Its apparent I was running the wrong editor. I'll have to explore this. I do not know if the pi/jessie has it though. Looks to be no, unless the name was changed: pi@picncsheldon:~ $ sudo apt install glade-gtk2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package glade-gtk2 So on that machine I've done it all with pyvcp and xml. One of the things I could use if it existed was a clickable led with 2 hal inputs and one output (so its clickable) with 3 colors. The pushbuttons to enable the dials are hard to push and have considerable travel before actually hitting the switch, then it takes another 3 or 4 pounds to actually actuate them. When I went looking for a switch, it was either that one, or about a million various colors of gameing pushbuttons, all needing more than a square inch of panel space to mount them, max panel thickness in the 1/8" range (this one is 1/2" thick) and a light bulb wired across the contacts. Doorbell buttons would have worked, but I put 150 miles on the GMC looking for one I could remove the ^%#%& light bulb from without demolishing it. I tried burning it out once, left a conductive coating on the inside of the glass. Poison for logic circuits. It looks like qt won the gui war. On the armhf jessie install: sudo apt list *qt*|wc -l 697 So where do you start? Or is there, buried in 697 lines of *qt*, a qt designer? Sort of: qt4-designer/oldstable 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3+deb8u1+rpi1 armhf But I don't see a qt5-designer in that list. And the qt4 version has at least 3 missing dependencies according to aptitude. I don't envy the task at hand, Chris. It looks like 2 months worth of work on the system itself before its in shape to attack the missing gui tools. Good luck, and thank you.
