[QtDragon] Auto Tool Measurement approach and UI wishes/issues

Thanks Chris!
This works perfect for me. Now QtDragon is really usable for me.

One thing: On some popups like "Do you want to Shutdown now?" or the tool change request, the main screen goes blurry. I guess it should put the emphasis on the popup, but on older machines that's an intense operation. The window flickers shortly where you see an empty window frame inbetween. So, I would rather like to have this configurable.

BTW, with "Shutdown", I always associate a "System Shutdown". I might have just called it "Quit?" with the buttons "Cancel", "Exit QtDragon", "System Shutdown". Or, even better, have it configurable. Currently, I wouldn't need a "System Shutdown", but others that might autostart QtDragon on a touch screen and only use it to control their machine, might not need an "Exit QtDragon".

Cheers

shows you how to remove the blur affect. I should make it default actually.

Just in case someone is running qtdragon_hd....

The extra button sounded nice to me, even with the stock qt_auto_probe_tool script.

I copied the file as qtdragon_handler.py to the <CONFIG>/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon_hd since I'm running qtdragon_hd.

It didn't work. I renamed the file to qtdragon_hd_handler.py and presto it works!

Thanks Chris!

I am trying to implement this on Ver. 2.9.8 and am having no luck. Touch off for Z height works correctly and first tool run is correct. On second tool z height is high above the work piece. Any help would be appropriated.
