Hello Genodeans
Today I switched from Sculpt 18.05 to 18.06. The automatic arrangement of the inspect window inside the free area of the Leitzentrale is very convenient.
Only one thing doesn't work for me at the moment. In 18.05 it was possible to increase the width of the log window by changing the configuration for log_nit_fb in /config/leitzentrale. I used this a lot for better readability of the log.
Best regards, Pirmin
Hi Pirmin,
Only one thing doesn't work for me at the moment. In 18.05 it was possible to increase the width of the log window by changing the configuration for log_nit_fb in /config/leitzentrale. I used this a lot for better readability of the log.
the placement and size of the windows is not configurable at this point and potentially subject to further changes in the next iterations of Sculpt. Everything is still in flux. In the longer term, I ultimately want to remove the log window from the leitzentrale. Instead, all interesting information should better be reflected by the GUI. The log window is just an intermediate solution until we get there.
For actually reading the log, I often prefer to use 'vim /report/log' in the inspect window instead of looking at the tiny font of the log window. The log window is really only good for getting a quick indication of what's happening. Alternatively, you may start an instance of pkg/noux-system in a regular window and watch the log via 'tail -f report/log'.
Anyway, if you want to tweak the window placement by the means of customizing the sculpt manager, please have a look at [1], in particular the log_min_w and log_win_h constants.
