I'm using PyGTK's GtkFileChooserButton, which is working - but looks very weird on Windows environment. Is it possible to use native Windows file chooser dialog?
UPDATE
See the comments for possible directions. However, if you decide (like me...) that it doesn't worth the effort, this will make the Gtk FileChooser more tolerable:

CSIDL_PERSONAL = 5 # My Documents
# the 2 stackoverflow answers use different values for this constant!
SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT = 0 # Get current, not default value
buf = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(ctypes.wintypes.MAX_PATH)
ctypes.windll.shell32.SHGetFolderPathW(None, CSIDL_PERSONAL, None, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, buf)
if os.path.isdir(buf.value):
return buf.value
else:
# fall back to simple "home" notion
return(os.path.expanduser("~"))
...
my_documents = get_win_my_documents()
chooser.set_current_folder(my_documents)
chooser.add_shortcut_folder(my_documents)
# I'm not sure if it's a general solution, but works for me...
downloads = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), "Downloads")
if os.path.isdir(downloads):
chooser.add_shortcut_folder(downloads)

When preparing lectures, or conference presentations with beamer, I usually use layered drawings. Then for graphics included in consecutive slides ("frames" in beamer), I simply use different sets of layers.
For graphics created in IPE, I have created a dedicated expallviews.lua script.
Unfortunately, for graphics created with diagrams.net locally run as drawio-desktop, no such automated export of various layers exists. The only way is to manually select the visible layers in GUI and then export consecutive drawings to a set of PDF files.
Is there a more convenient method to solve that problem?
The described problem has been reported in issues 405 and 737 in the drawio-desktop repository.
After reviewing those issues, I have found a method based on automated (instead of a manual via GUI) changing the visibility of layers and exporting such drawings to the set of PDF files. The proposed method is described in the comment to the issue 405. It uses a simple Python script:
#!/usr/bin/python3
"""
This script modifies the visibility of layers in the XML
file with diagram generated by drawio.
It works around the problem of lack of a possibility to export
only the selected layers from the CLI version of drawio.

[Disclaimer: I have published this question 3 weeks ago in biostars, with no answers yet. I really would like to get some ideas/discussion to find a solution, so I post also here.

For one of my projects of my PhD, I would like to access all variants, found in ClinVar db, that are in the same genomic position as the variant in each row of the input GSVar file. The language constraint is Python.
Up to now I have used entrezpy module: entrezpy.esearch.esearcher. Please see more for entrezpy at: https://entrezpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/
From the entrezpy docs I have followed this guide to access UIDs using the genomic position of a variant: https://entrezpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/esearch/esearch_uids.html in code:
# first get UIDs for clinvar records of the same position
# credits: credits: https://entrezpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/esearch/esearch_uids.html
chr = variants["chr"].split("chr")[1]
start, end = str(variants["start"]), str(variants["end"])
es = entrezpy.esearch.esearcher.Esearcher('esearcher', self.entrez_email)
genomic_pos = chr + "[chr]" + " AND " + start + ":" + end # + "[chrpos37]"
entrez_query = es.inquire(
{'db': 'clinvar',
'term': genomic_pos,
'retmax': 100000,
'retstart': 0,
'rettype': 'uilist'}) # 'usehistory': False
entrez_uids = entrez_query.get_result().uids
Then I have used Entrez from BioPython to get the available ClinVar records:
# process each VariationArchive of each UID
handle = Entrez.efetch(db='clinvar', id=current_entrez_uids, rettype='vcv')
clinvar_records = {}
tree = ET.parse(handle)
root = tree.getroot()
This approach is working. However, I have two main drawbacks:
entrezpy fulls up my log file recording all interaction with Entrez making the log file too big to be read by the hospital collaborator, who is variant curator.
entrezpy function, entrez_query.get_result().uids, will return all UIDs retrieved so far from all the requests (say a request for each variant in GSvar), thus this space inefficient retrieval. That is the entrez_uids list will quickly grow a lot as I process all variants from a GSVar file. The simple solution that I have implenented is to check which UIDs are new from the current request and then keep only those for Entrez.fetch(). However, I still need to keep all seen UIDs, from previous variants in order to be able to know which is the new UIDs. I do this in code by:
# first snippet's first lines go here
entrez_uids = entrez_query.get_result().uids
current_entrez_uids = [uid for uid in entrez_uids if uid not in self.all_entrez_uids_gsvar_file]
self.all_entrez_uids_gsvar_file += current_entrez_uids
Does anyone have suggestion(s) on how to address these two presented drawbacks?
So.. I've been coding to make a GUI show the quantity of currency of a player, the datastore API works perfectly but the local script doesn't (it's local because else it would just update it each time a player's currency gets updated and would be a mess being the opposite of what I want to)
and well... sometimes it loads the currency into the GUI but other times it just stays on the original text: "Label" instead of my current currency (4600)
here's the proof
What normally happens and should always happen
What sometimes happens and shouldn't happen:
here's the script, I've tried putting waits on the start but the original code is inside the while true do..
wait(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Data")
wait(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Data:WaitForChild("Bells"))
while true do
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Data"):WaitForChild("Bells").Value
wait() --wait is for not making the loop break and stop the whole script
end
well.. if you want to see if data is really in the player, here's the script, it requires a API (DataStore2)

