Hello Sebastian,
I must admit you took me by surprise when you wrote you wanted to
include features in next stable release.
I knew it would be interesting but I though that it needed some more
refinements before.
I have a tight schedule currently and cannot spend much time to rush the
project.
It seems that you deleted bringing_features and I do not blame you. I
hope you still think that it is a very good add-on
to linuxcnc, nothing else comes close. Since I wrote more than 90% of
the code I am the one that knows it best and I will help you.
But you should not work with version 2.0 it is outdated, having been
released about 4 months ago.
Version 2.01 released last month is much better. They both have much
code and files to delete.
Those releases were the first I made and it was some kind of market test
to find the interest.
I believe version 2.02 will be ready to include in stable linuxcnc and I
am proposing you what I know will work.
Please correct me on what does not fit your view.
Features depend on a good directory structure and links to those
directories.
APP_PATH : /usr/features
files in this dir : features.py
features.glade
features.ui
CHANGES
README.md
sub-dirs : catalogs
lathe
mill
examples
graphics
images
ini
lathe
mill
lib
support
Working dir : $HOME/linuxcnc/features
link to APP_PATH/features.ui
links to APP_PATH/...
catalogs
examples
graphics
ini
lib
support
USER_DATA : $HOME/linuxcnc/features/user (not $USER, full access)
(preferences file will be saved there, no need to create)
sub-dirs : catalogs
lathe (files that will be saved here : default
template and history)
mill (user will save his modified menu.xml)
graphics
ini
lib
scripts (or the name you think is best, this is where
resulting file 'features.ngc' will be saved)
xml
No files need to be created. This is where the user puts his
modified files.
Features will first search files in USER_DATA and use it if
found, else it uses APP_PATH
Links needed :
/usr/local/bin/features to APP_PATH/features.py (stand alone from
anywhere, no need for args, everything from defaults or preferences file)
/usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp/features.glade -> APP_PATH/features.glade
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp/features.glade ->
APP_PATH/features.glade
/usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp/features.py -> APP_PATH/features.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp/features.py ->
APP_PATH/features.py
optional :
/usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp/features_user -> USER_DATA
Files to edit :
/usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py
/usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml
Linuxcnc ini files
axis-features.ini, axis_mm-features.ini and axis_lathe-features.ini
could be added in sim.axis
without any other files
OR
sim.axis.features dir could be created with the needed files
Similar option for gmoccapy
This is what I am preparing for release 2.02
I hope to have it ready in less than one month. Some new features I am
adding are very difficult to implement, gcode is terrible IMHO.
Regards
Fernand
