ACE UI App Loader v0.27.0

Changes since 0.26.0

Right-click for options

• Right-click an app to open its options window beside it; right-click the app or the window again to close it.
• The window opens beside the app each time, kept on screen; after Escape/resume it comes back where it was.
• Drag the window somewhere and it opens there from then on.
• A window spot saved by an earlier version no longer pins the window: the next right-click places it beside the app.
• A window growing past the edge of the screen (a section unfolded) moves back inside, and back where it was when the section folds again.
• A window keeps its share of the screen when the game window is resized.
• Hiding the UI in the middle of a drag no longer moves the panel or window.
• Drawer option "Right-click an app for its options" (on by default) turns it off for every app. While it is on, the drawer's own options close on a right-click too.
• DOOM before 0.6.1 also opens its options on a right-click on its screen: update DOOM with the loader.
• The middle and right buttons no longer drag, or end a drag of, panels, windows, scrollbars or order rows, nor open the drawer during a drag.
• "Click at edge" opens the drawer on a left click only.
• A click that moves a window by a pixel or two no longer counts as a drag; it goes back where it was.

For app authors

• define(app, specs, { rightClick: false }) turns it off for the app; { rightClickCloses: false } keeps the window open on its own right-click.
• A later define layout that leaves those two out keeps them.
• me.panel(root, onFrame, { rightClick: false }) keeps one panel out of it.
• data-noright on an element (or the panel root) keeps its right-clicks, and preventDefault in a listener inside the panel keeps its right press.
• New in settings: open(app, near), rightClick, rightClickable, rightClickWindow, besideSpot, stored, BESIDE_GAP_REM, WINDOW_WIDTH.
• New in window: options right, bottom, onRightClick, placed; container(), BORDER_PX. Windows show once laid out.
• New in panel: options onRightClick (returns true when it acted), placed, settle; NO_RIGHT_ATTR, DRAG_SLOP_PX, leftHeld(), guardClicks(root).
• Panel: a position stored after a drag is marked dragged (savePosition(panel, dragged), which stores nothing and returns null while the UI is hidden); moveTo returns the { x, y } it wrote.
• New in core: otherButton(e), RIGHT_BUTTON, HUD_PAGE. New in drawer: rightClickOn().
• Stored settings and folded sections are read from both stores key by key, so a setting newer than an app's HUD record keeps its value.
• A damaged settings or folds record is ignored, and one app's cannot keep another's from being adopted.
• persist.writeHud returns false when the HUD store's write throws, logged once per record; save and the loader's own writers keep the change in localStorage.
• The click after a middle or right press on a panel or the drawer presses nothing (only data-noright exempts a part).
• errorText and safely no longer throw on an error that cannot be printed.
• A browser's own drag and drop does not start inside a panel (except in a data-nodrag part), nor anywhere while one is being dragged.
• Off the HUD page a window no longer waits for a HUD store before it shows.
• A redefine while the app's window is open redraws it: new controls, width and title.
• 279 library browser cases.

UI Capabilities Probe 0.6.0

• New "right button" row: what right presses and releases report, whether a click or contextmenu follows, and a WARN if a right click comes too late; the mouse-buttons row also shows the last release's e.buttons.
