A strange issue of Marker Browser

edited October 2011 in KLayout Support
Hi Matthias,

We encountered a strange issue when using marker browser, could you please help to solve it?
I have no idea how these strings of splitter and splitter_2 were generated, however the following
setting would make marker browser malfunction, after select the results database, the marker database
browser dialog window wouldn't switch to Directory/Markers/Info mode.

<rdb-window-state>
MarkerBrowserDialog="AdnQywABAAAAAAJFAAAApwAABToAAAPNAAACSgAAAMEAAAU1AAADxgAAAAAAAA==";
splitter_2="AAAA/wAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAABAAAABgEAAAAB";directory_tree="";
splitter="AAAA/wAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAABAAAABgEAAAAC";markers_list="";
</rdb-window-state>

Although to remove this line is a easy temp way to fix this issue, maybe we could
find the root cause and solve it forever~

Really appreciate your effort on klayout, thanks~

Best Regards,

    Hi Chhung,

    the configuration entry stores the window state and holds some Qt internal information which I can't read but just pass to Qt when restoring the window state.

    In your case, the only strange thing I see is the empty directory_tree and markers_list entry. However, when I paste the lines into my 0.21.13 installation on Windows7/64bit I don't see a problem. Except that the marker list is collapsed, but that's easy to fix: just move the mouse over the right side of the window until you're over the splitter handle (the mouse cursor will turn into a double arrow) and pull open the marker list panel.

    If that's not the reason it may be a Qt problem. If you're on Unix: which Qt version are you using?

    Best regards,

    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

    I tried it again and found as you said, the issue is the marker list was collapsed/hided at the right side and pull it to left is the best way to solve it, thank you~ :)

    Mathias,

    This module that use calibre drc.db as input is very useful! Many thanks.
    However, to open a drc.db file, we need to select at least 1 layer : why ?

    Hi OkGuy,

    I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Do you mean you'd like to show all errors without having to select one layer? That can be done by clicking at the "All" category.

    Regards,

    Matthias

    Actually, we only need to select 1 layer to see all DRC errors, and it is fine for me.
    I just find strange that I need to select at least 1 layer.
    If we could load the DRC .db file withoput selecting any layer, it would more intuitive.

    The finest stuff is that we then see error by error after loading the DRC .db file.

    Hi OkGuy,

    maybe selecting the first or layer or the "All category" initially is a solution. I'll consider that.
