Changelog Entry
Description
This pull request introduces the ability to directly open the "About" tab within the Settings Modal by clicking a new "About" link in the Help Menu. It also refactors the Help Menu by adding a "Releases" link and improving existing items. The active tab state for the Settings Modal is now managed globally using a new Svelte store.
Added
Global State for Active Settings Tab: Introduced a new Svelte writable store activeSettingsTabKey in src/lib/stores/index.ts to manage and reflect the currently active tab in the Settings Modal.
In HelpMenu.svelte:
New "About" menu item in the Help menu:
Displays an "Info" icon.
When clicked, it sets activeSettingsTabKey to 'about', opens the Settings Modal to the About section, and then closes the Help Menu.
New "Releases" menu item in the Help menu:
Displays a "Map" icon
When clicked, it opens the Open WebUI GitHub releases page in a new tab and then closes the Help Menu.
Imported Info and Map icons for the new menu items.
Changed
SettingsModal.svelte:
Imports, subscribes to and updates the activeSettingsTabKey store.
When the modal becomes visible (e.g., $show is true), if $activeSettingsTabKey is set to a valid tab ID, the modal will display that specific tab.
When a tab is clicked within the modal, the activeSettingsTabKey store is updated to reflect the newly selected tab's ID.
The activeSettingsTabKey store is explicitly set to null during the initialization script of the SettingsModal component.
HelpMenu.svelte:
Imports showSettings and activeSettingsTabKey stores to interact with the Settings Modal.
The existing "Documentation" menu item:
Now calls onClose() (to close the Help Menu dropdown) after opening the documentation link.
Its id attribute has been updated from chat-share-button to menu-item-documentation for clarity.
The existing "Keyboard Shortcuts" menu item:
Now calls onClose() (to close the Help Menu dropdown) after triggering the shortcuts display.
Its id attribute has been updated (likely from a duplicated chat-share-button) to menu-item-keyboard-shortcuts.
Text updated from $i18n.t('Keyboard shortcuts') to $i18n.t('Keyboard Shortcuts') (capitalization).
Additional Information
This change introduces a more user-friendly way to access application information and release notes.
The global activeSettingsTabKey store provides a more robust way to control the Settings Modal's displayed tab from external components.
