| 8 | | * Templates allow the user to create book elements suchs as frames, pages and books that have certain pre-defined characteristics. |
| 9 | | * The newly created elements may override the properties of the template. |
| 10 | | * Editing the template should update all objects that it is applied to. |
| 11 | | * Locking a property, prevents any changes to it. |
| | 8 | * The templating library needs to be of not great complexity, so that persisting and copying is done easily. |
| | 9 | * The main issue is that when deriving mutable objects and then making changes to them results in derived objects with local changes, which are hard to handle. |
| 14 | | * Define a library that supports templating a pro-objects. |
| 15 | | * There should be a different behaviour for immutables and mutables. |
| 16 | | * Use composition instead of inheritance to prevent coliding with resources. |
| 17 | | * Define a basic GUI in halos/huds for creating and manipulating templates and locking. |
| 18 | | * Define frames, pages and books templates pallete in the library tab. |
| 19 | | * The frame properties that need to be templated can be seen FRAME_TEMPLATES_R0 |
| 20 | | * The page properties that need to be templated can be seen at PAGE_TEMPLATE_BEHAVIOUR_R0 |
| | 12 | * The goal of this revision is to reduce the complexity of the templating library. |
| | 13 | * It should not be possible there to be a derived object with local changes. |
| 26 | | * The template and the element are an instance of the same class. For example, the template of a frame is also a frame. |
| 27 | | * Properties that are templated should be defined as auto properties, which will calculate their values based on the template of the object. |
| 28 | | * Page and frame templates should be global for each book. |
| 29 | | * Book templates should be global for the app. |
| 30 | | |
| | 19 | * The mode should be set recursively to the bottom of the tree, but the mutable objects themselves should not be derived. |
| | 20 | * Create an enumeration for the different modes of a templated property. |
