| [03:57:24] | jpabq: | I have a version of textarea working with QTextLayout — at a basic level. Vertical alignment still needs to be handled, as it must be done differently. MultiLineEdit works, but I need to rig up a scrolling mechanism for when the text does not fit in the area allocated. |
| [03:58:01] | iamlindoro: | I have often felt that mythUI needs the ability to have a scroller on a widget, or at least the group widget |
| [03:58:11] | iamlindoro: | It seems key to making settings MythUI, to me |
| [04:01:18] | jpabq: | I have not put any thought into how to handle the scrolling yet, but it does need to work. I got started on this road because of the need to setup a "custom" record, and I could see the SQL query getting long in some complex cases. |

| [20:31:49] | jpabq: | Bummer. A QTextLayout does not handle \n . If you want to force a newline, you have to use multiple QTextLayout objects. Not that much more complicated from a text layout perspective, but does complicate cursor management. |
| [20:34:16] | stuartm: | :/ |
| [20:35:57] | jpabq: | Each QTextLayout is expected to be a "paragraph" within the "document". |
| [20:45:15] | stuartm: | that might not be a fatal problem as we only use a multiline textarea in one place currently and that's for editing SQL, newlines aren't a requirement there |
| [20:46:35] | iamlindoro: | Well, "we" is relative, I have my multiline textedit definition used in the video metadata editor for plot |
| [20:48:58] | jpabq: | I *think* I can make it work. I will have to see.... |

| [22:12:02] | sphery: | and one in the frontend's "Change Recording Metadata" popup (what used to be the "Change Recording Title" now allows changing description, too). |
| [22:44:55] | iamlindoro: | jpabq: re: your documentation for your new feature (thank you for adding docs!)... isn't a point (which you used) different from a pixel (which I think you mean?)? |
| [22:45:11] | iamlindoro: | I thought a point was a typographical measurement |
| [22:45:51] | iamlindoro: | ie, a point is only == a pixel at 72dpi |
| [22:48:57] | jpabq: | iamlindoro, you are correct. Brain fart on my part. I was actually going to ask you to look that over and fix it so people could understand the concept --- I am well aware that I am terrible at explaining what is in my head! |
| [22:49:50] | jpabq: | iamlindoro, Probably should have pointed out that those features only work with the development branch. |
| [22:50:49] | iamlindoro: | Well, aside from that it reads okay to me... and I guess maybe clarify that it's the negative area that implements margins |
| [23:01:00] | iamlindoro: | jpabq: looks good |
| [23:01:33] | iamlindoro: | Sincere thanks for documenting-- we're lagging a bit behind (myself included) and I'm always happy to see updates go into the docs |
| [23:02:34] | jpabq: | Personally, I have found that being able to specify positions like that, make inheriting base elements a LOT more useful. I am just trying to make it easier on Theme developers. |
| [23:04:13] | iamlindoro: | certainly offsets/margins for buttonareas sould be really helpful |
| [23:04:24] | iamlindoro: | er could |
