Add a "preview" option

[AjaxFNC-YT]

I have stuff that switches the page, but i cant test it without exporting as py. u should add a "preview" option to just run the file

also possibly a "open .py" instead of .json, saving json then exporting py is kinda just annoying

[Akascape]

Ok, I will try to add this in next version.

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Added the option in v6.0

[AjaxFNC-YT]

yo, u should add a way to select mutipule items and manage them, like delete muti, edit muti, and duplicate muti, when dupiclating it should allow u to move both of them

[AjaxFNC-YT]

also a way to enter a video for the video widget

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Selecting multiple widgets will be tough to implement.

Secondly, if I add the ability to add video then I have to pack the pyav module which is >50mb in size. It will increase the exe size, so that's why I have not implemented it. But you can add your video easily in the widget through code.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

alr, could you add a image widget?

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Already implemented the ctkdraw widget which is only for images. Features of ctkdraw:

• add any image
• adjust filters like blur, contrast, sharpness, brightness and more
• use it as a drawing canvas if required
• paste more images through code.

I recommend using this widget if you want to add images in the app.

However there is also ctklabel/ctkbutton where you can add images.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

ok, thank you, could u add a undo option?

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Will work on the undo option.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

Hello, is there an update for the undo option? alos i have another suggestion, could you add snaplines the widgets (so i can snap them to the center) just like a image editor would have?

[AjaxFNC-YT]

any updates? V6 works good, but its kinda buggy

[AjaxFNC-YT]

im gonna use V5 again, V6 is good and has good features, but dam, its annoying with the bugs, for example, i change a color on a object, and next thing you know, i click off of it, and it goes back to what it was before. very annoying while tryna make GUIs.

@AjaxFNC-YT Can you further explain this bug? Like some screenshot

[AjaxFNC-YT]

Here is a view of me showing it

Idk if it showcases it well, but i hope it does.

also another issue ive been having, most of the time the preview button just doesnt work/do anything when i press it

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Ok, the first is behavior is happening because the bg_color is automatically set to the background frame color. You can fix that widget in frame after changing the bg_color. Or change the fg_color as it's a label, it's not actually a bug.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

And for the preview button not working?

[AjaxFNC-YT]

Also I should be able to turn that off, u should make it a setting where it automatically does that or not

[Akascape]

also another issue ive been having, most of the time the preview button just doesnt work/do anything when i press it

@AjaxFNC-YT You might be using a different python version when you preview it, because the modules are not installed in that version. You have to change it to correct python version, just move the correct version to top in environment variables of windows. Or install the modules in the default one.

@AjaxFNC-YT

Also I should be able to turn that off, u should make it a setting where it automatically does that or not

Yes, but why changing the bg_color of the label? There are already workarounds. bg_color should always camouflage with the background, that's how customtkinter widgets should work.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

for some reason its not, it takes the bg, but it should take the bg of the frame

[AjaxFNC-YT]

question.. what does V7 add?

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Changelog for V7 is given here: https://github.com/Akascape/CTkDesigner-Support/discussions/26

[AjaxFNC-YT]

is there a way you could make the draw widget not make the corner radius not a circle and more like a corner like a button?

this is the circle thingy:

it should only do the corners, not make it a circle: kinda like this:

idk if its possible to fix/add a option for, but, just thought i would say something, its kinda annoying, at the moment i have to make it a PNG and round it in another software, would be cool if i didnt have to do that. also ik CTRL + Z is expermental, but could you make the ctrl + z undo pastes (ctrl + v)

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Ok, will add this soon.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

Will there he a 7.2?

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Maybe not in 7.2, minor updates are provided when there are some major bugs in the version. New features are added in major versions, which I think is a good update plan/roadmap. But I can provide an update in ctkdlib, where I will add another feature to solve the problem you described. But it will be a manual parameter which you have to pass through the parameter box.

[AjaxFNC-YT]

please do.

[Akascape]

@AjaxFNC-YT Added a new parameter balanced_corner, you can set it to True to get equal corner radius instead of an oval. For now, you have to manually add this line in the exported code, make sure to update ctkdlib to 7.1

[AjaxFNC-YT]

W!!!!!! Thank you for that, it looks so much better now. And i was able to add it in the actual app by passing balanced_corner=True then clicking preview

[AjaxFNC-YT]

Bug: the grid lines dont stay at the top, i can put a frame over it and it goes away.
