Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

Mine is De_de set to German.

In that case I would have expected a comma-separator to work. (and the fact that is doesn't sounds like a bug)

So, everything has been renamed to

gmoccapy

now.

Should this be the final name?

The tool table widget doesn't know locale.
I didn't program it. Never thought of it.

Actually the calculator widget doesn't either.

Though Gscreen, it's self has been programmed for locale but I have not tested it much.

I need a running bug / feature list - as I can't get to all this right away.

I'll try to remember to look into these.

mmm G i'd like some MOCCA PY...
gmocca_py
g_mocca_py

It's your screen - call it as you like
I like the play on mocca pie

i was going to recommend you put all the image files in a folder so it is easier to copy them into another folder.

And I forget to pre-select so often that I am probably going to edit Axis on my lathe to have two separate buttons.
(Because if you get it wrong, the whole tool table ends up wrong)

Ya I thought that may be a problem so looks like we will do it with separate buttons on the tool page.

I would like something more obvious.
I could have the tool setting buttons show up when the tool table is showing ....

I think having it on the tool table page would work well. Include the ability to change tools from there too (tool index button). Could even highlight the row in the tool table matrix for the currently-loaded tool. When a tool is touched off the values in the tool table matrix should update. My thinking is that the tool table page would have everything necessary to set up all the tools in the changer.

Ya that sounds pretty good
I could pop up a dialog that lets you move the highlight bar then press change tool.
This is very like run-at-line dialog.
I'm not sure how to handle tool offset selection.
