Just updated to 3.0.3 (3086) and it appears that the gauge tool has stopped working. I’ve got my dimensions set and just prior to the update it was working just fine in this file, but now it’s just got a ? in the middle and the circle is the wrong size.
Oh you know what?! It actually seems to be that it only works on certain glyphs. Because it’s working on letters and on the question mark glyphs, but it’s not working on numbers, slash, parens, etc.
I’ve never noticed that behavior before, but it could be it’s always been like that?
It looks like it is somehow designed to change cursor into the questionmark icon when using in glyphs from non-letter categories.
The same happens in G3 and G2.
Whenever I use it on numerals, the cursor turns itself into the questionmark.
This plugin’s code has so many nested try/except statements, it is hard to track if it is designed thing by a creator, or nasty error.
Wanted to bring this back up because I’m still finding that the gauge tool doesn’t work on glyphs in non-letter categories (for example numerals, punctuation, etc.)
A quick fix is for me to rename zero, for example, to a.zero and then I immediately have access to the tool. But is there a way to just make it work on all glyphs instead? I’d really rather not have to keep changing and unchanging glyph names.
@mekkablue and @oneweioranother - I went ahead and submitted the issue on the Gauge Tool Github page. Thanks for pointing that resource out to me. I had forgotten that the gauge tool isn’t a native Glyphs tool, honestly.
