- in PreferencesUI.PreferencesUIManager class I removed the need to pass reference to the App class since it this was available through the 'ui' parameter
- some fixes due to recent refactoring
- minor bugs fixed (not so visible)
- promoted some methods to be static
- set the default layout on first run to the 'minimal' value
- added a new Tcl Command named SetPath which will set a path to be used by the Tcl commands. Once set will serve as a fallback path in case that the files fail to be opened first time. It will be persistent, saved in preferences.
- added the GUI for the new Open Example in the FIle -> Scripting menu.
- I am modifying all the open ... handlers to add a parameter that will flag if the method was launched from Tcl Shell. This way if the method will fail to open the filename (which include the path) it will try to open from a set fallback path.
- fixed issue #406, bug introduced recently (leftover changes).
- modified the ImportSVG Tcl command name to OpenSVG (open_svg alias)
- added a new Tcl command named OpenDXF (open_dxf alias)
- fixed some errors in Scripting features
- added a new Tcl command named GetPath as a convenient way to get the current default path stored in App.defaults['global_tcl_path']
- removed the import of the whole FlatCAMApp file only for the usage of GracefulException
- remove the import of FlatCAMApp and used alternate ways
- optimized the imports in some files
- moved the Bookmarksmanager and ToolDB classes into their own files
- solved some bugs that were not so visible in the Editors and HPGL parser
- added a 'Close' menu entry in the Tcl Shell context menu that will close (hide) the Tcl Shell Dock widget
- on launching the Tcl Shell the Edit line will take focus immediately
- in App.on_mouse_move_over_plot() method no longer will be done a setFocus() on every move, only when it is needed
- fix for plotting Excellon objects if the color is changed and then the object is moved
- laying the GUI for a new Tool: Punch Gerber Tool which will add holes in the Gerber apertures
- added to the possible colors the fundamentals: black and white
- in the project context menu for setting colors added the option to set the transparency and also a default option which revert the color to the default value set in the Preferences
- final fix for app not quiting when running a script as argument, script that has the quit_flatcam Tcl command; fixed issue #360
- fixed issue #363. The Tcl command drillcncjob does not create tool cut, does not allow creation of gcode, it forces the usage of dwell and dwelltime parameters
- each FlatCAM object found in Preferences has it's own set of controls for changing the colors
- added a set of gray icons to be used when the theme is complete dark (for now it is useful only for MacOS with dark theme because at the moment the app is not styled to dark UI except the plot area)
- modified the ToolDB class and changed some strings
- Preferences classes now have access to the App attributes through app.setup_obj_classes() method
- moved app.setup_obj_classes() upper in the App.__init__()
- added a new Preferences setting allowing to modify the mouse cursor color
- remade the GUI in Preferences -> General grouping the settings in a more clear way
- made available the Jump To function in Excellon Editor
- added a clean_up() method in all the Editor Tools that need it, to be run when aborting using the ESC key
- in Preferences window removed the Import/Export Preferences buttons because they are redundant with the entries in the File -> Menu -> Backup. and added a button to Restore Defaults
- when in Basic mode the Tool type of the tool in the Geometry UI Tool Table after isolating a Gerber object is automatically selected as 'C1'
- let the multiprocessing Pool have as many processes as needed
- added a new Preferences setting allowing a custom mouse line width (to make it thicker or thinner)
- added a method to darken the outline color for Gerber objects when they have the color set
- when Printing as PDF Gerber objects now the rendered color is the print color
