Title:
The contents of the .ui files need ordering
Status in Mudlet:
Opinion
Bug description:
The tools provided by Qt for editing forms based on XML format xxxx.ui
files do not order the contents of QGridLayouts - the Qt Designer
application/IDE plugin apparently leaves things in a random order. At
some point in the post 3.0.0 clean-up - possibly at the time where we
apply cl-formating to the C++ source code I think it would help to
reduce future "noise" in Git commits if we undertake to go through all
the .ui files and sort the items included in such files into row and
then column order.
This is relatively straight forward in the Qt IDE as one can choose to
open such files with the "Plain Text Editor" and the code folding in
that allows each element to be collapsed to a single line
representation that can be cut and pasted cleanly (unless the paste is
at the start or end of the items in the QGridLayout!)
To maintain the order - and to keep the Git Commits as clean as
possible - it is necessary after editing such a form in the "Form
Editor" (which is the default "open" mechanism) to reopen with the
text editor to perform this maintenance task before including any
changes in a commit.
I suggest this Bug report is closed at the point when such a clean-up
is done.
