[Synfig-devl] main menubar cleanup and improvement
Hi, In menubar of mainwindow, there are 10 items: File, Edit, View, Canvas, Layer, Keyframe, Tool, Set, Plug-Ins and Help. Do we really need Layer, Tool, Set, Keyframe menus? Since all of their sub-items are avaliable in their own panels. Keyframe menu, in most cases, user has go to keyframe panel to maintain keyframes for their documents. Layer menu, is just a copy of layer panel context menu Tool menu, is just a copy of toolbox Set, I never use it from menu bar Canvas, almost same, but the Canvas Properties and Options should be relocated from Edit and File menus to Canvas menu. I advise to: - Remove Keyframe, Layer, Tool, Set menus from menubar - Add a new Window item which contains File-Panels items (with some improvements of couse) - Relocate menu items Edit-Properties and File-Options to Canvas menu. Maby be we should hide the Options menu item, since the Options dialog is not a finished effort, and from my point of view, it is more like a canvas metadata editor. It would better to merge it into canvas properties dialog. So the new menubar will look like: File, Edit, View, Canvas, Plug-Ins, Window, Help Sub-items: [File] == New Open... Open Recent -- Save Save As... Save All Revert -- CVS Add CVS Update CVS Commit CVS Revert -- Import... Import Sound File... -- Preview... Render... -- Close Document -- Quit == [Edit] == Undo Redo -- Cut Copy Paste -- Select All Layers Unselect All Layers Select All Handles Unselect All Handles -- Input Devices... Preferences... Reset to default Setup values == [View] == almost the same than current version in master branch == [Canvas] == Properties... Options... == [Plug-Ins] == nothing changed == [Window] == Arrange Workscape -- Toolbox Tool Options History ... Graphs Sets Palette Editor -- Synfig Animation 1 Synfig Animation 2 Synfig Animation 3 == [Workscape] == Vertical Docks: Canvases, History, Layers Horizontal Docks: Parameters, Keyframes -- Reset Panels to Original Layout == [Help] == Help Tutorials Reference FAQ -- Get Support -- About Synfig Studio === ~ yu -- CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.

Re: [Synfig-devl] Close Window and Close Docuement
Looks fine to me. I just would change the logic from:
bool
CanvasView::close_view()
{
if(get_instance()-get_visible_canvases()==1)
close_instance();
else
hide();
return false;
}
to
bool
CanvasView::close_view()
{
if(get_instance()-get_visible_canvases()1)
hide();
else
close_instance();
return false;
}
It is not likely that it could happen but it would be sure if
get_visible_canvases() returns zero for some reason.
Cheers!

Hello,
We currently provide two menu items to close a file:
1) File-Close Window, it connects to CanvasView::close_view()
2) File-Close Document, it connects to CanvasView::close_instance()
If I remembered correctly, I asked befre and Calors answered, it is a
(unsupported now) feature came from Gnome, So I am planing to remove
the first one, including the menu item and the action defination, but
the function, CanvasView::close_view() will be still there.
bool
CanvasView::close_view()
{
if(get_instance()-get_visible_canvases()==1)
close_instance();
else
hide();
return false;
}
bool
CanvasView::close_instance()
{
#ifdef SINGLE_THREADED
if (get_work_area()-get_updating())
{
get_work_area()-stop_updating(true); // stop and mark as
cancelled
// give the workarea chances to stop updating
Glib::signal_timeout().connect(
sigc::mem_fun(*this, CanvasView::close_instance),
250);
}
else
#endif
Glib::signal_timeout().connect(
sigc::bind(sigc::ptr_fun(_close_instance),
(etl::handleInstance)get_instance()),
250);
return false;
}
