fix the issues ASAP.
* The biggest problem is that glyphs in the `ftview' mode aren't
displayed with correct vertical positions. This is serious bug and
must be fixed ASAP – I think I reported this already six weeks
ago...
This actually is a problem. I tried some ways to fix the same. I'll
try fixing the same ASAP.
* I don't like that there are tabs called `Ftview' or `Ftdiff'; a new
user has no idea what this is for. Instead, if you select one of
the `modes' with the radio buttons, the tabs on the left side should
change according to the mode (having functional names that helps the
user in navigation), and/or features that don't fit should be greyed
out.
I think you must have compiled the program from 'gsoc-2019-experimental'
branch. It's not completely updated. For the same reason I attached a small
introduction video.
So, options have been properly grayed out and tabs also have functional
names now.
Another issue is that selecting stuff from the tab suddenly changes
the mode; for example, if I select `Grid View', then `Ftview->Render
Mode->Stroked', the display no longer is in grid mode (but the radio
button still shows it). This must not happen. As mentioned above,
options that do not fit a mode must be disabled (or not displayed).
This also have been done.
* If a dark desktop theme gets used, the background of the main window
becomes dark, too. This is quite bad, since the various gray shades
are no longer displayed correctly. Please ensure that always a
white background gets used.
This part I haven't had a look at. I'll make sure to fix it.
* `Segment Drawing' doesn't work correctly. Segment lines appear for
half a second, then they disappear again. Additionally, it seems
that if both horizontal and vertical auto-hinting is selected, even
the short appearance can't be triggered.
This is not the case now. It works as it is expected to work.
By the way, the segment lines are too thick now. If the grid line
has a thickness of 1px, I suggest that segment lines are 2px thick
(i.e., ½px + 1px + ½px).
Sure! I'll make it a quick fix.
* The `All Glyphs' mode is mostly dysfunctional. For example, the
display doesn't get updated if I select auto-hinting.
Thanks for pointing out. I just noticed it. It was because of wrong functional
call.
Similarly,
pressing the `+10' button (and friends) only adjusts a single, red
outlined glyph that is always positioned in the center – what is
this good for?
That was supposed to be disabled while changing to 'All Glyphs' and
now it is disable as soon as we change to other modes. Same goes for
'+10' button (and friends).
* Another issue with the `All Glyphs' mode: If I select a large size
(say, 100px), I can't move the image around with my mouse. Ditto
for `Comparator' mode.
I disabled the drag mode in those modes. Since, everything
that was supposed to be viewed was displayed within the given
area. I didn't go through the possibility of changing pixel sizes in
these modes. Should I enable it back? And handle larger size in those
modes too?
* If I select a large size in `All Glyphs' mode, then select `Grid
View' the size gets respected. However, selecting `All Glyphs' mode
again, the size jumps back to a default size of 20px.
This is also on purpose. Because otherwise user had to scroll over the
canvas to search for the results if the size is too large. Thus changing the
size makes it easy to notice the mode change.
* All modes except `Grid View' mode lag a lot if I change parameters,
or if I move the panel with the mouse – this indicates a problem
with the implementation. Please fix that. It must work as swift as
the `Grid View' mode.
I'll see to that. Thanks for pointing it out.
* Please display number values on the Gamma scale (i.e., using a
different widget for the scale).
Noted.
* The Gamma scale behaves strangely: selecting values at the very
left, the image be brighter again! This can't be correct.
Yeah, I guess. Although I followed the below solution to achieve the current
* Gamma values should work in all modes, not only `Grid View'.
That is also completed.
Thank you for pointing out all the issues with details. I'll make sure
to resolve all ASAP.
