feat(ui): export a camera orbit from the ribbon, in the background (#1916, part 2) - #2045
map.exportOrbit (#1943) could be run only from a script, the CLI or Command Search, and it ran to its end on the caller's thread. In the app that meant the window froze for the whole orbit (60 frames of a tilted relief take minutes), with no progress and no way to stop it. It also turned the session's own camera frame by frame, and from the interface's thread its frames didn't wait for cast shadows still being worked out.
What changes
View › Scene › Export Orbit opens a dialog with the command's parameters (frames, turn, width, height, a GIF's frame time; an empty box keeps the default). Export… asks for a .gif or .zip and starts the export. Command Search's map.exportOrbit opens the same dialog.
The orbit is a background export (exports::IN_BACKGROUND, like Export Map): view::orbit_work reads the session once (a detached copy of the map and the view size) and draws every frame from that copy. In the app it runs on a thread of its own through exportjob::start, so the window stays free; the status bar shows "Export Orbit", a progress bar that counts frames, and Cancel. Scripts and the CLI still get the whole run where they call it (exports::write_here), as with the other background exports.
The frames' writer counts and stops.time::frames is split: the GIF/zip writer becomes time::animate(n, gif, frame), which calls progress::begin(n) and progress::step(1) a frame, and looks at Cancel before and after each frame. time.export uses it through frames as before (same output; it now reports frame progress too).
Docs: docs/user-guide/maps.md describes the button, the dialog and the background run.
Choices and limits
A copy of the map, not the live view. The camera turns on the copy, so the view never moves during the export and there is nothing to restore. This is the same copy Export Map draws on (Map::detached, streamed layers read for themselves).
Cancel writes nothing. A cancelled run stops between frames; the file is written atomically only after the last frame, so neither the file nor a temporary one is left. A Cancel that comes after the file is placed leaves it written, as for every background export.
Cast shadows are waited for on the export's thread, as Export Map does; they are still said once for the whole orbit ("The orbit: …"), not once a frame.
The dialog checks only that each box is a number; the ranges (frames 1–2000, turn ±3600 and not 0, size 64–4096 points, frame time 16–60 000 ms, the 300-million-pixel budget) are the command's, and its refusal shows in the dialog.
One export at a time, as for Export Map: a second one is refused while the first runs, before its file is picked. ui.exportOrbit also refuses parameters that aren't an object before the picker opens.
No dpi box: 96 dpi (the command's default) keeps the dialog short; scripts can still pass dpi.
time.export and animation.export still run on the interface's thread; moving them is out of scope here.
No i18n catalogs touched.
Tests
an_orbit_drawn_on_another_thread_counts_its_frames_and_stops_on_cancel (engine): a full run counts 4 of 4 frames and lands "Exported …"; a 1000-frame run cancelled after its first frames stops with "cancelled", fewer than 1000 counted, an empty folder (no file, no .tmp) and the view unchanged.
long_commands_stop_when_cancelled_while_they_run lists map.exportOrbit with the other background exports.
export_orbit_opens_its_dialog_and_draws_on_a_thread (ui-egui): the dialog opens with the defaults; non-object parameters and a second export are refused before the picker; ui.exportOrbit starts "Export Orbit" on a thread, lands, writes 3 frames, and leaves the camera where it was.
The existing orbit and time-animation tests pass unchanged, except that the probe-based stop test now covers time.export only (the orbit's stop runs through the export's own control, tested above).
Local runs (Windows, RUSTGIS_LANGUAGE=en): cargo test -p rustgis-engine -p rustgis-ui-egui, cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings on both crates, cargo fmt --check.
…pengeos#1916, part 2)
View › Scene › Export Orbit opens a dialog with map.exportOrbit's
parameters; Export… picks a .gif or .zip and starts the export on a
thread of its own (exports::IN_BACKGROUND), with frame progress and
Cancel in the status bar. The frames are drawn from a detached copy of
the map, so the view never moves. time::frames' writer becomes
time::animate, which counts frames and stops between them.

Walkthrough
The PR adds orbit export to the engine and UI. The engine renders frames from a detached map, reports progress, and supports cancellation between frames. The UI provides export settings and GIF or ZIP output selection. Tests and documentation cover the new export flow.
Frame iteration and encoding move into animate. The loop checks cancellation, encodes accepted frames, and updates progress. png_of becomes visible to its parent module. Time-export cancellation tests are updated.
The engine registers map.exportOrbit and prepares export work that renders frames from a detached map, writes output, and reports completion. Tests check frame count, ZIP entries, progress, cancellation, and camera preservation.
The UI adds the Export Orbit dialog, command dispatch, search action, and View tab control. The dialog validates supplied values. Tests and documentation cover export behavior, progress, and cancellation.
Export Orbit now runs in the background from a copy of the map, so the live view does not move. One small hardening gap remains. A programmatic call to ui.exportOrbit with array or scalar parameters panics after a destination is chosen. The dialog itself is unaffected, so the risk is low and a quick type check fixes it.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a camera orbit export added to the ribbon, run in the background. The changeset matches it: a ribbon Export Orbit dialog, a background export via exports::IN_BACKGROUND and exportjob, and frame progress and cancellation in time::animate. The title is concise and specific. The "(#1916, part 2)" reference is an issue tag, not a description, but it does not make the title misleading.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a Summary, a Testing section, a UI evidence section, and a Related issue reference (Part of #1916). The Summary states what changes and why. The Testing section lists new engine and ui-egui tests and the local commands run. The UI evidence section includes a before-and-after image, which the template requires for visible UI changes. The Related issue section is filled with 'Part of #1916 (part 2; part 1 was #1943).' The template's 'No visible UI change.' line is correctly replaced, since the PR adds an Export Orbit dialog and ribbon control. The UI evidence section shows only an after image, so a before image may be missing for any changed existing UI. The PR adds new UI, so an after-only image is acceptable under the template.

