Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

The fix (adding sleep()) works on all my VMs except Ubuntu. OTOH, Leo loads so fast on my Ubuntu VM that I don't really miss the splash screen. Funny how some of my Linux VMs are very fast and some are sluggish. I don't generally find Ubuntu/Gnome snappy, but it does load Leo quickly. The s

I can confirm your results. On the second node body, only three of the five matches are reported. When I step through using F3 in the Find tab, it does find all five (one at a time). On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 10:49:28 PM UTC-5 Félix wrote: > i'm having some trouble with the 'find-all' co

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

A short sleep() makes the splash screen display on those recalcitrant VMs: if not pixmap.isNull(): splash = QtWidgets.QSplashScreen(pixmap, WindowType.WindowStaysOnTopHint) splash.show() sleep(.05) # < Allows the splash screen t

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

I've got four Gnome-based VMs and the splash screen isn't building on any of them. It starts to but doesn't finish. On the XFCE VM, it displays as on Windows. On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 8:36:45 PM UTC-5 gates...@gmail.com wrote: > FWIW, the current devel commit does *not* display the splas

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

FWIW, the current devel commit does *not* display the splash screen on my Arch Linux install using the Cinnamon desktop environment (at one point a derivative of Gnome 2, now well and truly its own thing). Anecdotally, I do remember the splash screen displaying on this Linux installation historica

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

Now I'm bummed. The splash screen displays properly on Manjaro, a Linux distro using XFCE. But on two Gnome systems, Mint and Debian, it acts the same as before I added the repaint() call. This will take some more digging. On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 6:25:17 PM UTC-5 Edward K. Ream wrote:

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

I found a simple fix. It's now in a pending PR. You have to repaint() the splash screen after show()ing it. It looks like the splash screen may never have been visible on Linux(!). On Monday, January 23, 2023 at 4:36:18 PM UTC-5 Thomas Passin wrote: > Hmm, I forgot to check with Linux. I'll

Re: Leo now shows an svg splash screen

Hmm, I forgot to check with Linux. I'll do that next. OK, I don't see the splash screen on two different Linux VMs. I see what's happening. When Leo starts, I see the splash screen forming and the region that the image will occupy is blanked (or made transparent, possibly). But then the re

Re: OT? Beware of ChatGPT

The thing about ChatGPT and similar neural network systems is that they know how to string words and phrases together based on probability densities estimated during training, but they don't know about the underlying concepts. They don't know math but they can *sound* like they know math. So

This is good to see. I would like the splash screen to be smaller than 600 X 600. It seems much larger than the old screen, and also looks pixelated, a surprise for an SVG image. The SVG image opens at 804 pixels, according to Irfanview; trying half that looked about the right size for a spla
