- 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
- split the FlatCAMObj file into multiple files located in the flatcamObjects folder and renamed the contained classes with names more suggestive
- updated the Google Translation for the German language
- fixed the Tcl Command JoinExcellons
- fixed the Tcl Command JoinGeometry
- fixed the Tcl Command Mirror
- updated the Tcl Command Mirror to use a (X,Y) origin parameter. Works if the -box parameter is not used.
- updated the Tcl Command Offset. Now it can use only -x or -y parameter no longer is mandatory to have both. The one that is not present will be assumed 0.0
- updated the Tcl Command Panelize. The -rows and -columns parameters are no longer both required. If one is not present then it is assumed to be zero.
- updated the Tcl Command Scale. THe -origin parameter can now be a tuple of (x,y) coordinates.
- updated the Tcl Command Skew. Now it can use only -x or -y parameter no longer is mandatory to have both. The one that is not present will be assumed 0.0
- updated the help for all the Tcl Commands
- made that after opening an object in FlatCAM it is not automatically plotted. If the user wants to plot it can use the TclCommands PlotAll or PlotObjects
- modified the TclCommands that open files to not plot the opened files automatically
- 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.
- 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.
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
