- in Tools Database made the status bar messages show when adding/copying/deleting tools in DB
- changed all Except statements that were single to except Exception as recommended in some PEP
- renamed the Copper Fill Tool to Copper Thieving Tool as this is a more appropriate name; started to add ability for more types of copper thieving besides solid
- fixed some issues recently introduced in ParseSVG
- updated POT file
- changed the way a new FlatCAMScript object is made, the method that is processing the Tcl commands when the Run button is clicked is moved to the FlatCAMObj.FlatCAMScript() class
- reused the Multiprocessing Pool declared in the App for the ToolRulesCheck() class
- adapted the Project context menu for the new types of FLatCAM objects
- modified the setup_recent_files to accommodate the new FlatCAM objects
- made sure that when an FlatCAM script object is deleted, it's associated Tab is closed
- added a new TclCommand named set_origin which will set the origin for all loaded objects to zero if the -auto True argument is used and to a certain x,y location if the format is: set_origin 5,7
- added a new entry in Menu -> View -> Redraw All which is doing what the name says: redraw all loaded objects
- fixed issue where in TCl Shell the Windows paths were not understood due of backslash symbol understood as escape symbol instead of path separator
- made sure that in for the TclCommand cncjob and for the drillcncjob if one of the args is stated but no value then the value used will be the default one
- made available the TSA algorithm for drill path optimization when the used OS is 64bit. When used OS is 32bit the only available algorithm is TSA
- added the autocomplete keywords that can be changed to the defaults dictionary
- modified the TclCommand New so it will no longer close all tabs when called (it closed the Code Editor tab which may have been holding the code that run)
- made that after opening an object in FlatCAM it is not automatically plotted. If the user wants to plot it can use the TclCommands PlotAll or PlotObjects
- modified the TclCommands that open files to not plot the opened files automatically
- fixed UI showing before the initialization of FlatCAM is finished when the last state of GUI was maximized
- finished updating the TclCommand cncjob to work for multi-geo Geometry objects with the parameters from the args
- fixed the TclCommandCncjob to work for multigeometry Geometry objects; still I had to fix the list of tools parameter, right now I am setting it to an empty list
- fixed crash due of Properties Tool trying to have a convex hull area on FlatCAMCNCJob objects which is not possible due of their nature
- modified Tcl Command SubtractRectangle
- fixed and modernized the Tcl Command Scale to be able to scale on X axis or on Y axis or on both and having as scale reference either the (0, 0) point or the minimum point of the bounding box or the center of the bounding box.
- fixed and modernized the Tcl Command Skew
- remade the TclCommand Paint to work in the new configuration of the the app (the painting functions are now in their own tool, Paint Tool)
- fixed a bug in the Properties Tool
- fixed bug in cncjob TclCommand where the gcode could not be correctly generated due of missing bounds params in obj.options dict
- fixed a hardcoded tolerance in FlatCAMGeometry.generatecncjob() and in FlatCAMGeometry.mtool_gen_cncjob() to use the parameter from Preferences
- now the special messages in the Shell are color coded according to the level. Before they all were RED. Now the WARNINGS are yellow, ERRORS are red and SUCCESS is a dark green. Also the level is in CAPS LOCK to make them more obvious
- some more changes to GUI interface (solved issues)
- added some status bar messages in the Geometry Editor to guide the user when using the Geometry Tools
- now the '`' shortcut key that shows the 'shortcut key list' in Editors points to the same window which is created in a tab no longer as a pop-up window. This tab can be detached if needed.
starting with the letter(s) offered as argument. It's a way to narrow
the list down. If no selection letters are offered it will list on
screen the entire list of system parameters.
It is useful if we don't remember correctly the name of the system
parameter or if we want to look for a certain system parameter as the
list is big and it grows.
- 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)
the project is created with plot=False then it will not be checked in
Project tab
- improved the panelize command by toggling OFF the plot for the
temporary objects. There is no need to plot the temporary objects, only
the panel is of interest
- add a few aliases for the Panelize command ('pan' and 'panel')
- 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.
