Hey, I would like to suggest two features that would come in handy. Maybe some of the things are already there, I just don’t know how to access them.
I use a lot of filters, so the left sidebar is usually very long. It is just a workflow thing and it helps me a lot. I would like to suggest a thing that would tidy up the sidebar: a possibility to disable certain predefined lists that are there, for example I don’t need runes or music notation for most of my projects, so it would be great to remove them from the sidebar if I want to. Or maybe with the new file, in a configuration window I could choose which scripts are going to be included in the font, or maybe through a custom parameter something like “default lists visibility”.
I would really use a smart filter that shows only glyphs that contain at least one curved segment.
I expect that this would be too slow to process the filter as it needs to look into each glyphs layers. That takes some time and would need to be recomputed a lot.
Probably better to write a script that collects all glyphs in a new tab.
@Szakoba Here is a script oi open NewTab with curved Glyphs
#MenuTitle: New tab with curved Glyphs
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
font = Glyphs.font
master = font.selectedFontMaster
glyphs_with_curves = []
def has_curve(layer):
for path in layer.paths:
for segment in path.segments:
if len(segment) == 4:
return True
return False
for glyph in font.glyphs:
layer = glyph.layers[master.id]
if has_curve(layer):
glyphs_with_curves.append(glyph)
glyphs_names = "/"+"/".join([g.name for g in glyphs_with_curves])
font.newTab(glyphs_names)
That’s so helpful!
