docs(ContainerWidget): cross-reference TXDSP-style alias fallback at drag MIME-set (#3056). Principle III.#3096
Conversation
…drag MIME-set (#3056). Principle III. Adds a brief comment in ContainerWidget::onTitleBarDragStart immediately above the setData call, pointing future composite-tile authors at the aliasing fallback in AppletPanel::dropEvent (added in #1836 / PR #3044). Without the cross-reference, a future author wrapping another internal container (e.g. an RXDSP-style composite) would touch the sender side first, ship the same m_id != AppletEntry.id mismatch, and never know that the receiver has a safety net catching it. Pure documentation — no behavioral change, no symbol/signature edits. Blast radius: comment-only edit. PreToolUse hook flagged 37 transitive callers (risk_score=0.208, top: MainWindow ctor/buildUI, AppletPanel ctor), but none can be affected by adding a multi-line comment inside an existing function body.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the cross-reference — that drag-MIME-set site is exactly the kind of place where a pointer to related logic helps future readers. One concern, though: the comment as written doesn't match the current state of the code it's pointing at.
The fallback being referenced no longer exists.
The new comment says:
AppletPanel::dropEvent has an aliasing fallback that catches the mismatch by looking up the container instead of the AppletEntry. See #1836.
But AppletPanel::dropEvent (src/gui/AppletPanel.cpp:128-158) currently just does a direct m_appletOrder[i].id == draggedId match — there's no container-lookup fallback. The existing comment right above that loop (lines 136-139) explicitly says:
Composite tiles (e.g. TXDSP) set ContainerWidget::setDragId() at construction so the drag MIME payload matches AppletEntry.id directly — no fallback lookup needed (#3057, supersedes #1836 workaround).
And the TXDSP construction site at AppletPanel.cpp:758-763 reinforces this:
...drag identity and container identity are deliberately separate concepts here. (#3057, supersedes #1836 dropEvent fallback)
So #1836 was the old workaround that was removed, and the current mechanism is the setDragId() / dragId() split in ContainerWidget itself.
Suggested rewrite for the new comment:
// dragId() returns the composite's drag identity, which may differ
// from m_id (the container's persistence key). Composite tiles
// (e.g. TXDSP wraps a tx_dsp container) call setDragId() so the
// MIME payload matches their owning AppletEntry.id directly — see
// AppletPanel.cpp's TXDSP setup and dropEvent (#3057, which
// superseded the older #1836 fallback workaround).That keeps the cross-reference (the original goal of the PR) but accurately describes the current mechanism instead of pointing readers at a fallback that isn't there. Otherwise the diff is appropriately small and well-scoped — just want the comment to age well.
