Version: [5724] Floating Info Tool 1.4.2

1.4.2
- Version bump only (re-release; no functional changes from 1.4.1)
1.4.1
- Fix: Qt6-compatibility checker warnings on plugins.qgis.org - legacy
(pre-scoped) enum fallbacks for older QGIS 3.x now resolved via
getattr so static analysis no longer sees flat enum spellings;
message-bar levels via module-level scoped constants
- Code quality: swallowed non-fatal exceptions now log to the Floating
Info Tool message log instead of silent pass (clears Bandit B110
informational findings)
1.4.0
- New: Copy text pill in the pinned footer - copies the displayed
attributes (aliases + formatted values) as tab-separated field/value
lines with a layer-name header; pill briefly shows "Copied" as
feedback
- New: Copy feature pill - copies the shown feature(s), geometry +
attributes, onto the QGIS clipboard exactly like Edit > Copy Features
(all overlapping features shown are copied)
- New: Edit pill - inline editing of attribute values in the pinned
popup; Save writes via changeAttributeValue inside a single undoable
edit command, starting an edit session automatically if needed;
virtual/joined/read-only/provider-read-only fields shown but locked;
empty value saves NULL; basic int/float/bool validation
- While the edit form is open, Shift types capitals as normal (does
not unpin) and Esc cancels the edit before releasing the pin
1.3.1
- Fix: popup now shrinks correctly when hovering a feature with fewer
attributes after a larger one (layout SetFixedSize constraint; footer
pills no longer stretch to fill leftover space)
1.3.0
- Popup reworked as a child widget of the QGIS main window: it no
longer floats over other applications (a pinned popup previously
stayed on top system-wide, e.g. over a VM), and it now moves and
minimises with QGIS
- Unpinned popup is fully click-through; it becomes interactive only
while pinned
1.2.3
- Fix: pinned footer pill now correctly reads Shift (was still showing
Esc)
1.2.2
- Fix: Shift pin toggle fired multiple times per keystroke (key events
re-delivered up the widget chain reached the app-level filter once per
delivery); now edge-detected on the physical key press
1.2.1
- Shift now toggles pinning (press to pin, press again to release; Esc
still works)
- On release, live hover resumes immediately if the cursor is over the
canvas
1.2.0
- Hint footer moved out of the scrollable area: always visible even
when attributes overflow
- Shift / Ctrl / Esc hints rendered as key-style pills
- New icon: info speech bubble over a folded map
1.1.0
- Pin key changed from Space to Shift, captured application-wide
(Space was reaching the layer panel and toggling layer visibility)
- Mouse wheel over an overflowing popup now scrolls the popup instead
of zooming the map
- Ctrl+hover formalised as 'topmost visible layer under cursor' mode,
noted in the popup footer
- New light/dark popup themes: Auto (follows QGIS theme), Light, Dark
- see the plugin menu
- QGIS Map Tips are paused while the tool is active and restored on
toggle-off
1.0.1
- Fix: fully scoped Qt enums for QGIS 4 / PyQt6 (Qt.WindowType.ToolTip
etc.)
- Fix: version-proof layer type check (Qgis.LayerType.Vector with
legacy fallback)
- New: QGIS Map Tips are paused while the tool is active and restored
on toggle-off
1.0.0
- Initial release
- Hover identify on active layer with floating popup
- Ctrl+hover multi-layer mode
- Space to pin / Esc to unpin, clickable hyperlinks and file paths
- Respects field aliases, hidden fields and editor widget formatters
