Type-Category-Based Dialog Interfaces

[Zandario]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently most Fields and Values are set by using strings. Due to this majority of our editing will be with a keyboard, which doesn't always make sense, or worse, even cumbersome.

Describe the solution you'd like

More Input-Focused Dialogs like the ColorDialogInterface.

As making a dedicated dialog for every Type would be INSANE, instead they would be relegated to overarching groups.

Number

The majority of our standard Data-Types, which don't use majority of the keyboard. I will say this would be one of the harder ones to pull off currently.

• Could contain +1, -1, etc. buttons.
• Possibly a Max/Min possible value button as well.

Enums

One of the most annoying types to edit, if it's has a lot of states.

• Could have a list selection for all possible states of the Enum.

DateTime

Unless you know what you are doing, this one looks like black magic.

• Could have an actual calender-based selector

TimeSpan

Ditto of TimeSpan

floatQ

It's currently fine, but custom dialog could allow for a more verbose rotation editing. We could make inputs for both Euler and Quaternion, maybe even add a 3D rotation visual.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maaaaaany more additional verbose custom type WorkerInspector UIs, at which point would fall to #563

Additional Context

Just an idea I've had in my head for the last week.

This would be done either as part of after the inspector rework: https://github.com/Yellow-Dog-Man/Resonite-Issues/issues/563

It's probably something that will be implemented over time - we'll add better customized UI's for some commonly used data types. It's something that we wanted to do, but not before the inspectors themselves are overhauled.

Sounds good to me chief
