QRadioButtons in preferences file was created by phillc54

I am not sure of the correct way to handle QRadioButtons in the preferences file.
I have three QRadioButtons in a frame and it seems I need to load/save each of the QRadioButtons, is there a way to load/save only the QRadioButton that is checked. I tried testing the state of each QRadioButton when readin the preferences file but it still created an entry for all the QRadioButtons.

In Designer:
connect all the radio buttons to form slot using the signal 'toggled(bool)' and manually add the arbitrary named slot 'radio_toggled'
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gui/qtvcp.html#cha:designer-slots

In the handler file add :

    # at this point:
    # the widgets are instantiated.
    # the HAL pins are built but HAL is not set ready
    def initialized__(self):
        rb = self.w.PREFS_.getpref('RADIOGROUP1', 'default_radiobutton_object_name', str, 'CUSTOM_FORM_ENTRIES')
        self.w[rb].setChecked(True)

    #######################
    # callbacks from form #
    #######################
    def radio_toggled(self, data):
        if data:
            name = self.w.sender().text()
            print (name)
            if self.w.PREFS_:
                self.w.PREFS_.putpref('RADIOGROUP1', self.w.sender().objectName(),str, 'CUSTOM_FORM_ENTRIES')

Noe every time the radio button group changes, the radiobutton that is true is recorded in the preference file unde the arbritrary heading 'CUSTOM_FORM_ENTRIES'
It will also set the button true on start up - note that the default radiobutton name must be correct or the first time run it will error.

I am doing a screen based on pinders theme:
forum.linuxcnc.org/qtpyvcp/40082-monokro...-mill?start=0#182773
It is being done in master branch with python3. I almost have the main screen layout completed, I'll post the .ui .qss and handler file tomorrow. Still got a LONG way to go.

Here you go...
It is a zip file of the complete working config. A bit lazy I know but it is the easiest way for me to keep everything in one place. The Qtvcp file are all in the qtplasmac subdirectory if you want to break them out.
I think I squeezed all I can into 1024x768 but it is resizable.
I actually started this as an experiment with a copy of QtDragon so you will see there is a lot of extraneous stuff in the handler that we don't need for plasma that I will remove. I thought about starting a fresh handler file but I have too much time invested in this now to not warrant that.

It amazes me how quickly you can get up to speed with others code and create some great stuff!
I added a pic so others can get a glimpse - hope you don't mind.

No, not a problem.

It is interesting that the progress bar displays as odd colors in your pic, it displays correctly here. Could that have something to do with display drivers. I run mine on a VMWare virtual machine on a mac.
