Speed punk plugin is not working

Hello. I have Glyphs Version 2.5.1 (1141) and the Speed punk plugin is not working. I could install it from the plugin manager but then when i use Glyphs is not showing the icon in the top bar / even if i Clicked show Speedpunk. Does anyone have idea what I could do? :slight_smile:

It is in the View menu.

Hello mekkablue. even if I press in the view menu is not working. do you have other suggestions?

Are you sure you installed the latest version?
It should be in View > Show Speedpunk (Cmd-Shift-X).

If it is not there, is there an error message in Window > Macro Panel?

I have a similar problem :confused: Speed punk works, but I can not see not the toolbar icon, neither the window with adjustments. Any suggestions?
Macro window message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Barbara,

Speed Punk’s latest version doesn’t have an icon or a tool window window anymore, in line with Glyph.app’s recommendations for user interfaces.
The tool is activated via the View menu or via the Cmd+Shift+X shortcut, and the tool window moved into the Context Menu of the Edit View, in other words the right-click-menu, and shows only when Speed Punk is activated.

As for the error message you’ve posted: Could you maybe mail me a test file where this problem occurs( to post at yanone dot de)? Because I can’t reproduce the error here on my side. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Oh, that’s embarrassing :wink: If I may suggest adding a screenshot with contextual menu at your website, maybe some other beginners could avoid confusion.
About the test file: sure, I’m mailing it right away.
Cheers!

Hi Barbara.

Thanks for your test file.
I found that the error message was printed there by decision, not by mistake. Meaning that at this point in the code I was anticipating a possible error because of a “division by zero” situation, was catching it, and printing it out.
I now simply changed my code that it won’t print the error message, and I would kindly ask you to simply ignore it. Speed Punk is working as it should. I will push out this change with a future update, but not now, because it’s not necessary.

And about the icon etc: I’ll try to think of ways to improve the documentation.
Good luck!

Hi, I have Glyphs 2.6.9. and I installed SpeedPunk through Window > Plugin Manager, but it isn’t showing up. At least nothing is showing like the screenshot examples. In the View menu, “Show Speed Punk” is listed as an option, but if I select it, the option doesn’t stay selected. Also, not seeing any errors in the Window > Macro Panel.

The current version of Speedpunk is not compatible with Glyphs 2. But we kept an older version around that is. But the Plugin Manager was referring to the new plugin. I changed that. So please remove and re-install the plugin.

I removed it and restarted, then reinstalled. But I keep getting this message:

The Plugin SpeedPunk_py.glyphsReporter has caused a crash. Please update it by opening the Plugin Manager or re-downloading it from the original source.

This usually means you don’t have Python installed (or are using the wrong Python). What do you have in Settings > Addons > Python version?

Thanks, looks like there isn’t a Python version listed. When in that window, if I click on the modules tab > Install Modules, it says The Modules can’t be installed.

Thanks, will look into it.
