- 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
- created a prototype postprocessor file for usage with tool probing in MACH3
- added the default values for Tool Film and Tool Panelize to the Edit -> 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.
- fixed gcode conversion/scale (on units change) when multiple values are found on each line
- replaced the pop-up window for the shortcut list with a new detachable tab
- removed the pop-up messages from the rotate, skew, flip commands
- 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.
- in case that the Toolchange X,Y parameter in Selected (or in Preferences) are deleted then the app will still do the job using the current coordinates for toolchange
- fixed an issue in camlib.CNCJob where tha variable self.toolchange_xy was used for 2 different purposes which created loss of information.
- more changes in Edit -> Preferences -> Geometry, Gerber and in CNCJob
- added new option for Cutout Tool Freeform Gaps in Edit -> Preferences -> Tools
- fixed Freeform Cutout gaps issue (it was double than the value set)
- 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
- 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
- updated function for copy of an Excellon object for the case when the object has slots
- updated FlatCAMExcellon.merge() function to work in case some (or all) of the merged objects have slots
- 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
- added a try - except clause for the situations when for a font can't be determined the family and name
- moved font parsing to the Geometry Editor: it is done everytime the Text tool is invoked
- made sure that the HPGL postprocessor is not populated in the Excellon postprocessors in Preferences as it make no sense (HPGL is useful only for Geometries)
- fixed the message box layout when asking to save the current work
- made sure that whenever the HPGL postprocessor is selected the Toolchange is always ON and the MultiDepth is OFF
- the HPGL postprocessor entry is not allowed in Excellon Object postprocessor selection combobox as it is only applicable for Geometry
- the version date in GCode header is now the one set in FlatCAMApp.App.version_date
- fixed bug in postprocessor files: number of drills is now calculated only for the Excellon objects in toolchange function (only Excellon objects have drills)
named: global_mouse_pan_button
It can be set through set_sys TclCommand or the value getted through
get_sys TclCommand.
Values are 1 for left mouse button, 2 for middle mouse button and
3 for right mouse button.
It does hurt my hand (wrist) keeping the middle mouse button pressed
when panning and I very much preffer panning with RMB.
The default setting is pan_button = middle mouse button.
- replaced (as per advice from @jpcgt) the lines with app.info call
to using a signal which is safe to use in a threaded environment,
app.inform.emit()
at each mouse click on canvaas the coordinates were copied to clipboard.
Now for the same feet it require to have the CTRL key pressed while
clicking on canvas for the coordinates to be copied.
- 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)
(this is pointless)
- added separators between groups of menu items
- added icons for the Drawing -> Paint and for the Drawing - > Buffer
- added ability to add icons for the Tools
- added icons to the current tools (Dblsided Tool, Measurement Tool)
- added buttons in the toolbar for: Open Gerber, Open Excellon,
Open Gcode and Save Project As
- added button in Tools toolbar for Measurement tool
- added separators in the toolbar
- organized the toolbar buttons in multiple toolbars that can be disabled
with right click on the toolbar
- added names for the toolbars where they were not present
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.
- add setup.py script,
- switch to use images via "share:" resource name
(this allows to work both versions of application:
- system wide installation,
- directly from source),
- add .desktop file,
- rename FlatCAM.py to flatcam and install it as an
executable script.
but no default values and no in array dimensions on change units
defaults added for excellon_tooldia background_timeout and verbose_error_level in self.options.update({})
more detaild error print including python trace when more complex unknown error
reinplement drillcncjob
fix camlib problem with all drills("all" was already there) but it crashes on tools without points, when no tools "all" is as default
add timeout to all helps if command is signaled
implement executing of tasks inside worker thread
cleanups, reimplement Isolate/New/OpenGerber as OOP style Shell commands
disable edit during shell execution, show some progress
add ability for breakpoints in other threads and only if available
add X11 safe flag, not sure what happen on windows
implement TclCommand.TclCommandSignaled as proof of concept (not usefull)
bypass using threads within obj.generatecncjob(use_thread = False, **args)
reimplement some more shell commands to OOP style
