    I would love to select two or more points and say ‘combine points into one point’. This function would calculate the average center of selected points + calculate average bcps for that one point. Would be handy for cleaning paths, for example after auto-tracing. In the next update maybe?

    That would be an excellent extension :)

    It would also be an excellent native function…

    I’ve written an extension that does this.

    https://github.com/charlesmchen/robofont-extensions-and-scripts

    If its not what you had in mind, or if you have any other ideas for extensions, let me know.

    I’m not yet satisfied with how it updates control points adjacent to “merged” points.

    He

    cool!

    Move your scripts that have callbacks from the menu to the root folder.
    From there you can import everything inside a RoboFont extension.

    Hmm, I’m not sure I understand.

    You’re saying that any script that corresponds to a menu item needs to be in the root folder (ie. the “script root” in the Extension Builder)?

    no, but you will have access to other python scripts and modules if they are on the same level or deeper
    (this isn’t a limitation of RoboFont, this is default python behavior if the module isn’t added to the site packages or sys.path)

    scripting Root
- test.py                       # test can import testFolder and all sub py files  
- testFolder                 
-- __init__.py
-- otherFile.py                 # otherFile can not import test.py or otherTestFolder
- otherTestFolder
-- __init__.py

    hope this makes sense

    Ah, I see what you mean.
    Alternately, RoboFont could add the root folder of the extension to the python path when it invokes a script from that extension.
    I’m not sure how you’re invoking extension scripts in Robofont…

    Anyhow, I’ve reorganized the extension per your suggestion.

    Thanks

    mm, I think this will be a mess after a while.
    It’s already super easy to add a path to sys.path :)

    Yes, you’re right.

    I moved this extension to http://charlesmchen.github.com/typefacet-robofont/

    a progress bar example:

    from defconAppKit.windows.progressWindow import ProgressWindow

# CurrentFontWindow is only available only in RoboFont 1.3
from mojo.UI import CurrentFontWindow

import time

progress = ProgressWindow("my progress")
time.sleep(2)
progress.close()


## attach as sheet to a window
progress = ProgressWindow("my progress", parentWindow=CurrentFontWindow().window())
time.sleep(2)
progress.update("action....")
time.sleep(2)
progress.close()

## with tickcount
count = 20
progress = ProgressWindow("my progress", tickCount=count)

for i in range(count):
    time.sleep(.1)
    progress.update("action....%s" %i)
    
progress.close()

    cool, thanks.

    Hmm, that can’t be right.

    for i in range(count):
    time.sleep(.1)
    progress.update("action....%s" %i)

    You’re formatting a string with an int but using the string format descriptor: %s
    Also, shouldn’t progress.update() take an int argument?

    Lastly,

    from mojo.UI import CurrentFontWindow

    Yields:

    importError: cannot import name CurrentFontWindow

    in RoboFont 1.2

    oho, just saw this:

    # CurrentFontWindow is only available only in RoboFont 1.3
