- 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.
- 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.
