreenPlayWidget instance. So we now have all logic in these classes.

• 14991cb Change Resources into two seperate qrc files

  • Also we now use qmlRegisterUncreatableMetaObject with a namespace for every enum to “emulate” enum classes in QML

• b81c513 Revert setWallpaperValue from QVaraint to QStringThis caused some floating convertion error. Because they get send as a string in the end anyways we just can use string here.

• b08c124 Change check if steam version from qml to cpp We now have a steamVersion property to set if we can load the steam plugin. Because of this we no longer need the WorkshopLoader and WorkshopAvailableTest being triggered when hovering over sidebar elements

Language
