- fixed issue in Paint Tool where the first added tool was expected to have a float diameter but it was a string
- updated the translation files to the latest state in the app
- replaced in FlatCAM Tools and in FLatCAMObj.py and in Editors all references to hardcoded decimals in string formats for tools with a variable declared in the __init__()
- added posibility of using a big mouse cursor or a small mouse cursor. The big mouse cursor is made from 2 infinite lines. This was implemented for both graphic engines
- added ability to change the cursor size when the small mouse cursor is selected in Preferences -> General
- added a 'Milling Type' radio button in Geometry Editor Preferences to contorl the type of geometry will be generated in the Geo Editor (for conventional milling or for the climb milling)
- added the functionality to allow climb/conventional milling selection for the geometry created in the Geometry Editor
- now any Geometry that is edited in Geometry editor will have coordinates ordered such that the resulting Gcode will allow the selected milling type in the 'Milling Type' radio button in Geometry Editor Preferences (which depends also of the spindle direction)
- some strings update
- French Google-translation at 100%
- German Google-translation update to 100%
- updated the .POT file and the translation files
- updated and corrected the Romanian and Spanish translations
- updated the .PO files for the rest of the translations, they need to be filled in.
- fixed bug in display of the apertures marked in the Aperture table found in the Gerber Selected tab and through this made it to also work with the legacy graphic engine
- fixed annotation in Mark Area Tool in Gerber Editor to work in legacy graphic engine
- legacy graphic engine - made the key events work (simple or with modifiers)
- legacy graphic engine - made the mouse cursor work (enabled/disabled, position report); snapping is not moving the cursor yet
- 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 Panelize Tool to save the aperture geometries into the panel apertures. Also made the tool faster by removing the buffering at the end of the job
- modified FlatCAMEditor's files to the new string format that will allow easier translations
- updated POT file and the Romanian translation
- some fixes in Gerber isolation in case that the progressive plotting is selected; added a 'Buffer solid geometry' button shown only when progressive plotting for Gerber object is selected. It will buffer the entire geometry of the object and plot it, in a threaded way.
- 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
- modified NCC tool so for simple objects (single Polygon) the external object used as reference can have any shape, for the other types of objects the copper cleared area will be the convex hull of the reference object
- modified the strings of the app wherever they contained the char seq <b> </b> so it is not included in the translated string
- some changes in the widgets used in the Selected tab for Geometry object
- some PEP8 cleanup in FlatCAMObj.py
- updated languages
- 60% progress in Spanish Google translation
- fixed bug in Paint tool: now it is possible to paint geometry generated by External Isolation (or Internal isolation)
- fixed bug in editing a multigeo Geometry object if previously a tool was deleted
- added the possibility for multiple tool diameters in the Edit -> Preferences -> Geometry -> Geometry General -> Tool dia separated by comma
- fixed scaling for the multiple tool diameters in Edit -> Preferences -> Geometry -> Geometry General -> Tool dia, for NCC tools more than 2 and for Solderpaste nozzles more than 2
- fixed bug in CNCJob where the CNC Tools table will show always only 2 decimals for Tool diameters regardless of the current measuring units
- made the tools diameters decimals in case of INCH FlatCAM units to be 4 instead of 3
- fixed bug in updating Grid values whenever toggling the FlatCAM units and the X, Y Grid values are linked, bugs which caused the Y value to be scaled incorrectly
- set the decimals for Grid values to be set to 6 if the units of FlatCAM is INCH and to set to 4 if FlatCAM units are METRIC
- updated translations
- updated the Russian translate from 51% complete to 69% complete using the Yandex translation engine
- solved issue #292 where a new geometry renamed with many underscores failed to store the name in a saved project
- the name for the saved projects are updated to the current time and not to the time of the app startup
- some PEP8 changes related to comments starting with only one '#' symbol
- 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.
- 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).
- ~~after an object move, the apertures plotted shapes are deleted from canvas and the 'mark all' button is deselected~~
- after move tool action or any other transform (rotate, skew, scale, mirror, offset), the plotted apertures are kept plotted.
- changing units now will convert all the default values from one unit type to another
- prettified the selection shape and the moving shape
- initial work in object hovering shape
- enhanced the toggle effect for the tools in the Tools Toolbar and also for Notebook Tab selection: if the current tool is activated it will toggle the notebook side but only if the installed widget is itself. If coming from another tool, the notebook will stay visible
- fixed bug in paint function in Geometry Editor that didn't allow painting due of overlap value
- added protections again wrong values for the Buffer and Paint Tool in Geometry Editor
- the Paint Tool in Geometry Editor will load the default values from Tool Paint in Preferences
- when the Tools in Geometry Editor are activated, the notebook with the Tool Tab will be unhidden. After execution the notebook will hide again for the Buffer Tool.
- changed the font in Tool names
- added in Geometry Editor a new Tool: Transformation Tool. It still has some bugs, though ...
- 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.
- whatever was the visibility of the corresponding toolbar when we enter in the Editor, it will be set after exit from the Editor (either Geometry Editor or Excellon Editor).
- added ability to be detached for the tabs in the Notebook section (Project, Selected and Tool)
- added ability for all detachable tabs to be restored to the same position from where they were detached.
- restored the way the tools autoloaded the objects in the comboboxes
- 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.
- added a new menu entry for the Gerber Join function: Edit -> Conversions -> "Join Gerber(s) to Gerber" allowing joining Gerber objects into a final Gerber object
- 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
