Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Pulled the latest and Gmoccapy threw a bunches of errors when starting up, removed the folders in /home/user/linuxcnc/configs and it started fine.

EDIT: I can't home in sim mode, I'm getting:
11 Cannot home while shared home switch is closed
Cannot home while shared home switch is closed

Bonus: Options button opens a calculator and there's a dialog warning about wrong code ("just to warn you")...

A restart of the sim and the switch error disappeared. It didn't like that I moved around before I did homing. Homed, moved around, re-home and the error comes back. Not a big deal if it is a sim error only, but re-homing is needed though.

Is there a reason to the bottom toolbar button order in program mode? To me it's a bit non logical to first start with the button to the right most and then continue with the left most. In program mode the buttons pressed could (should?) be ordered in the order they are pressed:
Load a program
Run the loaded program
Stop the running program
Pause
Step by step
...

What do you think?

If you jog the axis a bit then you can rehome without error.

Its actually a code entry dialog. enter 123

I would try to translate application in Serbian. Where can I find an English version, hence I can use the wording for translation?,

The correct way to do it is according to:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Internationalization

Gscreen seems to be using the _("english text here") format so it should all work according to that description just by creating a Serbian .po file.

At the moment at least, Gmoccapy doesn't do it this way its a separate file in share/gscreen/skins/gmoccapy/locale

No, there is no reason, I will change that in a future release.

Sounds good!
I'll will take the time and translate into Swedish within a week or so, have a LOT to do right now...
Need to get a touch screen and run it for real soon.

gmoccapy - 0.9.7.3

- the buttons tbtn_view_dimension and tbtn_view_tool_path of the gremlin view
was in an undefined state after the start of gmoccapy. Now the state will be
set according to the state when leaving the GUI, default is show both

- the state view of gremlin was by default "p" no the state on leaving the gui
will be restored after restarting the GUI

- corrected an error entering the settings page, and aborting the dialog, then the
message appears two times, because the signal used was clicked and that is emitted twice
on a rbt when changing the state of the buttons in the group

Next to come: change order of buttons in auto mode

Nortbert,
Is there a way to store widget (spinbox) values in a file. I need to add my user tab that contains a number of settings that I would like to store. There is a component written for Axis called paramsaver but it requires the pyvcp widgets to be modified with ans extra pin.
What do you suggest we do in this case?

Unless Norbert adds something specific himself, it would require overriding the on_window1_destroy signal and adding a routine to save states.
see the gladevcp writeup for the basic idea.:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/gla...ariables_in_gladevcp

The same idea could be used in gscreenn/gmoccapy

I assume you are using a customized version of Gmoccapy?
