- replaced the standard buttons in the QMessageBox's used in the app with custom ones that can have text translated
- updated the POT translation file and the MO/PO files for English and Romanian language
- fixed Excellon Editor selection: when a tool is selected in Tools Table, all the drills belonging to that tool are selected. When a drill is selected on canvas, the associated tool will be selected without automatically selecting all other drills with same tool
- Gerber Editor: finished the Copy, Aperture Add, Buffer, Scale, Move including the Utility geometry
- Trying to fix bug in Measurement Tool: the mouse events don't disconnect
- fixed bug in applying default language on first start
- on activating 'V' key shortcut (zoom fit) the mouse cursor is now jumping to origin (0, 0)
- fixed bug in saving toolbars state; the file was saved before setting the self.defaults['global_toolbar_view]
- made saving of the project file non-blocking and also while saving the project file, if the user tries again to close the app while project file is being saved, the app will close only after saving is complete (the project file size is non zero)
- FlatCAM editors now are separated each in it's own file
- fixed TextTool in Geometry Editor so it will open the notebook on activation and close it after finishing text adding
- started to work on a Gerber Editor
- fix on the Gerber parser that makes searching for '%%' char optional when doing regex search for mode, units or image polarity. This allow loading Gerber files generated by the ECAD software TCl4.4
- modified the Properties Tool to show the number of elements in the follow_geometry for each aperture
- modified the copy functions to copy the follow_geometry and also the apertures if it's possible (only for Gerber objects)
- 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).
- finished Manual Cutout Tool by adding utility geometry to the cutting geometry
- added CTRL + click behavior for adding manual bridge gaps in Cutout Tool
- in Tool Cutout added shortcut key 'Escape' to cancel the current adding of bridge gaps
- ~~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 FlatCAMGerber.merge() to merge the self.apertures[ap]['solid_geometry'] too
- started to work on a new feature that allow adding a ToolChange GCode macro - GUI added both in CNCJob Selected tab and in CNCJob Preferences
- added a limited 'sort-of' Gerber Editor: it allows buffering and scaling of apertures
- added the ability to open FlatConfig configuration files in COde Editor, Modify them and then save them.
- added ability to double click the FlatConfig files and open them in the FlatCAM Code Editor (to be verified)
- remade the UI for ToolSolderPaste. The object comboboxes now have context menu's that allow object deletion. Also the last object created is set as current item in comboboxes.
- removed "added ability to regenerate objects (it's actually deletion followed by recreation)" because of the way Python pass parameters to functions by reference instead of copy
- made the GCode Editor for ToolSolderPaste clear the text before updating the Code Editor tab
- all the Tabs in Plot Area are closed (except Plot Area itself) on New Project creation
- changed the shortcut key for YouTube channel from F2 to key F4
- changed the way APP LEVEL is showed both in Edit -> Preferences -> General tab and in each Selected Tab. Changed the ToolTips content for this.
- added the functions for GCode View and GCode Save in Tool SolderPaste
- finished the UI, created the postprocessor file template
- finished the multi-tool solder paste dispensing: it will start using the biggest nozzle, fill the pads it can, and then go to the next smaller nozzle until there are no pads without solder.
