collapse/resize params drawer

[sneakers-the-rat]

Got a verbal issue from someone at poster session yesterday, they say their main problem was that they want to hide the params pane while they are doing surgeries - gets in the way of the video.

For reference, this is the acquisition window:

The window can't be resized once it's opened, but @fnsangiul says you can change the window size before clicking "run" by editing the windowScale parameter in the user config: ( eg. here:

Miniscope-DAQ-QT-Software/userConfigs/UserConfigExample-primary.json

Line 141 in a9482d4

"windowScale": 0.75,

). so that might help some things in the short term?

So things that might be nice here:

Make the window resizeable

the window is initialized here:

Miniscope-DAQ-QT-Software/source/videodevice.cpp

Line 145 in a9482d4

void VideoDevice::createView()

specifically:

Miniscope-DAQ-QT-Software/source/videodevice.cpp

Lines 162 to 164 in a9482d4

	view->setWidth(m_cDevice["width"].toInt() * m_ucDevice["windowScale"].toDouble(1));
	view->setHeight(m_cDevice["height"].toInt() * m_ucDevice["windowScale"].toDouble(1));

Since windowScale is used there to change the window size without modifying the other qt widgets elsewhere, it seems like we should be able to just enable window resizing.

The default resizeMode makes the view object take the size of the root qml object: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qquickview.html#ResizeMode-enum
and the qml object then takes the width and height of the parent:

Miniscope-DAQ-QT-Software/source/Miniscope_V4_BNO.qml

Lines 10 to 12 in a9482d4

	width: parent.width
	height: parent.height
	state: "controlsShown"

so I think we just need to set sizePolicy.Expanding on that item? idk i don't rly use or like qml/qtquick

move controls to a separate pane

currently the controls are overlaid on the image, which could get in the way. additionally important controls are hidden in the top drawer and not very discoverable. I think we should probably move those off to a panel on the side so they don't obscure the frame at all.

Also since ppl will be using this software while doing a surgery, we should probably also add hotkey bindings to some of the controls, particularly the focus plane, so people can mash at them without needing to use the mouse.
