Thorsten Buss 4d10db4f17 Initial public release
PHP 8.4 library and CLI tools to read, modify, and generate ProPresenter 7
files: songs (.pro), playlists (.proplaylist), bundles (.probundle), themes,
and the global library files (Macros, Labels, Groups, ClearGroups, CCLI,
Messages, Timers, Stage, Workspace, Props, TestPatterns, Calendar,
KeyMappings, CommunicationDevices).

Built on the MIT-licensed ProPresenter7-Proto schema by greyshirtguy
(v7.16.2). Includes 18 CLI parsers, comprehensive API docs in doc/,
binary-format specs, and a synthetic 369-test PHPUnit suite covering
RTF extraction, translation slides, ZIP64 repair, round-trip fidelity,
and end-to-end generation.

# ClearGroups Library API
> PHP module for reading and writing the global ProPresenter `ClearGroups` file
> (raw protobuf, no extension) and exposing each clear group definition.
## Quick Reference
```php
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileReader;
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileWriter;
$library = ClearGroupsFileReader::read('/path/to/ClearGroups');
foreach ($library->getGroups() as $group) {
$group->getName(); // "Alles ausblenden"
$group->getUuid(); // "A91C6AFE-..."
$group->getImageType(); // 11
$group->getColorHex(); // "#FFFFFF" | null
}
ClearGroupsFileWriter::write($library, '/path/to/ClearGroups');
```
---
## File Layout
The `ClearGroups` file is the protobuf-serialised
[`ClearGroupsDocument`](../../proto/clearGroups.proto):
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `application_info` | `ApplicationInfo` | ProPresenter writer metadata |
| `groups` | repeated `ClearGroupsDocument.ClearGroup` | Clear button definitions |
Each `ClearGroup` carries:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `uuid` | `UUID` | Stable identifier |
| `name` | string | Display name |
| `layer_targets` | repeated `Action.ClearType` | Layers cleared by the button |
| `is_hidden_in_preview` | bool | Whether preview UI hides the button |
| `image_data` | bytes | Custom icon payload |
| `image_type` | enum | Built-in icon identifier |
| `is_icon_tinted` | bool | Whether `icon_tint_color` applies |
| `icon_tint_color` | `Color` | RGBA float channels in 0..1 |
| `timeline_targets` | repeated `Action.ContentDestination` | Timeline destinations |
| `clear_presentation_next_slide` | bool | Also clear the queued next slide |
---
## Reading
```php
use ProPresenter\Parser\ClearGroupsFileReader;
$library = ClearGroupsFileReader::read('/Users/me/.../ClearGroups');
```
Throws `InvalidArgumentException` for missing files and `RuntimeException` for
empty / unreadable files.
---
## ClearGroupsLibrary
Top-level wrapper around `Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument`. Indexes groups by UUID
(case-insensitive) and name.
```php
$library->getGroups(); // ClearGroupDefinition[]
$library->count(); // int
$library->getClearGroupByUuid('A91C...'); // ?ClearGroupDefinition
$library->getClearGroupByName('Alles ...'); // ?ClearGroupDefinition
$library->addClearGroup('Name', 'UUID'); // ClearGroupDefinition
$library->removeClearGroup('UUID'); // bool
$library->getDocument(); // \Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument
```
---
## ClearGroupDefinition
```php
$group->getName();
$group->setName('New Name');
$group->getUuid();
$group->setUuid('...');
$group->getLayerTargets();
$group->getImageType();
$group->getColor(); // ['r'=>..,'g'=>..,'b'=>..,'a'=>..] | null
$group->getColorHex(); // "#RRGGBB" uppercase, alpha dropped, or null
$group->getProto(); // \Rv\Data\ClearGroupsDocument\ClearGroup
```
Color channels are floats in 0..1 as ProPresenter stores them. `getColorHex()`
clamps and rounds each channel to 8 bits before formatting.
---
## CLI Tool
```bash
php bin/parse-clear-groups.php /path/to/ClearGroups
```
Output:
```
ClearGroups (1):
[1] Alles ausblenden :: A91C6AFE-098F-4559-B2CF-D8373C589589 :: image_type=11 :: #FFFFFF
```

## Key Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/ClearGroupsLibrary.php` | Document-level wrapper with UUID/name lookups |
| `src/ClearGroupDefinition.php` | Single clear group wrapper |
| `src/ClearGroupsFileReader.php` | Reads the `ClearGroups` file |
| `src/ClearGroupsFileWriter.php` | Writes the `ClearGroups` file |
| `bin/parse-clear-groups.php` | CLI tool |
| `proto/clearGroups.proto` | Protobuf schema |
| `generated/Rv/Data/ClearGroupsDocument.php` | Generated message class |
---
## Scope Notes
The wrapper preserves unknown / uninterpreted protobuf data by mutating the
generated message in place and serialising it back. It does not execute clear
actions or modify slide content.
