Blank window on start (Flent 2.1.1, macOS) #293

Closed richb-hanover closed 8 months ago

richb-hanover commented 8 months ago

I installed flent using pip on my macOS 12.7.2 machine. Running flent-gui from the command line was surprising:

The flent window opened and displays "GUI Loaded using ..." briefly in the bar at the bottom left of the window.
That legend disappeared.
Nothing else happened... I wondered if there was some weird Qt/Python/system problem.
Eventually, I farbled around in the menus and found Run new test Cmd-R which worked as expected.

My request: If no other action is specified, perhaps the Run new test could occur by default. Many thanks.

Hmm, I don't think defaulting to running a new test is a good idea, but we can show a message with a hint about what to do when nothing is loaded. Could you please test if #295 works for you?

Looks good.

Since we're talking about defaults, could the "Run new test" suggest RRUL by default? It's highly likely that this what newcomers want, and experienced users can choose their favorite. Thanks.

Update: I also reported an error message, but it was my error (wrong IP address...) PEBCAK - "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard"

Sure, why not - added to the PR as well :)
