its been patched already and will be fixed in the next version of RF http://code.typesupply.com/changeset/1174 thanks

Thanks Frederik, the script solution sounds fine. Just one problem, the glyph windows has no method setGlyphViewScale ;) Maybe I'll have to wait for the next Robofont release? Your arguments sound sensible. Maybe I just should just try to keep a glyph window open constantly. That will preserve the zoom level when double-clicking on a different glyph. I have the habit to close and re-open glyph windows all the time, this led to the confusion.

If a tool is activated from the scripting window and not as an extension the easiest thing todo is to restart :)

that is gone! It was completely confusing UI with very low functionality's. If you want to have support for swapping and copying layers around, I suggest to set a hot key for "Copy / Swap to layer" see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/glyph-editor/ and http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/preferences/glyph-view/ (just adjusted the documentation) thanks

see how defcon is managing his representation factories: RoboFont uses a subclass to build the glyph cells see http://code.typesupply.com/browser/packages/defconAppKit/trunk/Lib/defconAppKit/representationFactories/glyphCellFactory.py use addRepresentationFactory to register a new one see http://code.typesupply.com/browser/packages/defcon/trunk/Lib/defcon/objects/glyph.py#L8 good luck

make the glyph cell smaller :) or see the link Bas posted.

see http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-ui/ from mojo.UI import OpenSpaceCenter OpenSpaceCenter(CurrentFont(), newWindow=True)

No, there is no short cut for that. Will think about that, for now you can toggle the pane at the bottom of a single font window

euh The checkbox means that the output window can hide if RoboFont is not the active app. To prevent cluttering if one is working in an other app. But this is handy if one is writing code to see traceback without having to go back to RoboFont to actually read the traceback. Enjoy!

This is already solved in the beta, and will be present in the next release.

naming inside a file isn't a good idea: all files have be parsed before a menu can be build will add some functionality to mojo.UI in the next version from mojo.UI import getScriptingMenuNamingShortKey, setScriptingMenuNamingShortKey data = getScriptingMenuNamingShortKey() data['/path/to/my/python/script.py'] = dict(preferredName="my script name", shortKey="d") setScriptingMenuNamingShortKey(data)

Thanks. :)

cool, post from 2012!! 👋🏼 If you have a script open both in RF and an external editor, edit it externally, jump back to RF, the script auto updates as long as no changes were made in RF. There is also a really cool helper for Sublime Text, by @bahman

I was more thinking of a preview hotkey as in the Glyph editor ;-)

Yeah I noticed the amount of info increasing/decreasing, but in this case since you can have an action on the selection, better make it visible :)

no, not possible, yet :) Ive just added new color prefs: http://cl.ly/D5FH will be in the next version

This works perfectly (1.1 beta 2), Thanks!

Thanks for the info about layer naming!

yeah, they will also get a "Cancel" button, so the changes will not be performed on the font.groups.

YEAH! :)
