Topic: Bug or... Some inconsistency

The save FloppyDisk Icon stays black after saving a project
When I draw an element in the 'element editor' and save it the black FloppyDisk Icon becomes grey, but this isn't the case when saving a project. BTW - In macOS the topleft window red dot should have a small black dot to show the documents is dirty ( as in altered and not saved ).


Deleting Items or Objects
Some elements can be deleted using Command X, others can only be deleted using left click and choose Delete.


When some drags an element it show long wires and I am okay with that but it connects always to another item when on the same level.
This happens also when I just move around an element, it draws a conductor again even that wasn't there before. A little annoying specially with the first point mentioned above.


Request - Is it possible to change the icon to a cross when after dragging ( drawing ) a conductor to another terminal ( blue dot ) then I can see the blue dot better. When the blue dot is pointing upward ( vertically ) the cursor covers often the dot ( zooming in is sometimes difficult to see the start and end point of a terminal at the same moment. I hope you understands what I ment. Or maybe the dots and the snap should be wider/bigger.

Hope that you understands what I meant to write.


Thank you for reading

1-For the red dot with black dot inside I don't know that exist because we don't use mac macOS. I put it in the todo list.

2-About deleting please open a new subject with more detail.

3-Automatic connection are enable by default, uncheck it.

This is normal, users had to ask to be able to make a backup even if the project had not changed, so the floppy disk icon remains active.

Re: Bug or... Some inconsistency

Creating an automatic or manually backUp is separated from the status of a dirty or edited document. Overwriting an already saved BU with a not altered file is a waste and error prone. Specially when a user is saving it on f.e an USB stick/drive or SSD. If some left the computer unattended for some hours because for a meeting or when working at home at the night the next morning is is saved for several 100's of times for nothing, there isn't changed a bit literally but just rewrote the file. Sorry sound silly to me.

I did check and yes it get saved every minute ( the BU save time setting ); this is very bad pracktisch, really, very bad.

If they want a BU, save automagically the file with f.e a tilde in the front or back of the file name; just one time till it, the document, was changed; thats the way to create a BU a separated file. This is the way.

Pun intended nomicons/wink


What happens here is not creating a backup, just saving the file many many times.

HTH to change the QET way.

BTW, in config you can enable or disable automatic backup and time to backup.

In year 2010, many users asked to be able to make a save even if the project had not changed, so the floppy disk icon remains active.
The program is much less robust in 2010 and could crashed for no reason.. and you loose your work..
There are also some guys who also asked us to be able to save an empty project, even if the idea seemed useless to us, we did it..

Afterwards, we are not against putting these functions back in place, but for 13 years people have not complained about it.
Try to close a project in progress, it will ask you to save it depending on whether it has been modified or not.

Not really..maybe a screenshot is better to understand.
Handles?

Hi,

Not the handles of an selected element or conductor; but the small dots mostly blue but some times red.

And then a crossed cursor/pointer to see the dot better.
Specially when zoomed out, the dot is not very visible.
At least on the mac it is hidden behind the mouse pointer.


HTH to get the idea

Yes, we know, and it's hard sometimes, but if you see this example, some guys come up with crazy plans....

Definitely true. But it couldn't be done  without QET development.
( did wrote with but meant to write without)


I use an Imac 27" retina and a 15" MBP retina, the DPI are dense.

Maybe the macOS pointer got a different location/direction then Linux or windows and the selector point covers a dot to much; I don't know.

Was trying to write a compliment to the dev’s.

Re: Bug or... Some inconsistency

Hi,
What your OS and QET version?

Sometimes it's a GPU driver's problem...

"Le jour où tu découvres le Libre, tu sais que tu ne pourras jamais plus revenir en arrière..."

Re: Bug or... Some inconsistency

Hi!

OS Windows 10 Pro, QET 5.15.9

In the meantime I realized the problem. The document size was too small and when I turn on the display grid buttons, it gives a homogenous dark background because the grid lines are so dense.

Thanks for the help!
