Link to emoji Library from Blocks - Feature Request #345

Closed MAZ06 closed 4 months ago

MAZ06 commented 4 months ago

If I go to the Library, I can see an emoji and get linked to the specific block. For example, 😀 has a link to 1F600 which when clicked takes me back to the Blocks tab with that emoji. That's great, but the opposite is not possible.

For example, if I search for "superhero" in the Blocks tab, there should be a link to "superhero" in the Library tab so I can see all the skin colors. This should apply to all emojis that have similar variations (ie skin color, hair color, etc).

And actually, it may be easier and more useful to just put all the variations in the emoji description itself in the Blocks tab. No need to make an extra step back to the Library.

@MAZ06 I can make a straightforward link, but there are a few things.

  1. How should it look like?
  2. In Qt I use there are problems with QTextBrowser, at least in Qt 6.1.3 I use: cannot display HiDPI images. I wanted to show all emoji using this character, but How should they look like? The bar in Library is just a workaround: I made a custom widget that can display everything I want.

Switching to Qt e.g. 6.7 → lose W7 compatibility

Windows 7 has had no support for 4 years now. I think it's ok to upgrade.

MAZ06 commented 4 months ago

How should it look? I think the same as it is now. Have the default yellow-skin emoji exactly the way it is now but then underneath it show all the variations.

Mercury13 commented 4 months ago

In late 2021, when I switched Qt 6.1 → 6.2, W7 users complained. And I still need some tests whether they have fixed this.

Mercury13 commented 4 months ago

Checked changelogs, did not fix, still they’re saying about QImage which is purely bitmap. Custom drawing? Cannot find a hook I can hang on.

@MAZ06 KATS in Duployan shorthand is also a workaround: if I cannot put an SVG, maybe I’ll draw it as a big character?

Mercury13 commented 4 months ago

@MAZ06 Working, you’ll see how it…

@MAZ06 image Does not work for now, but here it is

How are multiple skin colors handled?

Mercury13 commented 4 months ago

@MAZ06 There will be no skin colours, this is just a link to Library.

@MAZ06 Released, check what I kolkhozed.

MAZ06 commented 4 months ago

@Mercury13 Very nice! Thank you! I may have a few more ideas...
