Re: 0.19pre win64 Draft Toolbar mode cannot display numeric input fully

Post by vocx »

I have submitted pull request #2973 to always use "Taskview" mode.

I noticed that this option depends of the Parameter editor value

Code: Select all

BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Draft/UiMode
Where 0 corresponds to "Toolbar", and 1 to "Taskview".

In the code, the value is now fixed to 1 so the parameter has no effect.

I also added a new tooltip to the interface to explain this. Eventually, the option in the interface (combobox) can be removed completely.

Pull request #2973 now has your commit that removes the "Toolbar" option from the interface.

The following is not related, but it bugged me when I saw it.

Do you see the Cycle Snap field? It appears all the way to the right.

According to the .ui file, it should be in a sort of grid. I tried fixing it quickly so that it would be aligned below the "H" field but I didn't try a lot. Maybe you can make it work? I'm thinking the entry field should probably come before the word "Relative", "Copy", "Exit", etc.

I can try for sure.
This is also something I wanted to check: if a user change some in-command shortcut, do they change in tooltips and buttons too?
Also I never succeeded in making cycle selection and cycle snap work. Do you?

This was introduced by @moult, but don't know how it works... I'm on my mobile now and don't know how to ping him.
