Plugin Issue in Glyphs 3.3 and 3.4

Scripting
1

I have been developing plugin called GlyphsGPT
This is a plugin that enable you to use Claude AI or ChatGPT directly from your Macro panel of your Glyphs app. It can get messages from them and execute python codes directly so it almost works like a copilot.

It is a general plugin (with windows) written by Python and the UI was made by Interface Builder. Since I have to install anthropic and openai libraries, the Python is installed by Homebrew.

I check “Visible At Launch” in Interface Builder so I can see the plugin window when I run Glyphs App, but once I close the window I can not see it again until I restart my Glyphs App.

This issue only happens in Glyphs 3.3 or 3.4 but not in Glyphs 3.1 or 3.2.

I am not sure it is due to my plugin or a bug of Glyphs app. If anyone know similar issue?

You need to add an MenuItem that opens the window. Have a look here for details: GlyphsSDK/Python Samples/Plugin With Window/Plugin With Window.glyphsPlugin/Contents/Resources at Glyphs3 · schriftgestalt/GlyphsSDK · GitHub

And do not set “Visible At Launch”.

Thank you. I will try it.
