Format UI measurements, snap angles, ladder increments, edge-color values, Preferences labels, counts, and step/page labels using the widget locale without grouping. Preserve numeric table sorting with stored count values and trim localized zero digits correctly. Give float/double formatting and float parsing explicit helper names.
Mark HTML export titles, navigation, alternate text, and credits for translation, escape translated text, and declare UTF-8 output. Keep numbers in HTML, piece-list images, and print/PDF output in ASCII. Include the pending command-status translation drafts in all eight language catalogs, preserving their unfinished review status.
Validation: macOS Qt debug build, display and count-sorting checks across ten locales, all three HTML layouts with test translations under an Arabic numeric locale, and ASCII print/image checks. All eight catalogs pass XML, changed-placeholder, and lrelease validation.
Rename the localized float parser to lcParseFloatValueLocalized and return std::optional<float> so conversion failures and nonfinite values cannot silently become zero. Return std::optional<lcVector3> from GetTransformAmount and apply transforms only when every nonempty axis is valid, preserving blank axes as zero.
Validate all Array offsets and rotations before updating dialog results, and show an informational message with focus on invalid input. Verified with a macOS Qt debug build and actual Array/transform checks in US English, German, and Arabic locales, including blank input, overflow, NaN, and infinity.
Show recoverable rendering, export, library, and network failures as warnings.
Default Blender messages to Warning, keep renderer startup failures Critical,
and remove the duplicate Blender installation failure dialog.
Replace 28 ordinary Blender helper calls with QMessageBox statics while
retaining specialized dialogs with informative text, details, or update
preferences. Preserve confirmation buttons and defaults and suppress static
startup/export messages without a main window. Rename the failed-result
helper to ShowResultError and refresh catalog locations and retired strings.
Validation: Qt 6.10 debug build; catalog coverage for all 2,056 active messages
and existing translation preservation; git diff --check.
Replace manual piece-data retain/release bookkeeping with shared copyable
asset-reference handles. Pieces, models, selection, minifigs, thumbnails,
and stored insertion previews retain their dependencies explicitly, while
transient queries continue to borrow pointers.
Separate registered lookup and acquisition from asynchronous load requests
and explicit readiness waits. Keep loader-held references through work and
notification delivery, resetting shared request handles on the UI thread
and guarding callback-triggered library teardown.
Validated with the Qt 6.10 debug build and 26 offscreen lifecycle checks,
including cancellation, stale requests, copy/move operations, model/preview
teardown, undo, project merge/export, and loader shutdown.
Use PieceData consistently for the shared part/model record, its related
APIs and variables, and its source files. Keep the existing reference
counting and loading behavior so ownership and readiness changes can be
reviewed separately.
Large models can extend beyond the default far plane after fitting,
leaving the view blank or clipped. Pass an explicit adjustment flag
through view, model, and camera fitting, and reuse the fitted bounds
to expand clipping with a margin, rounded up to multiples of 10,000.
Adjust restored ordinary cameras after applying their saved state.
Preserve named cameras and explicit command-line clipping planes,
and avoid recalculating clipping during redraws or navigation.
Route output fitting through the view and move the bounds policy
definition out of the precompiled header.
Report missing generated meshes and failed image writes, keep thumbnails and interactive geometry using their fallback behavior, and frame command-line images at the requested step or full range. Use explicit mesh loader flags and reject incomplete synthesized meshes. Keep selection and ray tests aligned with the rendered mesh.
Keep project-local piece mappings separate from library pieces and preserve references across rename, merge, delete, and Save As.
Remap local external pieces after Save As, retain texture source order, invalidate stale loads, and refresh previews and thumbnails after asset changes. Save projects atomically and preserve active model selection in the model list.
Queue model geometry builds and mesh conversion on workers so project opening can return after parsing. Keep complete-asset waits for previews and output, and show project loading progress in the status bar.
Preserve live pieces when project names overlap, restore mappings after failed loads, and include detached pieces in buffer and stud-style updates.
- Draw a shared cube for parts whose meshes or textures are still loading.
- Update model bounds, picking, views, and loading status as assets complete.
- Wait for required assets before thumbnails, screenshots, instructions,
and geometry exports; report failures instead of rendering placeholders.
- Render and pick direct geometry in external projects.
- Defer shared buffer repacking until pending loads finish.
