- Keep the floating panel near the selection and inside the viewport
- Persist the toggle and hide the panel without a selection
- Show only Material in 3D Visualization
PICKADD 0 = click/box/lasso replaces the selection (Shift toggles),
empty click clears; PICKADD 1 (default) keeps today's accumulate.
PICKDRAG 1 = press-drag spans a rectangle marquee through the box
machinery; PICKDRAG 0 (default) keeps the freeform lasso. Both persist
in settings.json. Also re-points the start-page gate test at the
start_allowed fn it moved into (#388/389 refactor left it broken).

Modern DWG (R2000+) has no file slot for OSMODE — reading a file left
the header at 0, and adopt_header_sysvars wiped the user's running snap
set on every open. Persist the set (as an $OSMODE-style bitmask) in
settings.json, save it on every snap toggle, and only let a file
override it when it actually carries a nonzero mask (R13/R14 DWG, DXF).

'>' button after the Command: label turns the leading-'>' literal-space
behavior into a mode: while on, Space stays in the line instead of
submitting, until toggled off. State persists in settings.json; a
hand-typed leading '>' still works for a single line.

App preferences were spread across six flat plain-text files (settings.txt,
recent.txt, recent_limit.txt, statusbar.txt, ribbon.txt, plot.txt), each with a
bespoke line parser and no grouping. Replace them with a single grouped JSON,
serialized via serde (enabling the derive feature; serde_json was already a
dependency).
- New app/config.rs: AppConfig { settings, recent, statusbar, ribbon, plot } →
<config>/settings.json (pretty JSON), load()/save().
- Make UserSettings, StatusBarConfig/StatusPill, CollapseMode and
PlotDialogState serde-derived; #[serde(skip)] marks the plot dialog's runtime
fields so only print preferences persist. Their bespoke .txt load/save is
removed.
- App gains current_config/apply_config/save_config: one AppConfig::load at
startup distributes into live state; every settings-change site
(persist_settings_if_changed, recent add/remove/limit, status-bar pill
toggle, ribbon density, plot commit) routes through save_config, which diffs
against the last write to avoid thrashing.
- Clean start: the old flat files are ignored (no migration). ocad.pgp stays a
separate hand-editable file.

Ortho and the running object-snap set are stored in the drawing header
($ORTHOMODE / $OSMODE) since they were bound to the file, so persisting them
app-globally in settings.txt too was redundant. Remove the ortho, osnap and
snap_modes keys (and the now-dead modes_from / snap_id / snap_from_id helpers)
from UserSettings, and stop reading/writing them in apply_settings /
current_settings.
No boot behavior change: Snapper::new already defaults to the same running-snap
set (Endpoint, Midpoint, Center, Node, Quadrant, Intersection, Nearest) with
the master off, and Ortho defaults to false — exactly what settings.txt used to
seed. Old settings.txt files keep working; the stale keys are simply ignored.

Ortho and the running object-snap set were app-global (settings.txt only) and
Isolate/Hide was a session-only view state, so none survived save/reopen and
none were per-drawing. Bind all three to the file like AutoCAD:
- Ortho -> header.ortho_mode ($ORTHOMODE); running OSNAP <-> header
.object_snap_mode ($OSMODE bitmask) via a new SnapType<->bit map in settings
(osmode_from_snaps / snaps_from_osmode, round-trip tested). The header is the
per-drawing store, live state mirrors the active drawing: adopt header->live
on open and tab-switch, stamp live->header on save and when leaving a tab, a
fresh drawing inherits the current values, and SETVAR ORTHOMODE/OSMODE now
also update the live state. settings.txt stays as the boot/new-drawing
default; the per-file header overrides it on open.
- Isolate/Hide now set each entity's persisted invisible flag (DXF code 60,
which acadrust round-trips in DXF and DWG) in addition to the session set;
End Isolation clears it. The set is reseeded from invisible entities on load
and after undo/redo, the commands are undoable and mark the tab dirty. The
renderer already skipped invisible entities, so no render change was needed.

