Snapshot10 release

[Kulik]

New snapshot has been released. Archives provide testing sample data with CEGUI 0.7 and CEGUI 1.0 datafiles.

There have been 8 issues fixed from the last snapshot9. There are no drastic changes this release, it is all bugfixes and polish. This is the release that I will be defending my thesis with. Development will not stop though of course! CEED will see a stable release with CEGUI 1.0 release and will be developed continuously.

Great progress, it's coming along nicely

I have an issue saving layouts though. It throws an exception whenever i try to save a layout that contains AutoWindow, and for some reason it inserts AutoWindow sections in the code section for all my layouts (TitlebarFont and such)
Even the default samples that comes with CEED does this, if you open "samples\datafiles0_7\layouts\TabControlDemo.layout" and try to save it, it will throw the same exception.

Code: Select all

Exception message: 'NamePath'

MorbidAngel,
thanks for the feedback! I can reproduce the issue with TabControl only, it works for the other 0.7 layouts. Keep in mind that CEED does NOT support TabControl at the moment, support for it has to be added. That said, I will fix this particular issue for the next release.

Good to hear you're working on the TabControl issue

I tracked my issue down to setting TitlebarFont in layout.
This is reproduce-able in the sample samples\datafiles0_7\layouts\Console.wnd (might wanna rename to .layout and include it in the project?) as well, trying to save it will throw the same exception and this sample sets TitlebarFont in layout as well.

Can't even set it globally in Look'n'Feel via initialValue"fontName" it will insert the AutoWindow and fail to save.

Doing this in FrameWindow:

Code: Select all

<Property Name="TitlebarFont" Value="Qlassik-14" />


And it inserts:

Code: Select all

        <AutoWindow namePath="__auto_titlebar__" >
            <Property name="Font" value="Qlassik-14" />
        </AutoWindow>


And throws exception when trying to save.

[MorbidAngel]

Found another minor 0.7 compatibility issue, when saving "HorizontalAlignment" setting to "WordWrapCentreAligned" in 0.7 it should be "WordWrapCentred"

[Kulik]

MorbidAngel: thanks, I will take a look at this.

Hi,

I'm experimenting with this new editor and getting this exception after I add a radio button to a group box and attempt to save the layout:

Code: Select all

Exception message: 'NamePath'

SW OpenGL: 3.0.2a1
SW PyCEGUI: 0.8.9090

Just a guess, but I think it can be something to do with the fact that it adds automatically an _auto_conentpane_ between the groupbox and the radio button. Since if I add a radio button directly to the root window there is no problem.

Can I do something to get around this problem at the moment?

Thanks.

[Kulik]

Hi jadam,
thanks for the report. I think this is the same issue as http://www.cegui.org.uk/mantis/view.php?id=901 and has already been fixed. It will be part of the snapshot11 release.

Keep 'em coming

[jadam]

Hi Kulik,

thanks for the fast reply.

Is there any way I can with the current release circumvent this problem? Or should I just give up on groupboxes until snapshot11 is released?

Thanks.

[Kulik]

Sadly it's not just group boxes, it's any widget that has auto windows inside. Including scrollable pane, tab control, etc...

I am not sure how to circumvent it. If you target CEGUI 1.0 the problem will obviously go away but that's likely not what you want. I would like to (no promises, as always) release snap11 this weekend.

That would be awesome. No pressure

This error was really getting in my way but i managed to find a rather hacky workaround - I couldn't quite get CEED to run from the repo (i don't have much experience with python and ran into major issues with qt, pyside.org being down is a major pain) - however did manage to get far enough to get a compiled pyc file that contained the fix.

I opened up the library file of snapshot10 and put the cegui.pyc file into /ceed/compatibility/layout/ - had no problems after that.

All this was on windows python 2.7.3 32bit btw - i can upload a copy of the pyc file if needed; and if this fix is "safe"?

[Kulik]

Icewave's workaround might or might not work. If it works it might be valuable to upload your entire library.zip for people to try.

Please do not submit bug reports with that release and please do consider it unsupported by me. Kudos for the effort though
