Unfortunately the X11 focus workaround that opens the File menu cannot
be simply removed. Without this workaround, when KDE Plasma's Focus
stealing prevention level is set to Low (which is the default) or
higher, launching a second GoldenDict instance doesn't give focus to the
already running instance unless that instance's main window is currently
hidden into system tray or minimized. A workaround of hiding then
showing the main window makes the window flicker. Suggesting GoldenDict
users to set the focus stealing prevention level to None is not right,
because this setting is global and affects all applications.
Emulate a left mouse button click at position (0, 0) instead of (1, 1)
in order to waste 1 rather than 2 pixels to the left of the menu bar.
Introduce a new macro X11_MAIN_WINDOW_FOCUS_WORKAROUNDS to link the X11
focus workaround to the File menu workaround introduced in this commit.
This simplifies disabling all related workarounds at once. When the
focus workaround is replaced with a proper solution, the developer won't
forget to remove all obsolete workarounds if they are linked together.
Fixes #781.
Most callers of these member functions should escape wildcard symbols in
the `text` argument. Yet nothing in the functions' signatures suggested
such escaping. With the added enum WildcardPolicy argument, the callers
are forced to decide whether or not the wildcards should be escaped.
Preferences::sanitizeInputPhrase() transforms an input phrase by
removing its whitespace/punctuation prefix and suffix. Translating a
phrase from X11 primary selection or from clipboard, via mouse-over or
from the command line results in such sanitization. This is useful when
a punctuation mark or a space is selected accidentally alongside a word.
This sanitization can be undesirable, however, when an abbreviated word
is selected. For example: "etc.", "e.g.", "i.e.".
This commit implements searching for the input word with the punctuation
suffix preserved as an alternative form of the sanitized word to show
articles for both. For example, when the word "etc." is translated from
the clipboard, both "ETC" and "etc." articles are displayed.
The punctuation suffix is preserved when the word is passed from the
scan popup to the main window and when the translate line text is
refreshed (e.g. when the current group is changed). The suffix is not
stored in history and favorites (doing so would require file format
changes and possibly substantial code changes, this can be implemented
later if need be).
Trim the input phrase once in ArticleNetworkAccessManager::getResource()
instead of verbose trimming in multiple places in
ArticleMaker::makeDefinitionFor().
Closes #1350.
When a Wikipedia article is already cached, this change reduces the
amount of sent and received network data almost tenfold.
Setting up a network disk cache in the same way for dictNetMgr does not
noticeably impact the amount of network traffic. Either this network
access manager sends and receives very little data or the data is never
the same. So dictNetMgr does not need a disk cache.
Use QNetworkDiskCache's default maximum size of 50 MiB as the default
network cache size. This size is large enough to accommodate tens of
huge MediaWiki articles. It is also small enough that the user is
unlikely to run out of disk space because of the cache.
Clear network cache on exit by default because most users probably
don't load the same online articles after restarting GoldenDict. Plus
storing the network cache on disk indefinitely by default would be a new
and unexpected to the users privacy risk.
Nikita Moor came up with the idea and wrote an initial network disk
cache implementation in #1310.
For example, looking up "United States" in my local dictionaries, then
pressing Ctrl++ to increase zoom factor from 1 to 5 takes 4 seconds with
this change and 25 seconds without it. The same scaling takes 6 seconds
with this change and 45 seconds without when I enable English Wikipedia,
which has a particularly large "United States" article.
There is a workaround that speeds up zooming: look up a nonexistent
word, scale to the desired level, then go back to the large articles.
But this is tedious if large articles are open in scan popup or
in case of many tabs in the main window.
* #undef Bool with Qt4 as well as with Qt5.
* #undef min, #undef max from <X11/Xlibint.h>.
* #include <fixx11h.h> just after hotkeywrapper.hh. Unfortunately this
header can not be included in hotkeywrapper.hh directly because
some of the undef-ed words are actually used in hotkeywrapper.cc.
* #include <fixx11h.h> after <X11/Xlib.h> in mainwindow.cc just in case
hotkeywrapper.hh stops including this Xlib.h header in the future.
These changes should make future compilation errors less likely.
For example, without "#undef min" in hotkeywrapper.hh, including
<iomanip> in mainwindow.cc after the mainwindow.hh include resulted in
the following GCC 8 compilation error:
/usr/include/c++/8.2.1/bits/locale_facets_nonio.tcc:945:22:

* add a new interface class AudioPlayerInterface;
* inherit a new proxy class Ffmpeg::AudioPlayer from it;
* partially switch ArlticleView to using the interface;
* expose MainWindow's AudioPlayerInterface instance to all ArticleView
instances;
* add a new AudioPlayerFactory class responsible for creating instances
of concrete classes derived from AudioPlayerInterface depending on
relevant Config::Preferences values;
* increase minimum supported Qt version from 4.5 to 4.6 in README
in order to use QScopedPointer introduced in Qt 4.6.
This forces the jump even when the dictionary is already a current/active dictionary.
This is convenient for the following use-cases:
1. User manually scrolls far away from the current dictionary and would like to return.
2. User jumps far away from the current dictionary when doing search (Ctrl+F).
3. User scrolls a huge article and would like to get back to the beginning of it.
