History

#1 Updated by Camilo Polymeris over 12 years ago

I'll have a look at this during the next days, if nobody else is working on it.

#2 Updated by Victor Olaya over 12 years ago

Perfect!

There is a class named AlgorithmExecutor. That's where it should go. If you have questions, just ask me, ok?

#3 Updated by Camilo Polymeris over 12 years ago

Was implementing this in the GUI code, but am not longer sure that is the right approach. Perhaps it should be lower level, so the functionality can be used in other parts of the code?

#4 Updated by Victor Olaya over 12 years ago

IT should go on the AlgorithmExecutor Class. All other classes call it when executing an algorithm. It is on the gui package because it is used by gui elements, but we can move it later to another one. It is not itself a GUI class.

This weeks diff. Includes mostly GUI improvements (percentage, feedback and a close button) and some attempts at making the iteration code work. I'll update the blog at sextante-gsoc.blogspot.com with more details, but here some technical considerations:

  • Am getting crashes with the (working thread) iteration code, apparently accesses to QPixmap, but haven't been able to find the source of the problem.
  • Using "new-style" PyQT slots and signals. Is that ok?

Note that the cancel button only disconnects the finished signal, since the backends don't support cancelling. One could just terminate them, but that might be problematic (file access and such).

Iteration should work with the attached patch.