TEXTFILL 1 (default) fills TrueType text; TEXTFILL 0 draws it hollow
(outline only). Settable directly or via SETVAR, 0/1 or ON/OFF. SHX/LFF
stroke fonts are unaffected.
Reuses the existing stroke-SDF path: bake_glyph treats a TTF glyph as a
stroke (outline) field instead of a signed fill field when TEXTFILL is
off. Toggling resets the glyph atlas and re-tessellates text so quads
pick up the re-baked tiles. Persisted in user settings.

A periodic subscription (every SAVETIME minutes — default 10, 0 disables)
writes a <name>.sv$ recovery copy of each dirty, already-saved drawing at its
own DWG version. Non-destructive: it never touches the original file or the
dirty flag, and skips unsaved (path-less) tabs. The SAVETIME command
sets/queries the interval and persists it. Recovery files (.sv$ and .bak) open
through the normal Open dialog — the loader detects DWG vs DXF from the leading
magic bytes, and a "Backup / Autosave" filter lists them.

`FILEASSOC 1` (re)registers the app as a .dwg/.dxf/.bak handler; `FILEASSOC 0`
unregisters it (removes the .desktop + CAD mime package on Linux, the per-user
registry keys on Windows); bare `FILEASSOC` reports the current state. The
choice persists (file_assoc_enabled) and gates the every-launch
re-registration, so turning it off stays off across restarts.

- Save: overwriting an existing file first copies it to a sibling <name>.bak
(default on; toggle with the ISAVEBAK command, persisted in settings).
- Open: .bak is a first-class type — the Open dialog lists it and the loader
detects DWG vs DXF from the file's leading magic bytes (the extension hides
the real format).
- File association registers .bak too, every launch (so users who associated
earlier get it automatically): Windows via the registry; Linux via a
high-priority shared-mime-info magic that resolves DWG/DXF content under the
.bak extension, with the generic *.bak glob claimed only once the app is the
default DWG handler — so it never hijacks other apps' backups.

Replaces the opt-in `rmb_enter` setting (and `RMBENTER` command) with
always-on behavior. While a command is active, the first viewport
right-click acts as Enter (commit / close) and a second consecutive
right-click opens the context menu instead. Idle right-click still opens
the menu; right-drag still orbits.
The cycle is tracked per tab (`right_click_entered`) and restarts on any
other interaction — a left-click pick, a new command, an orbit, or
leaving the viewport — so the next right-click is Enter again.
Refines #185.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Adds a configurable right-mouse-button behavior without disturbing orbit
or the context menu.
- New persisted setting `rmb_enter` (command `RMBENTER [ON|OFF]`, default
off): when on, a right-click while a command is active acts as Enter
(commit/close); when idle it still opens the context menu. Right-drag
always orbits, so nothing is lost.
- Right-click vs orbit is now time-based: orbit engages only after the
button is held >=150ms and the pointer moves, so a quick right-click is
no longer swallowed by slight pointer jitter (was an 8px distance gate).
- The right-click Repeat menu now lists commands from every source
(command line, ribbon, context menu, shortcuts) via a unified
recents list recorded at the dispatch choke point, instead of only
typed commands.
Closes#185

The BACKGROUND command set a per-tab colour that was lost on restart and
didn't apply to new drawings, so there was no way to make a non-black
background stick. Persist the chosen model/paper background in UserSettings
(settings.txt) and re-apply it on launch and to every drawing tab created
afterward.
- settings.rs: persist `bg_color` / `paper_bg_color` as 0–255 RGB triplets.
- App gains `default_bg_color` / `default_paper_bg_color`; current_settings /
apply_settings round-trip them, and apply_settings pushes the restored
colour onto existing tabs. New/opened/replaced tabs call `apply_bg_default`.
- BACKGROUND updates the persisted default, saved centrally via
persist_settings_if_changed; RESET clears it.

Merge PR #130 (KarimJerbi) and resolve review findings:
- Conflict (settings.rs): keep current persisted-settings layout, append
texteditmode field.
- Conflict (command/mod.rs): keep both new CmdResult variants — main's
live-entity ops and the PR's text-edit suspend/resume.
- Bug: invalid TEXTEDITMODE value no longer aborts via the Measurement
arm; it now re-prompts with the error and stays active.
- Dedup: single parse_texteditmode() helper replaces the value parsing
duplicated across commands.rs, settings.rs and textedit.rs.
- Strip trailing whitespace.

