I finally (FINALLY) figured out what my problem was with py3 on macintosh MacOSX. I must have XQuartz running (an X windows application.) Whew!
It looks as if the Yaesu FT2D is at least partially working with GUI (I know it works with the CLI options.) Thanks. I’ll be trying it out RSN.
I can use the menus to get to recent files (File -> Open Recent). But I’ve run into a problem when I ask to open a file (File -> Open…) An error message shows up in my console indicating
File "/Users/declan/chirp/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 814, in _menu_open with wx.FileDialog(self, _('Open a file'), TypeError: FileDialog(): argument 3 has unexpected type ‘PosixPath’
and no dialog box ensues.
The code in question is
806 def _menu_open(self, event): 807 formats = [_('Chirp Image Files') + ' (*.img)|*.img', 808 _('All Files') + ' (*.*)|*.*'] 809 for name, pattern, readonly in directory.AUX_FORMATS: 810 formats.insert(1, '%s %s (%s)|%s' % ( 811 name, _('Files'), pattern, pattern)) 812 813 wildcard = '|'.join(formats) 814 with wx.FileDialog(self, _('Open a file'), 815 chirp_platform.get_platform().get_last_dir(), 816 wildcard=wildcard, 817 style=wx.FD_OPEN | wx.FD_FILE_MUST_EXIST) as fd: 818 if fd.ShowModal() == wx.ID_CANCEL: 819 return 820 filename = fd.GetPath() 821 d = fd.GetDirectory() 822 chirp_platform.get_platform().set_last_dir(d) 823 CONF.set('last_dir', d, 'state') 824 config._CONFIG.save() 825 self.open_file(str(filename))
I’ve no clue where or how “PosixPath” shows up in here, so I’m supposing there’s something wrong with Python or chirp that I’ve caused to get things running. Has anybody any ideas to fix the File Open dialog on MacOS, please?
