Hello, in Leo v6.8.2 I have configured `@string qt-layout-name =
vertical-thirds`, which is closest to what I want. Some questions:
1. How to persist the size of the panes? This used to be remembered after
restarting leo, but now the left-right split always starts at 50%.
With the new layout system, all layouts equalize the pane sizes when
applied. There is currently no way to remember what pane sizes used to be.
I remember that with the old system, sometimes the sizes were remembered
right and sometimes they weren't. That was annoying so for the new system
we didn't put any effort into restoring sizes. It would be possible to
write a script to change the size ratios for any particular layout after it
has been applied. The ratios would be hard-coded into the script. That
should not be very hard.
2. Previously I was using a layout of 3 panes next to each other, since I
use an ultrawide display: outline, body, log. Is such a layout still
possible?
It is possible and I use it often. Currently there is no built-in layout
for this arrangement but there are two ways to get it:
1. Use the "vertical-thirds" layout and then run the *layout-swap-log-panel*
command.
2. Run this layout command. You can make an @command setting for it in
myLeoSettings,leo if you like:
from leo.core.leoQt import Orientation
VRX_PLACEHOLDER_NAME = 'viewrenderedx_pane'
LAYOUT = {
'SPLITTERS': dict(
(('outlineFrame', 'secondary_splitter'),
('secondary_splitter', 'main_splitter'),
('bodyFrame', 'main_splitter'),
('logFrame', 'main_splitter'),
(VRX_PLACEHOLDER_NAME, 'main_splitter'))
),
'ORIENTATIONS': {
'secondary_splitter': Orientation.Vertical,
'main_splitter': Orientation.Horizontal
}
}
dw = c.frame.top
cache = dw.layout_cache
cache.restoreFromLayout(LAYOUT)
If there is interest out there - so far it's you and me - this layout could
be added to the built-in set of layouts.
3. There still is a free_layout plugin included. Is it still supposed to
work? (I get .. line 442, in free_layout_context_menu splitter =
c.free_layout.get_top_splitter()`AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'get_top_splitter'` when trying it).
No, that machinery is gone now.
