- remade the POT translate file
- work in progress in translation for Romanian language 44%
- fix for showing tools by activating them from the Menu - final fix.
- fixed some forgotten strings to be prepared for internationalization in ToolCalculators
- fixed Tools menu no longer working due of changes
- added some test translation for the ToolCalculators (in Romanian)
- fixed bug in ToolCutOut where for each tool invocation the signals were reconnected
- finished support for internationalization by adding a set of .po/.mo files for the English language. Unfortunately the final action can be done only when Beta will be out of Beta (no more changes) or when I will decide to stop working on this app.
- changed the tooltip for 'feedrate_rapids' parameter to point out that this parameter is useful only for the Marlin postprocessor
- more work on the translation engine; the app now restarts after a language is applied
- added protection against using Travel Z parameter with negative or zero value (in Geometry).
- remade the UI for ToolSolderPaste. The object comboboxes now have context menu's that allow object deletion. Also the last object created is set as current item in comboboxes.
- removed "added ability to regenerate objects (it's actually deletion followed by recreation)" because of the way Python pass parameters to functions by reference instead of copy
- New feature: added the capability to view the source code of the Gerber/Excellon file that was loaded into the app. The file is also stored as an object attribute for later use. THe view option is in the project context menu and in Menu -> Options -> View Source
- fixed DblSided Tool so it correctly creates the Alignment Drills Excellon file using the new structure
- fixed DblSided Tool so it will not crash the app if the user tries to make a mirror using no coordinates
- added some relevant status bar messages in DblSided Tool
- fixed DblSided Tool to correctly use the Box object (until now it used as reference only Gerber object in spite of Excellon or Geometry objects being available)
- fixed DblSided Tool crash when trying to create Alignment Drills object without a Tool diameter specified
- added a new entry in the Project Context Menu named 'Save'. It will actually work for Geometry and it will do Export DXF and for Excellon and it will do Export Excellon
- added new options in Edit -> Preferences -> General -> App Preferences to control if the Notebook is showed at startup and if the notebook is closed when there are no objects in the collection and showed when the collection has objects.
- fixed bug in multigeometry geometry not having the bounds in self.options and crashing the GCode generation
- fixed bug that crashed whole application in case that the GCode editor is activated on a Tool gcode that is defective.
- All the tabs in the GUI right side are (Plot Are, Preferences etc) are now detachable to a separate windows which when closed it returns in the previous location in the toolbar. Those detached tabs can be also reattached by drag and drop.
- reorganized the Edit -> Preferences -> Global
- redesigned the messagebox that is showed when quiting ot creating a New Project: now it has an option ('Cancel') to abort the process returning to the app
- added the Copy entry to the Project context menu
- made the functions behind Disable and Enable project context menu entries, non-threaded to fix a possible issue
QtGui.QStadardItem is creating issues in the tests. Converting it to a
string solve this. After solving the conflict in the pull request this
modification was lost so I am doing it again.
- the FlatCAMObj.FlatCAMGerber.isolate() method is having the line
app.obj.info() which randomly create issues due of using QPixMaps outside
of the GUI thread.
- I had to play with module imports as they created a lot of error in
the tests although in reality the program worked OK.
- I've fixed some mistakes in TcL commands (they were testing isinstance
against the like of Geometry instead of FlatCAMGeometry)
- I've had to add some fixes in ObjectCollections.py (error on
create_index() method but Marco already fixed this in the checkbox
in project tab pull request and knew about this.
- Although at some point the tests run fine, I've made some checkings
on my own over the Tcl commands and discovered errors which I fixed as
mentioned above.
- conclusion is that tests are just a must and do not cover everything
(like saving projects which at some point by juggling with imports I
braked and tests were 100% OK)
- in camlib.py, CNCJob class -> generate_from_excellon_by_tool() was
failing in the line to sort the tools due of been unable to compare
between dict's. I replaced that section.
