Single Window Mode + separate font overview

Is it possible to open a separate font overview window? :)

Cheers Thom

I have this... But it is buggy. See if you scroll. If you change a glyph the factory doest work, only after scrolling/clicking on the overview.. Here I need a bit help :)

from vanilla import *
from defconAppKit.controls.glyphCollectionView import *
from defconAppKit.windows.baseWindow import BaseWindowController
from mojo.UI import SetCurrentGlyphByName

class MyFont(BaseWindowController):

    def __init__(self, glyphs):
        self.w = Window((900,600), '')
        self.w.collectionView = GlyphCollectionView((15, 15, -15, -65), doubleClickCallback=self.double, cellRepresentationName='doodle.GlyphCell')
        self.w.collectionView.setCellSize((100, 100))
        self.setUpBaseWindowBehavior()
        
        self.w.collectionView.preloadGlyphCellImages()
        self.w.collectionView.set(glyphs)
        self.updateTitle()
        self.w.open()
        
    def updateTitle(self):
        title = f.info.familyName +' - '+ f.info.styleName+',  '+ str(CurrentGlyph())
        self.w.setTitle(title)
        
    def double(self, sender):
        order = f.lib.get('public.glyphOrder')
        SetCurrentGlyphByName(order[self.w.collectionView.getSelection()[0]])
        self.updateTitle()

f = CurrentFont()
g = CurrentGlyph()

glyphs = []
for g in f.lib.get('public.glyphOrder'):
    glyphs.append(f[g])

MyFont(glyphs)

I want the glyph collection view on a second screen. And all the rest on the main screen. :)

I would like an example. Many thanks Frederik!

You will have to write a tiny script that takes a font and creates a new window with a glyph collection view. Any double click could then open a glyph window.

Could you elaborate why you would need a second (or multiple) font overviews?

I can make you an example, if you wish...
