Week 15

I successfully transferred the stored JSON data from a text file to the mscolab server, enabling us to effortlessly store and retrieve layouts from the database. Additionally, I've begun the process of implementing the ability to store multiple top, side, and linear views simultaneously.

Week 14

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 20:43:06 +0000

have addressed the issues with the fs-filepicker test and have been actively addressing the bugs identified by Reimer. Concurrently, I am examining the current handling of connections in the mscolab file to gain insight into its dynamics. This will enable me to transmit the text file containing position data to the mscolab server and subsequently retrieve it when needed.

Week 13

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 18:03:34 +0000

I have created a pull request that introduces a feature allowing us to restore the layout from the configuration file using a button press or when transitioning between operations. During the restoration process, if a view widget is closed, it will be automatically reopened, and its position and size will revert to what was stored originally.

Week 12

Proceeded with the utilization of the geometry().getRect() method approach, which now successfully retains the positions of all windows from the allowed_widget_names variable in the text file in the .config folder. I have been actively engaged in the process of reinstating/restoring the layout through a button press, and subsequently, implementing an automatic operation switch for the same.

Week 11

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 19:16:21 +0000

Accomplished the creation of a preliminary pull request (PR) that introduces the capability to retrieve all pertinent PyQt windows within the MSS along with their associated child components such as comboboxes and push buttons. These collected elements are then saved into a text file within the .config folder. The subsequent task involves recording the coordinates of these windows on the screen. This can be achieved either by utilizing the geometry().getRect() method or by leveraging the pyautogui library. Subsequently, this data will be harnessed to relocate all windows back to their original positions upon a change in operation or re-opening, while simultaneously reinstating the state of their child objects.

Week 10

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 17:04:39 +0000

The test_fs_filepicker.py file requires significant modifications, but all other tests have been already updated. As for the MSS project, the UI changes have been completed, and I will submit a pull request with the appropriate implementation for data storage in a file within the next few days.

Week 9

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 18:26:00 +0000

I experienced throat pain and developed a mild fever. I'm happy to report that I am almost fully recovered. Will implement saving configuration function and and update the test of fs-filepicker.

Week 8

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 11:21:04 +0000

Solved the merge conflict on the fs-filepicker PR. Going through the files recommended by Joern. To get all the windows opened at the time of saving configuration on a config file maybe we can make similar function used to get shortcut in the shortcut dialogue (get_shortcut), will try to implement this next.

Week 7

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 18:04:33 +0000

I have successfully completed my college exams. With this milestone achieved, I am now fully committed to addressing the PR changes requested in fs-filepicker. Additionally, I will commence studying the files recommended by Joern for the second project. Looking forward to making significant progress in both endeavors.

Week 0 - 29th May 2023

shubhgaur.cse24@jecrc.ac.in (sratslla) — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 12:56:37 +0000

Greetings! I'm Shubh Gaur, an undergraduate student studying Computer Science at JECRC Foundation. Currently, I am participating in Google Summer of Code 2023, where I am involved in two projects: "Modernize fs_filepicker" and "mscolab: View Layout and Restoring."

Last week, I successfully completed the setup for the fs_filepicker project and have already started working on the user interface aspect of the project.

Looking ahead, my next task is to finalize the integration of Non - Essential Methods of Pyfilesystem into the fs_filepicker.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any difficulties this week and was able to handle everything smoothly.
