Yeah…

Please have patience with me. Let me try asking this again…
With regard to ToggleActiveToolPalettes
, does this video show the expected/desired behavior?
Logged RH-65131 Preferences > Tool Palettes > Hide tool palettes when starting commands: should exclude some commands.
Hi Dan, this video is almost complete the only thing that you need to do now is this:
Hit the screen edge (ToggleActiveToolPalettes) so that your “circle” tool palette reappears on the screen as in your above video.
Then select a command from the from the “circle” tool palette on your screen.
The desired behaviour should be that the “circle” tool palette hides and you can continue with / finish the selected command.
When the “circle” command is finished the “circle” tool palette should stay hidden.
You should then be able to select different commands e.g. the “line” command from the left menu bar (static) and draw some lines etc. or any other command input action.
If I now again hit the screen edge (ToggleActiveToolPalettes) then the hidden “circle” (or whatever active) tool palette should reappear. and a sequence as described above could be repeated.
This is what we are looking for in behaviour
This!
Philip
…and same thing for the popup toolbar: no reappearing after finishing a command!
Philip
Thank you. I think we have finally gotten to the crux of this issue. I’ve made a comment here in RH-57945, as I understand it.
Can you please do a little testing for us?
ToggleActiveToolPalettes
.Rhino.Options.Advanced.LeaveFloatingPanelsHiddenOnMac
is set to true
(enabled/checked).Does Rhino 7.10.21217.05002 behave as expected?
Hi Dan,
Wow !! great work and this is almost what we had.
The main ( sequence ) behaviour as we described before is exactly what you build in this trial version, with one exception were the active tool palette still pops-up unwanted.
I try to describe below how to recall this unwanted behaviour.
Now the hidden “Active tool palette” (in this case Circle) appears suddenly.
This reappearing of the (hidden) active tool palettes happens after any other command that you repeat by the space-bar.
The active tool palettes should however always stay hidden until requested to reappear by the ToggleActiveToolPalette command.
If you can implement this also then I think we have covered the issue.
@Philiph
Do you see any other issues in the behaviour that I might have missed.
Best regards,
Eckhardt
I haven’t had time to test yet - will try it today or tomorrow. However… I don’t see any mention of the popup command’s ‘misbehaviour’ (which was mentioned in those other threads). That’s the one that causes the most grief for me personally.
Philip
Ok, sorry @dan - you did mention the popup toolbar. However… I tested Rhino.Options.Advanced.LeaveFloatingPanelsHiddenOnMac
(set to true
) with a number of toolbars (also popup) - and the result isn’t yet quite what we would expect as @Eckhardt already mentioned above. These problems have been discussed a long time ago in this old thread (as I already mentioned). The new option Rhino.Options.Advanced.LeaveFloatingPanelsHiddenOnMac
is working much better than the previous version mention in that thread, but it’s not perfect yet (doesn’t work like in V6 and WinRhino). Please take a look at the whole thread once more. Every problem related to floating panels is described there.
This is the problem with this new version. Also… If you follow the steps described by @Eckhardt above, but invoking the line command (in 5.) with an alias (I have: l = ! _Line) I get the reappearing of the circle tool palette already after 6.
As mentioned: The active tool palettes should always stay hidden until requested to reappear by the ToggleActiveToolPalette command.
Philip
Nope, sorry guys - this is NOT fixed! You can very easily test it for yourself @dan. Just follow the steps @Eckhardt described:
Also see my reply above:
Once more:
The active tool palettes should always stay hidden until requested to reappear by the ToggleActiveToolPalette command.
Philip
I try to describe below how to recall this unwanted behaviour.
Thank you @Eckhardt, I was able to reproduce the undesired behavior using the steps you provided. I reopened:
RH-57945 Preferences: Added advanced setting to suppress tool palettes reappearing after command completes
Hi @Eckhardt -
We have done a bit more work. Please try these steps:
ToggleActiveToolPalettes
.Rhino.Options.Advanced.LeaveFloatingPanelsHiddenOnMac
is set to true
(enabled/checked).Rectangle
and complete it._Line
command and complete it.Are we making some progress here?
Hi @Dan, and team
This is Perfect! Thanks.
The toolpalette toggle behaviour is now working similar as in R6.
This makes my quick modelling tool-palette useful again.
@Philip
Does it also work for you when you use it with an alias?
best regards,
Eckhardt
After a quick test: this seems to be working now! Also the popup from the MMB. Great! What a relief
Thanks!
Philip
Wonderful! Thanks for confirming. It should show up in a Service Release Candidate in a little under a month, then in the stable Service Release after that.
Great! I think I’ll use this Rhino version till then
Philip
