Quick switch

[mottosso]

Goal

Save time browsing for assets.

Implemenation

Mimic the Windows Explorer mechanism of browsing to an arbitrary level in any of the currently selected levels.

Does this mean clicking on "assets" and directly going there? Or do you mean the pop-up list when clicking on the arrows in-between?

I'm looking for the first actually and tried adding index in the controller.pop() for the Breadcrumbs.qml (which is a QML Repeater) but somehow the index is always 1. Any idea how to pass to Python what index or button is pressed of the repeater?

[mottosso]

I mean both, but the former is a good first step.

As for how to go about it, if you mean this controller.pop() then I think you're on the right track. But it might not be an integer, but a QModelIndex. You'll need to tell the slot to accept QModelIndex here as well. Then you can get the integer index via index.row().

[BigRoy]

According to this page the following would show it just as integers:

Column {
    Repeater {
        model: 10
        Text { text: "I'm item " + index }
    }
}

So I'd expect them to be integers. I was able to have it also print the index, it would just always be the integer 1 somehow.

[mottosso]

Possibly. In that case, it should work.

[BigRoy]

Possibly. In that case, it should work.

That's what I assumed, but for each button - no matter which I clicked it - it was giving me a value of one. Maybe I'll have another stab at this soon. :)

Regarding this:

launcher/launcher/res/qml/Breadcrumbs.qml

Line 44 in 921c276

onClicked: controller.pop()

Ok, so I think I see what the issue is. The index in that scope in the QML file is probably from the Delegate. I need to somehow bring along (in QML) the index from the scope above it (the Repeater) into the delegate (the Toolbox).

[mottosso]

Hm, the delegate is a ToolButton, and it's got no index member. Try model.index to explicitly refer to the delegate's model.

[BigRoy]

Actually. @aardschok is working on this now and we're getting to something functional now. I must have missed adding int to the Slot when I tried this before.

Cool stuff coming up soon.

[aardschok]

Solution was to give the Slot decorator and the method controller.pop an int argument. In the Breadcrumbs qml file we needed to give the index to controller.pop of the repeater.

See #22

Right now breadcrumbs navbar can jump only to current index -1, right ?
Let say user trail is " batman > assets > bruce > modeling", After this if user click on batman then QListView will set to "anim, layout, lookdev,etc" instead of "assets,film".

[tokejepsen]

Pretty sure the quick switch has been implemented?

[BigRoy]

Yes, should be with: #22

We have it working on our Launcher at least, and I believe it's merged into here too.
