Stage-10 editor-UX follow-up ("typing the path by hand is very hard to
use"). Both project dialogs gain a Browse… button that opens the native
folder picker via rfd's xdg-portal backend — pure Rust, one build works
on Wayland and X11 through xdg-desktop-portal. The dialog runs on a
helper thread reporting over an mpsc channel (polled once per frame in
Shell::build), so the editor keeps rendering while the picker is up;
one pick at a time, and the typed path field remains as a fallback for
portal-less environments.
GUI piece — needs an eye-check (on both Wayland and Xorg) before
promotion to main.

# Project System
|
|
|
|
`oxide_engine::project` defines what a game is, on disk: a **project**. A project
|
|
is a root directory containing a project file plus a defined folder layout. The
|
|
format lives in the engine (not the editor) because the exported runtime and the
|
|
Stage-16 packer read it too — the editor just adds the create/open/save UI.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
my-game/
|
|
├── project.oxide # the project file (RON)
|
|
├── scenes/ # scene files
|
|
├── assets/ # meshes, textures, audio, …
|
|
└── scripts/ # game scripts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The project file records the project name, the engine version it was saved with,
|
|
the enabled [modules](modules.md), and per-project settings.
|
|
|
|
## Create, open, save
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use oxide_engine::project::Project;
|
|
|
|
// Scaffold a new project (creates the folders + project file).
|
|
let mut project = Project::create("/path/to/my-game", "My Game")?;
|
|
|
|
project.enable_module("render");
|
|
project.save()?;
|
|
|
|
// Reopen later — by directory or by the project file path.
|
|
let project = Project::open("/path/to/my-game")?;
|
|
assert_eq!(project.name(), "My Game");
|
|
assert!(project.is_module_enabled("render"));
|
|
# Ok::<(), oxide_engine::project::ProjectError>(())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Path helpers (`scenes_dir()`, `assets_dir()`, `scripts_dir()`,
|
|
`project_file_path()`) resolve locations against the root. `create` refuses to
|
|
overwrite an existing project; `open` reports `NotFound` when there is no project
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
## Settings storage
|
|
|
|
Per-project settings are stored as **opaque per-section RON blobs** keyed by
|
|
section name, which keeps the project format independent of any particular
|
|
settings schema:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
# use oxide_engine::project::Project;
|
|
# let mut project = Project::create(std::env::temp_dir().join("oxide_doc_proj"), "x").unwrap();
|
|
project.set_settings_section("editor", "(theme:\"dark\")");
|
|
assert_eq!(project.settings_section("editor"), Some("(theme:\"dark\")"));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The typed settings framework serializes its sections to and from these strings,
|
|
so a section round-trips through the project file without this module knowing the
|
|
section's shape.
|
|
|
|
## The editor's New / Open dialogs
|
|
|
|
The editor's **File ▸ New Project… / Open Project…** dialogs wrap
|
|
`Project::create`/`Project::open`. Each path field has a **Browse…** button
|
|
opening the **native folder picker** (`rfd` with the `xdg-portal` backend — one
|
|
pure-Rust build serves both Wayland and X11 through `xdg-desktop-portal`). The
|
|
dialog runs on a helper thread so the editor keeps rendering while it is up;
|
|
the picked folder lands back in the field, which stays hand-editable — if no
|
|
portal service is running the picker simply doesn't appear and the typed path
|
|
still works.
|
|
|
|
## Recent projects
|
|
|
|
`RecentProjects` is a small most-recently-used list, persisted globally as an
|
|
editor preference (not inside any project). It de-duplicates and caps:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
use oxide_engine::project::RecentProjects;
|
|
|
|
let mut recent = RecentProjects::new(10);
|
|
recent.record("/path/to/my-game");
|
|
// recent.save("~/.config/oxide/recent.ron")?; / RecentProjects::load(...)
|
|
assert_eq!(recent.entries().len(), 1);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Who consumes this
|
|
|
|
| Consumer | Stage | Use |
|
|
|----------|-------|-----|
|
|
| Editor | 6 | New/Open/Save Project UI, recent list, Project panel/asset browser |
|
|
| File watcher | 6 | watches `scenes/`, `assets/`, `scripts/` for live reload |
|
|
| Settings framework | 6 | persists per-project sections into the project file |
|
|
| Exported runtime / packer | 16 | reads the layout + enabled modules to bundle the game |
