NCGGUI and QtDragon

great.You could also add the path where the M110 was originally to SUBROUTINE_PATH

ok, back.  2 more smallish problems....

I cannot get the overall dragon screen location option to work.  I've tried lots of variations.
.....DISPLAY = qtvcp  -d  -g 1600x1200+0+0  dragon  -u dragon_handler.py
my 'dragon' panel is slightly resizeable.  that is the largest is can get.  no matter what I try, it still opens in it's smallest size in the upper right of the monitor.  Any clue???

also, recall that I start up a small ferror panel via the post_gui hal file.  it works good. i like it.
but it does not close when I close linuxcnc.  I have to close it seperately with the X button, then it throw an error.
see the image.
 


 

QtDragon should remember the size and location of the window automatically without using -g - if it doesn't, that sounds like a preference file problem or a customization problem.

-m or -f should work too

I do believe the other error is fixed already - but I'll check. yep it's fixed. I guess your version is behind the source.

Preference file? what should be in that?
I see under [SCREEN_OPTIONS] there is mainwindow_geometry = xxxxxx
What should that be?
If I delete that specific line, will it regenerate? or be overridden?

If you hand edit the preference file - the screen must not be running or it will be overridden when the screen closes.

If you remove the line, it will regenerate.

I believe the line represents x,y,width,height

Right. There should be a = sign between them. The INI is right, I just said it wrong.

Chris,
ok I think i see what's up.
this is the last out of the pref file. I shut down dragon first, then my ferror panel.
if the numbers are as you mention, it's writing the info from the ferror panel..not the main dragon panel.
next time I run I will shut down the ferror panel before the main dragon, and see what happens....

[SCREEN_OPTIONS]
mainwindow_geometry = 1664 67 248 440

I am currently using a deb from Seb's buildbot2 repository. date:

linuxcnc-uspace_2.10.0~pre0.486.g7abb824bf_amd64.deb

are you and Jim (persei8) pushing to 2.9 or 2.10 or where/???

Well that's interesting. Does your panel has a screen_options widget?
You can control it's preference file from there.

Jim works in a private repo.
I push to the linuxcnc github repo 2.9 and merge up to master.
I'm not sure of the details of Sebs buildbot2 - do you have the link?
