set index in i18n.qml to -1, old settings were just for reading from the bogus model
current model uses strings, so index fails to read from it. This fixes cala crashing on loading i18n.qml
- already had methods for various kinds of broken-up data, but
not one for plain "region/zone" strings; having this makes
it easier for QML to report a zone.
- use the region/zone method from QML, so that clicking on the
world map updates the actual TZ in Config.
- get network status from the global Network object; document that
- get the strings describing the language and LC settings from
the config-object instead of roll-our-own
- use the model of supported locales from Config to populate listboxes
- connect selection of language or LC to the Config object
- remove stray and useless TODOs
- remove unnecessary empty overrides
- clean up includes
- drop all the code that is now in Config
Since the business logic (setting locations, maintaining GS, ...)
is all in the Config object, the ViewStep is remarkably simple:
hook up a UI to the Config, which in the case of QML is done
automatically.
This makes it possible to remove QML from Calamares, possibly yielding
a smaller, lighter installer; it takes with it the nice slideshow,
modern configurable navigation and the QML UIs built for various modules.
By default, WITH_QML is on and the "normal" feature set is retained.
- look for Qml modules only when WITH_QML is on (the default)
- look for Network, since that's pulled in only implicitly
- disable the QML Calamares models (modules/*q) if no QML is
enabled; longer-term plan is to merge the **pages** back to
the "upstream" modules, and have things be run-time switchable,
but that's not here yet. Also disable the notesqml module when
QML is off.
fully implemented:
* loading of a live map, ESRI based, zooming & dragging possible
* IP address is translated to map coordinates
* loading of the map centers to the obtained coordinates, with a marker set
* coordinates are translated to a timezone, label visible at bottom of the map
* mouse movement will show changing coordinates
* clicking on new location will center map there, marker moved too, timezone label adjusted
* hasInternet switch set to either load Map.qml or Offline.qml
not done:
* get hasInternet status
* fill the fine-tune 181n.qml with proper locale & language data
* connect the obtained timezone to globalstorage
comments are left in the various files for what needs attention/changes
probably due to dynamically loading items
regionModel now lists, zonesModel only lists one delegate, but
working on QML modules can now continue without crashing cala
- io.calamares.modules doesn't exist
- ResponsiveBase doesn't exist
The module is now non-functional, but at least it loads and renders
a list of regions and zones.
