Presenting view and console
-
That Overlay class is quite nice :) I'll keep it around for later, but it does have some quirks:
for one, the below crashes when trying to set the .text:
if __name__=='__main__': view = ui.View() view.frame = (0, 0, 240, 240) view.flex = 'WH' view.background_color = 'white' valuefield = ui.TextField() valuefield.frame = (120, 34, 120, 34) valuefield.text = "ana" # ⇒ crashes Pythonista view.add_subview(valuefield) o=Overlay(content=view,parent=AppWindows.root()) -
Hmm, I couldn't reproduce the crash, though to get to run I had to add
nameto view (something I should fix), and also enabled touch so the textfield is active.Can you enable the faulthandler (see @dgelessus's pythonista_startup repo) and let me know exactly what is crashing?
from overlay import Overlay,AppWindows import ui if __name__=='__main__': view = ui.View(name='hello') view.frame = (0, 0, 240, 240) view.flex = 'WH' view.background_color = 'white' valuefield = ui.TextField() valuefield.frame = (120, 34, 120, 34) valuefield.text = "ana" # ⇒ crashes Pythonista view.add_subview(valuefield) o=Overlay(content=view,parent=AppWindows.root()) o.content_view.touch_enabled=True -
@dgelessus awesome scripts :D
@JonB the above main body I placed in overlay.py and simply ran the file ( after correcting the name issue )Fatal Python error: Aborted Current thread 0x000000016e117000 (most recent call first): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objective-C exception details: NSInternalInconsistencyException: Only run on the main thread!

mmkay, looks like we need a
@on_main_threadsomeplace. Could you try adding this in front of the init method of Overlay? -
yep, that worked :D I put it on attach
@on_main_thread def attach(self):now that Overlay is awesome for a quick settings screen :)

Using Overlays
My first post to the forum.
Using the Overlay class successfully — added the decorator to the attach function as was mentioned.
@on_main_thread def attach(self): self.parent.addSubview_(self)In my demo file, I have a main image overlay (resizable) and two auxilary image overlays (resizable). Each of the overlays could have any kind of UI elements; just showing images for proof of concept.
I have found that, for each overlay, the following statements must be in the order shown or else the overlay window will not resize.
ooo=Overlay(name='abc', content=vvv, parent=AppWindows.root()) ooo.content_view.border_width=2 vvv.content_mode=ui.CONTENT_SCALE_ASPECT_FITHere is my demo file; provide your own PNG files (foo.png and fooe.png).

@struct_engr, excellent first post.

@struct_engr
Had to register as a new account.
Could not access my old account.
Several recover password attempts did not work.
So my new username is struct_engr_ (added underline character at the end) -
@struct_engr_ , did your recover password attempts result in no email arriving, or was there some other issue?
-
@mikael
each time:
no email arrived ASFAIK
carefully checked spam folder
possible that email hit blacklisted IP addresses
FYI
certain IP addresses blocked because of spam -
@struct_engr_ , I think the problem is that for the past 6 months or so, no emails from this forum get actually sent. Neither the password resets or other notifications. @omz, any chance you could take a look?
