Try the improved qtdragon.ui file

LinuxCNC Version : 2.10.0-pre0-1895-gfb7504789bFirstly, I added on line 4191 some forward slashes to make certain I was using this file. They are still in the qtdragon_2023-09-10.ui you sent me. Sorry about that.
I removed the forward slashes. and I get the error :-Traceback (most recent call last):File "/usr/bin/qtvcp", line 530, in <module>_qtvcp = QTVCP()File "/usr/bin/qtvcp", line 275, in __init__window.instance(filename=self.PATH.XML)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/qt_makegui.py", line 200, in instanceinstance = uic.loadUi(filename, self)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/__init__.py", line 226, in loadUireturn DynamicUILoader(package).loadUi(uifile, baseinstance, resource_suffix)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/Loader/loader.py", line 72, in loadUireturn self.parse(filename, resource_suffix, basedir)File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/uiparser.py", line 1013, in parsedocument = parse(filename)File "/usr/lib/python3.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1197, in parsetree.parse(source, parser)File "/usr/lib/python3.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 598, in parseself._root = parser._parse_whole(source)File "<string>", line Nonexml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 3

Do I need to update something?
  

I only corrected the file you sent me in a few places regarding the size of the icons in the tool table. This file is very old and if you are using the new version 2.10.0-pre0-1895, this file will most likely not work. You need to modify qtdragon.ui from directory /usr/share/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon , you can upload it and I will modify it.

Hi Marek, I thought Qtdragon would update with linuxcnc as it a display for linuxcnc?
Rather than waste your time, I will update my Qtdragon to the latest version, then when I have it working ok, I will upload it for you to modify.
Many thanks
Chris

Yes, update linuxcnc to the latest version and then there will be no such problems.
 

Please open a specific topic for on going work.
The idea here is just to show screen ideas.
A few questions are fine.

I've been updating QtDragon to the next version. There are several new features compared to the previous one, such as a sqlite database for tool data and some new utilities. If you would like to try it out, it's at github.com/persei802/QtDragon_hd. The files here are for simulation only so you will have to provide the proper ini and hal files for your machine. If you already use QtDragon, the transition should be relatively painless. There is also a tool for assisting in creating style sheets at github.com/persei802/Qt-Style-Designer. Please direct all queries, bug reports etc. to github, not this forum. The attached screenshot shows 1 of 4 available styles. Thank you.

Wow that looks nice!
Is this master only or 2.9 as well?

Good question. I've only ever used the master branch. However, I cloned the master branch VM and to a new VM and installed 2.9.2. Unfortunately, it appears that this qtdragon only works with 2.10. I could probably make a version that works with 2.9, but that's another project.
