Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

I think you are confusing machine units and displayed units.

The ini [TRAJ} defines the machine (native) units.
The preference file defines the displayed units.

and in Gscreen there are two ways to select displayed units.
On the preference page the button set the starting unit type (inch or mm)
On the main page there is a units button that allows a user to change the units without saving it to the preference file.

for example :
My machine is mostly metric so I define the machine in metric units.
I work in inches, so I set the starting units to inch (preference file)
If I have a metric job, I can switch the display to metric (main screen) if that's easier for me.
but if I restart Gscreen it will be in inch again.

A user is free to change the displayed units as they see fit and at any time.

That is exactly what I understand, but IMHO after a restart of the GUI it should display the DRO in machine units. For most people switching between units is not necesary.

Norbert:
next time you merge gscreen, try adding this to your handler file:

def initialize_preferences(self):
self.data.theme_name = 'Follow System Theme'
self.gscreen.init_dro_pref()
#self.gscreen.init_theme_pref()
self.gscreen.init_window_geometry_pref()
self.gscreen.init_general_pref()

Will do this.

Chris,

Can you resize the buttons on indrustrail. I think you could get another button on the side if you fix the sizing of the large buttons.

Where did the rest of this thread go? I only see 60 pages and the first page is no longer the first page?

But more posts per page?

Perhaps, but where did the first half of this thread go?
