Hi Frederik,
Ouch, I will see if I can get this to work, may thanks!
October 16, 2012 at 09:50 in reply to: Build single one-time operation tool/button in glyph window, like RemoveOverlap #5148For now, I haven’t found a way to directly insert my toolbarItem into the toolbar as I couldn’t get
insertItemWithItemIdentifier:()atIndex:()to work in the context of my script/extension, but probably I’m just being daft here.So currently I read all the items in the glyph window toolbar, add my item, and use vanilla’s addToolbar method to replace the toolbar. That’s looking good so far, all the previously present items are there, glyph tools work, and my item shows up (not as a button yet, that’s lined up next). RemoveOverlap in the replaced toolbar crashes right now when clicked (I guess I’m somehow breaking the delegate or something), but I hope to get that sorted, too.

October 15, 2012 at 07:25 in reply to: Build single one-time operation tool/button in glyph window, like RemoveOverlap #5133Hi Frederik,
again many thanks, esp. for the link to the vanilla docu.
Now I got the observer working, I have the button and the actual functionality, but I can’t seem to get hold of the window properly to perform all the additional steps to add a toolbar item:
def glyphWindowDidOpenCallback(self,info): gwin = info["window"] nswin = gwin.getNSWindow() #or whatever I try here…… gives me:
AttributeError: ‘DoodleGlyphWindow’ object has no attribute ‘getNSWindow’ (or whatever I try to get from the window)I feel it’s just a simple but crucial bit I’m missing here, any leads come greatly appreciated!

p.s. ain’t it funny that the actual functionality mostly comes easy peasy, hooking the thing in the UI doesn’t exactly… :-/
October 14, 2012 at 13:52 in reply to: Build single one-time operation tool/button in glyph window, like RemoveOverlap #5116Ouch, i was hoping it was a tad easier than that.
Many thanks Frederik, I will give it a try.
So my extension would need to live as an object independent from BaseEventTool, observe if a glyph win opens and then add an NSButton object to it, correct?Hi Frederik,
generating them with a script would be the option I’m after.
Good to hear it’s coming!F
Yes, this is exactly what I need right now! Thanks so much Frederik!
FranzOk, convinced :-)
It’s a floating window now.Just pushed 1.1 to github:
Many thanks Frederik, I tried that but felt somewhat awkward (at least to me), not in terms of Undo but in the environment of the other windows. Will reconsider though.
In any event, I have just pushed my first little RoboFont Extension to github:
Hi Frederik,
one more thing: The Undo/Redo seems to be available in the Edit menu only when the Font Collection or the Glyph Editor window has the focus, not when my own window is in front.
Am I still doing something wrong or is this OK/expected behaviour?
Sorry to be a pain, I just want to know if I’m doing ok and learn a bit while at it :-)
Many thanks,
FranzHi Frederik,
many thanks, works a treat!
I just wasn’t aware the undo manager was bound to the glyph.Franz
