rubraview 0.0.4

Toolbox and menu that change with what is on screen (D-15), keys from the
keymap alone — arrows play, Ctrl+arrows size the window, Alt+arrows move it
(D-16) — and Always on top (D-17).

Going back to 0.0.3 after running this version: a keymap.ini this version
saves names its playback section [media], which 0.0.3 does not read, so
the keys in it are lost there. Delete keymap.ini first.

Added

• Volume and mute (D-15): Up / Down change the volume 5 % at a time
  while a video or music page is on screen, Shift+M mutes; the OSD says
  the level, and settings.ini keeps it ([audio] volume, mute).
• The floating boxes' anchors read M (menu) and T (toolbox), and Alt
  • wheel over a box makes it more or less see-through, 5 % a step, never
    below 30 %; each box keeps its own ([ui] menubox_opacity,
    toolbox_opacity). A lone Alt no longer puts the window in menu mode.
• The toolbox changes with what is on screen (RFC-0002): a video gets
  Play/Pause, Stop, ±5 s, volume, mute, subtitles and sound track; music its
  own row with previous and next; an animated picture frame steps; a
  multi-page TIFF page steps; a comic archive layout, reading order and
  volumes; a picture today's tiles. A running slide show adds Stop slides.
• The menu box has File (Open file, Open folder, Recent, volumes, Rename,
  Delete, Export, Batch, Settings, Quit), View, Playback (while a video or
  music page is on screen), Show (with the boxes' opacity) and Help (Keys,
  About). Tiles and menu come from one internal document, checked by
  check-actions.py.
• A timeline above the information bar while a video or music plays:
  elapsed, a seek bar to click or drag, total, volume and speed.
• Playback speed 0.25x–4x (Ctrl+] / Ctrl+[, Ctrl+\ for normal, the
  toolbox's speed tile cycles the usual ones); the sound is resampled, so
  its pitch follows. A-B repeat: [ sets A, ] sets B, \ turns it off,
  or the toolbox's A-B tile.
• The toolbox can be pinned open (Shift+T, Show › Pin toolbox; its
  anchor shows *) and detached into a small window of its own that stays
  on top (Ctrl+T, Show › Detach toolbox, or drag its anchor past the edge);
  Dock brings it back.
• Always on top (owner request): a Pin button on the hover titlebar (lit
  while on), the menu's first tile On top: on/off, Ctrl+Shift+T, and
  Always on top on the settings window's General page; it is kept.
• The hover titlebar draws its Box button (put the floating boxes back),
  which was there to click but never drawn.
• The window from the keyboard (D-16): Ctrl + arrows make it narrower,
  wider, shorter or taller, Alt + arrows move it, 40 px a step.
• scripts/check-actions.py: every key, tile and menu item is handled, and
  everything handled is reachable.

Fixed

• T or the titlebar's box button while the toolbox was its own window
  drew a second toolbox inside the viewer; both now put the window back.
• The reading history's time was seconds since the machine started, so
  after a restart "newest" meant nothing; it is the date now. Entries
  written before sort as the oldest.

Changed

• While a video or music page is on screen, Left / Right seek 5 s
  (they were Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right, which now size the window). The
  playback context is [media]; a keymap.ini that says [animation]
  still loads. Up to the folder is Ctrl+Backspace (was Ctrl+Up).
• An open box sits beside its anchor and inside the window; by the
  bottom-right corner the toolbox used to open over its own anchor and off
  the screen.
• The four Alt + arrow "pan" bindings, which did nothing, are gone.
• F2 renames the file, as in Explorer; it no longer also opened the toolbox,
  which is T (D-14). Until now F2 reached the toolbox and rename could not
  be started from the keyboard. A keymap.ini saved earlier keeps T, F2 for
  the toolbox — the Keys page marks it; Delete on that row takes F2 off.