I found no crash, silent-loss or cancellation bug. The background move is sound: the orbit draws from a detached copy, it is in the background registry and in the cancel test list, and the atomic write and "nothing left behind" behaviour hold on cancel. The three inline comments are a ribbon label, a possible gap in landed-raster notices, and a UX ordering nit.
Bugs
Possible gap in landed-raster notices: the orbit frames no longer call notice_landed_rasters() per frame, as time::frames did. The app's per-frame call and the post-command call cover most cases, so the impact is probably narrow. Confidence ~25%. (inline, crates/engine/src/cmd/view.rs:245)
Security
None found. The new dialog and command parameters are range-checked by the command, and the dialog only checks that each value is a number.
Performance
None found. The copy of the map is the same one Export Map already makes.
Quality
Ribbon label Export Orbit opens a dialog but has no trailing "…", as the ribbon guidelines ask. The sibling animation export doesn't follow this either. Confidence ~50%. (inline, crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon.rs:2109)
ui.exportOrbit opens the file picker before exportjob::idle runs, so a second export is refused only after the user has chosen a file. Confidence high on the behaviour, low severity. (inline, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs:4370)
Test fragility: a_stopped_run_ends_an_animation_export_with_nothing_written depends on the exact number of cancelled() calls per frame. Any extra check in the frame path would shift the indices. Nit, not commented inline.
AGENTS.md
Ribbon placement: the ribbon guidelines put product exports under Publish, and Export Map lives there. This control sits in View › Scene. Animation export already sits in View's Animation group, so there is a precedent. The PR body should still say why. Confidence ~50%.
The PR body does not give the ribbon checklist the guidelines ask for: the tab's fit with its purpose, whether it opens a dialog, and a 1366 px tab screenshot. It has one 900 px image of the dialog.
Already raised in earlier threads: none. There were no prior review threads, so I left none alone.

… the file picker
Review round 1 (opengeos#2045): ui.exportOrbit refuses parameters that aren't an
object or null, and another export still running, before the save dialog
opens (regression cases for an array, a number, a string and a second
export). The ribbon label ends in "…" as it opens a dialog. orbit_work's
doc comment says where the copy's landed-raster notices are said.

Bug (UX), confidence ~80%: the range checks run after the file picker. Only the non-object check and the busy check run before pick_save. The frame, turn, size, and frame-time ranges are checked inside orbit_work, and exportjob::start reaches it through export_start_raw only after the picker has returned a path. A user who types frames = 5000 picks a file and only then sees "frames must be a number from 1 to 2000". The commit subject "refuses bad parameters … before the file picker" says otherwise.
Suggested fix: move the range check ahead of the picker. Expose a side-effect-free check from engine::cmd::view (for example pub fn check_orbit_params(p: &Value) -> Result<(), String>, sharing the within(...) closure and the pixel budget with orbit_work) and call it here before pick_save. Also add a test in exportjob.rs that a bad range is refused before the picker, as the existing "still running" test does.

Quality (UX), confidence ~60%: this button shows in the browser build but always fails there.ui.dialog refuses exportOrbit on wasm (dialogs.rs), so the click only produces "exporting an orbit needs the desktop app". The ribbon already hides other desktop-only items on the web build with #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))] (for example Add Folder… and Reload Data). Gating this one the same way matches that pattern.
I read the full diff, the base-branch AGENTS.md, and the surrounding code: the export and progress plumbing, orbit_work, animate/frames, the dialog, and the ribbon. The orbit now reuses the same frame path as time.export, and the thread, cancel and copy-of-map design holds up. I posted two inline comments.
Bugs
Range checks run after the file picker (crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs:4379, ~80%). Only the non-object and busy checks run before pick_save. Out-of-range frames, turn, size or frame time are refused only once orbit_work runs, after the user has already picked a file. This contradicts the HEAD commit's "refuses bad parameters … before the file picker."
Security
None found.
Performance
None found. Frames are drawn from one detached copy, and the copy is shared rather than deep-cloned.
Quality
Desktop-only ribbon button shows on the web build (crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon.rs:2105, ~60%). The click always fails with "exporting an orbit needs the desktop app." Gating it with #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))] matches the existing Add Folder… and Reload Data buttons.
Nits, left for the release quality pass:
shadows is declared outside the inner closure and assigned inside it; returning it from the closure would be simpler (orbit_work, view.rs).
The new dialog error (dialogs.rs:174) and the ui.exportOrbit non-object error (lib.rs) are plain literals, not tl!-wrapped. The sibling error in the same function is wrapped.
The ribbon reuses the maneuver_roundabout icon for an orbit, which reads oddly.
Test coverage: the orbit's cancel-before-first-frame case was dropped from the animation stop test. The thread test covers cancel after two frames, so this is a coverage gap rather than a missing check.
AGENTS.md
All crash, silent-loss, background, cancel, wasm, translation and layering rules I checked hold. The new background command is in the registry and the cancel test list. The frames writer keeps its per-frame stop checks. The dialog's number-only check is consistent with the "never silent" rule, because the command reports the out-of-range refusal.
Already raised (left alone)
4 earlier threads on this PR, all with replies. I left them alone: the notice-landing concern for the copied map (answered by the author), the picker-before-idle ordering (fixed in da88148), the non-object parameters (fixed in da88148), and the ribbon ellipsis (fixed and outdated).
