LeoVasanko 49232f11cc Fix rename flow: KeepAlive-cached view watchers cleared cursor on stale props
Deactivated FileExplorer/Gallery instances stay alive in KeepAlive with
frozen, potentially empty document props. Their empty-folder watcher
cleared store.cursor and yanked focus to the breadcrumb on every cursor
change, breaking rename via gallery pen and keyboard entry into the
file list, and hiding the explorer rename button.

- Guard cursor watchers in FileExplorer/Gallery with an isActive flag
  (set on activated, cleared on deactivated)
- Declare emits in GalleryFigure (rename/menu fell through to the root
  anchor as native listeners)
- Show the explorer rename button on row hover with a delayed fade-in
  instead of only on the keyboard-focused row

Cista Vue Frontend

The frontend is a Single-Page App implemented with Vue 3. Development uses the Vite server together with the main Python backend, but in production the latter also serves the prebuilt frontend files.

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

Type Support for .vue Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

  1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
    1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
    2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
  2. Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.

Hot-Reload for Development

Run the backend

uv sync --dev
uv run cista --dev -l :8000

And the Vite server (in another terminal)

cd frontend
bun install
bun run dev

Browse to Vite, which will proxy API requests to port 8000. Both servers live reload changes.

Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production

This is also called by uv build during Python packaging:

bun run build
