Settings window: Modes toggle buttons are hard to actuate

[oskay]

Tested on Mac. Some of the mode buttons are very challenging to press-- they seem only intermittently responsive.

The way they're made likely has their two clickable elements moved around a bit. I'll verify and attempt a fix.

Hmmmmmmm

Not quite seeing the problem. :confused:

This was captured with "LICECap" (terrible name, great app), with click animation on. See if you cant reproduce and record it and I'll see if i can tell what's going on.

[oskay]

The problem is only in the Modes panel.

[oskay]

OK, yes, LICECap is a great app.

Aha! That is actually on purpose! Core modes are not switchable. Notice they're somewhat faded to denote their disabled property. The idea being that core modes represent something that is expected and not directly toggle-able. I've been waffling on what to actually do for this, and tried it with having everything be adjustable, but you still kind of need them, so I just went with "disabled == core".. course it doesn't quite make sense for spiral... Eh. It's all a test.

[oskay]

Ugh. You do realize that this means that they can't be turned on either, right?

[oskay]

Related issue: The "Reset" button turns all of the modes off. (This is probably not the intended effect.)

Once the modes are off, the core modes cannot be enabled, except by quitting and restarting RoboPaint.

[oskay]

Also: Is there any reason that the core modes must be left visible? I can imagine situations where one might want to only allow enable (for example) the remote print mode.

[techninja]

Aha!! THAT is the real bug there! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to disable them in the first place. What do you recommend (besides fixing the reset all mode disabled bug)?

[techninja]

Yea, makes sense. We don't technically need the disabled locking. I'll just remove that and a user could choose to only have remote paint visible.. though clicking on a quick load image will still load the print mode

[oskay]

Yes, disabling the modes is how I came across this. :)

Allowing you to disable any should be a great solution.... and auto-loading a mode like that when you ask for it sounds like a reasonable side effect.
