Dear friends,
some people asked for a simple way to disable the preview debug modes
in current git (2.0.12dev) for a while without unselecting all the
checkboxes, but keeping the point and click links (i.e. the good old
Preview mode). Also some wished that point and click could be disabled
for a while, while keeping some preview debug options, hence the maybe
somewhat confusing option "Disable Point and Click links" in the
preview mode panel.
What do you think of a third main mode:
- Preview mode (just point and click, as it has been)
- Publish mode (no point and click)
- Debug mode: this mode listens to the settings in the Debug mode panel.
Also settings like: Verbose and English Messages (currently in
Preferences) could move to the debug panel.
The debug panel should get a title like "Debugging options".
The custom engrave dialog and the LilyPond preferences page can be
simplified a little then.
Shall I do it? Please give me green light :)
This sounds good, I like the conceptual separation of Preview and Debug
mode.
But I have one question: How would Debug mode relate to point-and-click?
Janek's request was to compile in Debug mode (as of your new suggestion)
and be able to switch point-and-click independently from this.
My suggestion [if that's not what you intended anyway] is to have a
Point-and-Click option on the Debug panel (the contrary of the current
way to _disable_ point-and-click). So this would be a checkbox that is
usually checked but can be unchecked on demand.
In addition I suggest adding a tool button on the panel to compile in
debug mode. While of course shortcuts are most convenient to trigger
compilation it is rather probable that one is on the panel already
before compiling.
If you start doing that I will keep my hands off from that area for a
while. (Git is cool but if one can help preventing conflicts ...)
Best
Urs
