I am inviting everyone to work with me on this.

[sumeshir26]

Nice :) Reviewing soon

[sumeshir26]

Hey this is not working:

It seems to not detect things in its own dir

[sumeshir26]

Well once i cd to the src dir it works... odd...

BTW the UI looks nice!

[not-nef]

@sumeshir26 i forgot that

[not-nef]

and thanks a lot btw!

[sumeshir26]

Np, I think the ui would look better if you remove the border around the frames, did u try that?

[not-nef]

i made the borders so you could differentiate between sidebar and settings page. feel free to change it but please dont completely remove it or find a way to make them differentiable

[sumeshir26]

Ok. do it how u feel is good

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef I added a font loading method which does not rely on matplotlib but on Tkinter only, and it dosent take forever to build the font cache

Just wanted to ask you: what do you use to commit to github? I have always done it through the gh website. I assume you use git. But i dont know how to use it. Could you maybe take some time to explain to me how to use it to commit to a gh repo? I would really appreciate it!

Hi guys, it's me. I am not officially back since my exams are coming(the first exams of the year), and I couldn't respond much since I had problems of my own, but hey, I am back to help whenever I can.
Git is version control, ie. it allows you to save revisions of a file through commits - a secure method to save a snapshot of your edits. Each commit is secured by its SHA256 hash, which we call a commit tag/commit hash/etc.

Git, in its entirety, is quite simple. Sure, you have to set user config, but I have an ace up my sleeve for that.

So, let's make a simple guide.

Add/Stage files

Whenever you commit, you have to select the files you want to commit, ie. if you updated docs and are testing a file edit, you make sure that doesn't get staged(ready for committing) so that you can test peacefully without the pains of accusations(they do lead back to you). Git is a CLI, so we need to use commands. These are universal, so no changes will take place.

$ # To stage particular file(s)
$ git add filename.ext filename2.ext # and so on

filename => file name

ext=> file extension

Commit

So, this is a bit easy. Committing is just taking a snapshot locally. We all know how to do it, so I'll just shoot.

# Commit
$ git commit -m "Title message: following semantic commits is better" -m "Description"
# You can sign them(flag: -S), but that is of no use; any way you will learn it and possibly regret it too - failed for me :/

Push

This is fairly easy. This depends upon your file changes, so it is relative to the bits changed.

git push

My ace.

GitHub CLI. It is a smart thing since it is an extension of Git. Once you install and type gh auth login, it asks for authenticating your Git credentials, so it's easy to set Git configuration. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux, at cli.github.com.

Once you log in, you can clone repos like so:

gh repo clone [user-name]/[repo-name]

Please amend the user-name and repo-name values w/ your own WITHOUT the square brackets.

PS: Commit hashes are so random, it is SO rare to get the same hash; plus it's useless since that is a conflict.
PPS: You can use them to link back to commits here.

PPPS: It doesn't work on Linux :/

I think @sumeshir26 uses the VS Code's Source Control panel; I am classic via CLI, it gives me lot of control.

Perhaps I'll make a blog on this, when the time is right. I hope the main part helps. Use GitHub CLI to clone; it is efficient.

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef I mostly use VsCode's github intigration. Just click t icon on t sidebar

[not-nef]

Thanks!!

[not-nef]

First commit with git! finally

[not-nef]

programming is hard

[not-nef]

Courier New turned out to not be the default font

[not-nef]

Gonna add font size, mica and hotkey setting tomorrow!

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef I added the font size option, do you think it is good?

(Also, you should reallay get rid of txt2.py since it causes many problems like not cfgtools.init() not working when running it

[not-nef]

i was about to do commit that ._.

[not-nef]

btw your method of getting a list for the fonts does not have all fonts it seems

[not-nef]

also i have implemented it a little different

[not-nef]

this is a huge pr

[sumeshir26]

btw your method of getting a list for the fonts does not have all fonts it seems

What fonts are not seen by you?

[not-nef]

Helvetica eg

[sumeshir26]

Helvetica eg

Hmm I see Helvetica ...

[not-nef]

do you see it in the dropdown?

[not-nef]

I think we are ready!

[HuyHung1408]

I think I've missed lots of things here 🥲, just checked it out, looks great tbh

[not-nef]

Thanks! :D

Not needed ;)
