Hi Mathieu,

I’ve been wanting to do the same. I just spotted this in the 1.4 release notes:

• page begin, page end jump through anchor selection

(they’re the home and end keys on my keyboard)

Perfect for my needs. Thanks Frederik!

Double points when generating ttf

Akiem — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:49:57 +0000

When generating ttfs (with the option preserve points) I get some double points in the ttf contours (for letters with more than one contour).
Am I doing something wrong?

TTF contour, where first point and last point are identical in contour 1.

Original UFO contour.

Thank you for the very useful shortcuts!

I’ve realised by using the Cmd-click to select component, that the pointer needs to be on top of the component, which often makes the component slightly move (in my experience). I’ve looked through the documentation but couldn’t find a shortcut to only select components. If this is useful to other users and if I’m not missing a trick, may I suggest Alt-click?

Thanks for reading and listening.

Boing!

My mistake was a typo: It´s CheckBox, not Checkbox … Ah, the joys of programming!

Thanks for your help! :-)

joanca, frederik, thanks for your fast answers!

joancas suggestion works. Though I read often that

exec()

might be dangerous to use. Unfortunately I get an NameError with frederiks variant:

NameError: global name 'Checkbox' is not defined

This is my current code:

from vanilla import *

class setOrganizer():

    def __init__(self):
        self.w = Window((400,400), 'checkBoxWindow')
        
        for i in range(10):
            checkboxObject = Checkbox((10, 10, 10+30*i, 22), "label %s" % i)
            setattr(self.w, "checkBox_%s" % i, checkboxObject)

        self.w.open()
        
setOrganizer()

Reply To: Autosave

Thanks Frederik,

It only saves one file, but it doesn’t continue to update the autosave file, which is what I thought it would do.

- Make newfont.ufo at 10:00am – > newfont (autosaved).ufo appears in autosave folder with 10:00am save time.
- Continue working on newfont.ufo without saving for 20 minutes – > newfont (autosaved).ufo still has a 10:00am save time.

Shouldn’t autosave be updating the file every ten minutes?

was there any change in the document? it autosaves only 1 version of the file (as default)

a better way is to use setattr

for i in range(10):
    checkboxObject = Checkbox((10, 10, 10+30*i, 22), "label %s" % i)
    setattr(self.w, "checkBox_%s" % i, checkboxObject)

Probably there’s a better way of doing this, but at least, in the meantime, this works:
) sorry I don’t know how to format code properly in the forum :(


from vanilla import *
 
class checkboxWindow:
    
    def __init__(self):
        
        self.w = Window((400,400), 'SetOrganizer')
        
        for n in range(5):
        
            exec("self.w.checkBox%s = CheckBox((10, 10 + (25*n+1), -10, -10), 'Label', callback=self.checkBoxCallback, value=True)" % (n))
        
        self.w.open()
    
    def checkBoxCallback(self, sender):
        print sender.get(), sender.getTitle()
 
checkboxWindow()
