Categories again!

Hi Liviu

Its me and categories again.
I have discovered that if I create, say two categories for a grade
and decide (for some or other reason) to delete both categories,
FET WILL NOT ALLOW me to erase/remove the last category.

Is this a bug?

Eric

Hello, Eric,

Thank you for your report!

Yes, this is a bug, but it is very tricky to fix. I tried to fix it, but the dialog is ugly if I allow 0 categories. It is very error-prone and I am afraid to change working code.

You can simply go to the groups dialog and remove all the groups in this year.

I might try some more, but I am not sure. I will let you know if I succeed.

I will add this in the TODO for now.

Thanks Liviu for your prompt response.
I will use the workaround.

Hello again, Eric,

I thought about it and I implemented your request. Please get the latest snapshot from https://lalescu.ro/liviu/Backup-fet/ (for now) and please test it thoroughly, trying to find bugs.

I intend to release a new version in about 3-4 days, so please let me know before that.

Hi Liviu

Will do!

Hello again, Eric,

I made some minor improvements in that dialog, maybe you could have the time to test again a bit: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/Backup-fet/

Hi Liviu

I at it!

Hi Liviu

The change works well, in both versions that you sent me.

Just note the difference in the two diagrams.
Or am I just nitpicking?

Thanks

Eric

Hi, Eric, thank you for testing!

It is OK, because if you have 0 categories FET will consider this year empty and add automatically a group and a subgroup in it. Please generate with an empty year and see the students' timetable.

Hi Liviu

The timetable generates just fine with a grade that has no categories. In the Data, Activities, Add , no categories are shown, as expected.

However, I just find the line in your last post a bit confusing. Please see the attachment.

Thanks

Eric

Oh, not here, but generate the timetable and see the students' timetable. FET will add "Automatic Group" and "Automatic Subgroup" for an empty year.

Hi Liviu

Its doing exactly that!

Thanks Liviu.
