Hating Multiple Windows

• Chris Liscio

After working pretty hard on designing multiple windows and window controllers for FuzzMeasure, I was happy with how it all turned out. Unfortunately, I made that judgement far too quickly without actually trying to use FuzzMeasure for more than a few measurements. </p> <p> Multiple windows in FuzzMeasure are really clunky. Once you open a second document, you totally lose track of which windows belong to which document. It all starts getting very unmanageable and confusing real quickly. </p> <p> So, my proposed solution to this problem involves a big window that contains all three views of the information – the measurement record list, the frequency/phase response, and the impulse response. I'll be sure to throw a screenshot up once I'm happy with how it's working. </p> <p> Not much else has been happening from a development standpoint. I solidified a few things with respect to my payment processing, and built some Python scripts to generate my product pages for FuzzMeasure 1.2. At this point, I'm totally focused on getting FuzzMeasure finished off. There are still a lot of missing features (for example, impedance measurement calibration), so it my still be a while. </p> <p> I'd love to just throw out another preliminary beta soon, so that the interested testers can hammer on the core features, and I can focus on the finishing touches (like adding all the right copy/paste operations, exporting Octave/CSV files, etc). However, I won't release anything until impedance is fully completed. That's probably the most used (and useful!) feature of FuzzMeasure right now. :P </p>
