  FYI: in the upcoming release RF3.1 both the magnetic as the show measurements attributes of a guideline will be part of the preferences: defaultGuidelineShowMeasurment defaultGuidelineMagnetic to change the default use, or the preference json editor (alt click the Preferences menu item): from mojo.ui import setDefault setDefault("defaultGuidelineMagnetic", 0)

  I will add this to the to-do list. The tooltip could refer to the UFO info attribute. Also see https://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/font-info/ for detailed documentation Thanks

  Is there any update on this. I'm trying to make a sub class of BaseWindowController to run a method if the window is already open. Still OpenWindow returns None. Thanks

  mmm, not directly from the robofab objects but you could use the naked object g = CurrentGlyph() # remove the first segment from the first contour g[0].naked().removeSegment(0, preserveCurve=True) good luck!

  if you want to receive those notifications, just add this .py file to the start up scripts in your preferences. This doesn't effect performance, unless to your part of the code, what is been executed when the notification is been send, takes a while.

  Thanks Frederik. That’s a very useful start. I see it does not inherit/use the text attribute of the Vanilla EditText, which I need, but I guess I’ll look into making a subclass of my own ... maybe for the version after next ;)

  Okay. I think I do understand. So thank you for pointing out and thanks in [hopefully not indefinite] advance for doing that UFO3 implementation :D

  you can always use "contains" or "match" options but it would be idd a lot nicer when the colors are updated when ever a glyph.mark is added or changed...

  for now only the close/open state of a panel inside the inspector window is saved to the user defaults. Not the the size. Will think about it :)

  good you found it! "printing" a traceback is very costly, but handy so you know what went wrong