local CustomClothes = Instance.new("IntValue",Data)
CustomClothes.Name = "CustomClothes"
local function CustomClothesUpdate(UpdatedValue)
CustomClothes.Value = CustomClothesDataStore:Get(UpdatedValue)
end
local function BellsUpdate(UpdatedValue)
Bells.Value = BellsDataStore:Get(UpdatedValue)
end
BellsUpdate(DefaultValue_Bells)
CustomClothesUpdate(DefaultValue_CustomClothes)
BellsDataStore:OnUpdate(BellsUpdate)
CustomClothesDataStore:OnUpdate(CustomClothesUpdate)
end)

end)
workspace.TestDevCustomClothesGiver.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local CustomClothesDataStore = DataStore2("CustomClothes",player)
CustomClothesDataStore:Increment(50,DefaultValue_CustomClothes)
end)
the code that creates "Data" and "Bells" is located in the comment: Data Stores
the only script that gets the issue is the short one with no reason :<
I hope that you can help me :3
#Night94 I tryed your script but it also failed sometimes
The syntax in your LocalScript is a little off with the waits. With that fixed, it works every time. Also, I would use an event handler instead of updating the value with a loop:
game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Data"):WaitForChild("Bells").Changed:Connect(function(value)
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = value
end)
I am using Qt Ruby
How do I keep the value of a user entered QlineEdit to keep its state even after the program is closed, in that way, the user can access the contents the next time he opens the program.
Solution 1 - using File.write/read:
edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
File.write(filename, edit_widget.text)
exit
After the program re-start:
text = File.read(filename)
edit_widget.setText text
Solution 2 - using QSettings:
settings = Qt::Settings.new(filename, Qt::Settings::NativeFormat)
edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
edit_widget.text = "abcde"
settings.setValue("field1", Qt::Variant.fromValue(edit_widget.text))
settings.sync
exit
After the program re-start:
settings = Qt::Settings.new(filename, Qt::Settings::NativeFormat)
edit_widget = Qt::LineEdit.new(parent)
edit_widget.text = settings.value("field1").toString
I'm making a script for Garry's Mod and it's almost complete but for some reason when ever I type in the new Cvar i made it won't change host_framerate. if anyone know what the problem is your a life saver.
local speedCvar = CreateClientConVar( "speedhack_enabled", 0, true, false )
local speedHackCvar = CreateClientConVar( "speedhack_enabled", "0", true, false )
local speedHack = SpeedHackCvar:GetString()
local speed = function()
if (speedCvar:GetInt() == 1) then
speedHack = SpeedHackCvar:GetString()
RunConsoleCommand("host_framerate", speedHack)
else
speedHack = SpeedHackCvar:GetString()
RunConsoleCommand("host_framerate " , speedHack)
end
end
Remove the local from first of each line (creation of your objects) to make your objects go globally across the lua. Your problem is that your functions are localized, which means they can only be accessed from the file/code block or chunk they're created in.
Oh and also you had a mistake on your code, which Is fixed (From reading comments on your post).
