Yad 6 bugs

[cou645]

Hi Victor I compiled yad 6 yesterday. The list function has much quicker loading and smoother scrolling. I also appreciate the improved graphics. I notice the scale of graphic elements has increased, I guess to match higher standard display resolutions. I have quite a few complex scripts, and these are some of the differences in functionality that I have so far noticed.

1. there is no splitter handle to adjust split position in paned mode.
2. paned mode, form + dnd. When form has scroll, dnd pane cannot accept splitter argument, plus no handle. Without scroll Gui opens minimised to buttons' total width and 1/4 height, I have 43 text fields in 3 columns, only bottom 3 fields of each column in view, until maximised.
3. tooltips have black background, which is much better.
4. notification icon works better at placing itself in viewing area, (no text off screen. ).
5. dnd pane does not have initial focus, and getting focus is difficult if dnd pane floats on yad gui!! Edit: I must use alt+mouse click to get focus. Frustrating.
6. form CBE fields no longer show an arrow to indicate selectable list.
7. overall performance and appearance much improved.

Suggestions:

1. Form text field background transparency.
2. form field cycle-read needs a marker or autocheck feature to keep button command aligned. Also yad manual should present cycle-read operations: echo - e '\' >$pipe clears single targeted field. echo - e '\f' >$pipe clears all fields. echo - e '' >$pipe retains field contents. I use piped "eval $CMD | while read line" to pipe continuous output to targeted text field.
3. list > add row +${NUM} Duplicat row +${NUM}.

Thanks for the upgrade. Marcos

Another bug to add Marcos' list for V6 8) --text-align center or fill. neither work if newline (\n) added in the --text. Newline is respected but center or fill ignored. All is left justified. If --text--align=right specified, all text is aligned right.

Further suggestion 4) ability to create a combined --list and --form dialog where the first (or user choice) line of the list acts as a form dialog so that new records can be added to the list with full control using --field.

I can move the split line in paned, but it's like 1 pixel wide! Dnd no focus only when - - undecorated. Progress now shows text on left and progress on right (not layered as before), plus ${NUM} % above both, layered is better imo. Search does not seem functional, as before.

Request fixed and hidden option for splitter.