Make grid-snap a per-drawing view setting like grid visibility: drop it
from the persisted OSNAP set (settings.txt) and round-trip it through each
viewport's VPort SNAPMODE instead.
Grid display and grid-snap are now stored per model tile (like render
mode), written to and read from each tile's *Active VPort entry. The live
toggles mirror the active tile, and grid/snap are adopted from the active
viewport whenever it changes — on file load, tab switch, model-tile
activation, and new drawing — so they follow the active viewport rather
than a global preference.

Grid on/off now round-trips through the drawing's *Active VPort, so it is a
per-file view setting like every other CAD app treats it. Drop show_grid
from UserSettings (and its settings.txt key) and instead adopt the opened
file's saved grid_on on load. A legacy "grid=" line in an old settings file
is harmlessly ignored.

- Adds TEXTEDIT command to seamlessly edit annotation objects in-place.
- Matches industry-standard CAD tools' prompt behavior and "Current settings" banner logic.
- Implements the TEXTEDITMODE system variable (0/1) for Multiple vs Single editing modes.
- Enhances command lifecycle with CmdResult::SuspendForTextEdit and post_editor_closed hooks, allowing commands to cleanly pause and resume after external UI editors close.
Add a Plugin Manager marketplace that installs external add-ons from a
GitHub repo's Releases. A curated registry (plugins/registry.json in this
repo, extended by PR) lists discoverable plugins; the host fetches it,
shows each entry with a release dropdown, and on install downloads the
asset matching the user's platform plus plugin.toml into the plugins
folder (API-version checked first). Users can also link arbitrary
owner/repo manually. Linked repos persist in settings.
Desktop only (ureq + serde_json); the install path reuses the phase-2
loader. Part of the #100 extensibility epic (phase 2).

The manager was a read-only inventory. Each plugin now has an
Enable/Disable toggle: a disabled plugin keeps its manifest listed but
drops its ribbon tab and command dispatch. The disabled-id set persists
in settings.txt (disabled_plugins=) and the ribbon rebuilds on toggle.
Part of the #100 extensibility epic.

On the first launch that hasn't answered it yet, the app shows a small
dialog offering to become the default handler for .dwg and .dxf files.
The choice is persisted (default_assoc_prompted) so the prompt never
reappears.
The platform plumbing lives in io/file_association.rs:
* Windows — opens the OS's own per-app default-programs dialog via
IApplicationAssociationRegistrationUI::LaunchAdvancedAssociationUI,
passing the "Open CAD Studio" RegisteredApplications name the MSI
registers. Modern Windows guards the actual default behind a
UserChoice hash, so this is the supported consent path.
* Linux — xdg-mime default against the installed .desktop file, whose
MimeType entries already cover image/vnd.dwg and image/vnd.dxf.
* macOS — LSSetDefaultRoleHandlerForContentType binds the DWG/DXF UTIs
declared in Info.plist to the app bundle id.
The work runs on a dedicated thread (the Windows dialog is modal) with
the result delivered back through a oneshot channel and surfaced in the
command line.

PR #80 added the internal SnapType::ObjectPick variant, which left the
exhaustive snap_id match in the settings module non-exhaustive and broke
the build after the merge. Map it to a stable id; it is not a
user-toggleable OSNAP mode, so it never enters SNAP_ORDER or the
persisted set.

DYN, ORTHO, POLAR, the polar increment, the grid toggle and the
object-snap configuration (OSNAP on/off, active snap modes, OTRACK)
reset to defaults on every launch. Persist them to a per-user
settings.txt, matching the existing recent-files / status-bar stores
(plain key=value, no serialization crate).
Settings load on boot and apply to live state; the update wrapper
snapshots them after each message and writes only on change, so a
toggle survives a restart without thrashing the file. LWT is left out
on purpose — it is a drawing header variable, not a UI preference.
