#249 [suggestions] A few minor issues

2024-01-20T12:38:43.291000Z

Hi Gilles,

thanks for reporting. Next time please use the Github bug tracker at https://github.com/wxGlade/wxGlade/issues
It's also linked from the wxGlade help menu.

I will update the readme file for the next version, telling people about the binary version. This is the first time I have uploaded a binary at all. It's more for the people who are using C++ or Perl. When using wxPython, the recommendation is to use the wxglade.py with the target version.

What is your OS, Python and wxPython version? I don't see the problems with .pyw or window positions.
Just to be sure: you're closing the GUI window, not the console?
The position should get saved to "C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\wxglade\wxglade.ini" when wxGlade is closed. Do you have this file and does it get updated on saving?

wxGlade has a debug console built in. When you run the .pyw file, could you please press F7 and check this in the console?
import sys sys.executable
For me that would display '... \Python36\Pythonw.exe'' or '...wxGlade-1.1.0a2\python\pythonw.exe'
If you see python.exe instead, then this means that your registry is set up such that .pyw is linked to python.exe instead of pythonw.exe.

Also, I don't get the protection message. Probably there's no way to get rid of this other than the user deactivating SmartScreen:

https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/windows-protected-your-pc.html

As of now, the html page seems to be available. The online version of the documents is more for people who have not yet downloaded wxGlade. After download, press F1.

Regards,
Dietmar

[suggestions] A few minor issues

2024-01-20T11:04:11.622000Z

Hello,

As a newbie learning wxWidgets on Windows 10, I have the following suggestions (entered as a bug to avoid having to subscribe to the mailing-list just for this):

In the Download section (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxglade/files/wxglade/1.1.0/), explain the difference between the two zip files with very different sizes (wxGlade-1.1.0a2_win_amd64_update.zip and wxGlade-1.1.0a2.zip). I figured out the former includes Python etc. so can run on a bare new computer, while the latter assumes Python and wxPython are already installed in the system
While the problem doesn't occur with the self-contained zip (ie. 40MB file), the smaller zip displsys the console even when double-clicking on wxglade.pyw (which shouldn't occure with a .pyw file)
wxGlade always starts with the window ~half the size of the screen, so the user must maximize it manually, and the application doesn't remember this so it must be done every time even though "Remember position and size of wxGlade windows" in Edit > Preferences is checked by default.
When running wxglade.py(w) the first time, Windows says: "Windows protected your PC" with the "Don't run" button. I suggest finding how to tell Windows wxGlade is a safe binary.
As of 20/01/2024 11:58:36, the URL doesn't work ("An error has been encountered in accessing this page.") : https://wxglade.sourceforge.net/docs/acknowledgements.html

Cheers,

#248 Problems while generating Windows Executable

2022-05-16T18:57:35.786000Z

I don't use / create installers, as the user usually needs wxPython anyway. If you find the bug, please inform me. Better use the github tracker, which is also linked from the help menu.

Problems while generating Windows Executable

2022-05-13T07:39:49.961000Z

Good Morning, nice to meet you.
I tried to generate a windows installer, with the following system versions:
76 INFO: Pyinstaller: 5.0.1
77 INFO: Python: 3.9.9
88 INFO: Platform: Windows-10-10.0.19044-SP0
by executing the batch file

PS C:\Users\user\cbrunelli\Desktop\wxglade-1.0.4> install\pyinstaller\build.bat

but it says:

option(s) not allowed: 
    --onedir/--onefile 
    --additional-hooks-dir
makespec options not valid when a .spec file is given

So i removed those options and changed the hookspath parameter inside the .spec file to "hookspath="install\pyinstaller\hooks",
but pyinstaller couldn't find wxglade.py so i moved the .spec file to the wxglade-1.0.4 directory, and then i launched pyinstaller targeting the .spec file from there, always using the --clean --noconfirm options.
I got only the onedir executable but it does nothing.
I'm trying to figure it out by myself but i can't understand what's wrong.
Thanks

solved.
thank you.

It looks to me as if you try to run wxglade by executing the code in something like a shell window.
Please run wxGlade e.g. by double-clicking the file wxglade.py or by a command line
' C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe wxglade.py'

NameError: name'config' is not defined, etc.

Nice to meet you.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please check it because an error occurred when using it for the first time.
