Help images not generating properly

[rauletaveras]

Hello! First, I'd like to thank you for this program. Second, for some reason, whenever I create help images for my custom keyboard, they do not generate properly. This is what I mean:

• It creates a file called "state0.png" at the root directory of the layout, which contains what seem to be extended symbols (such as alpha with acute and capital C-with-cedilla with acute). This is used as the default display image.
• It creates a file called "state0.svg.png" with the proper layout for state 0 for my keyboard.
• It does not create the "state1.png", "state1.svg.png", or any of the other state or dead key images. The layouts themselves seem to be working perfectly—it's just the images that aren't generated and thus don't update as I use the different states.

There is likely something wrong with the way I have configured things, but I've read the documentation, compared with other layouts, and messed around, and I just can't get it to work. I'd appreciate your help, or anyone's who knows how to solve this.

Details about my setup:
OS: Windows 11 build 22621.2428

;;  - The Layout.ini file may point to a base layout as well as Extend and DeadKey table files.
;;  - It can override BaseLayout and EPKL_Layouts mappings, add key remaps and other layout info.
;;  - To use a layout, try the Layout/Settings dialog from the EPKL tray menu (or Ctrl+Shift+6).
;;  - Another way is to edit the EPKL_Layouts .ini 'layout = ' line and/or Type/Mod/ID/etc entries.

;;  ================================================================================================================================
;;  Program Settings file
;;  for EPiKaL Portable Keyboard Layout (EPKL) by Øystein "DreymaR" Bech-Aase (2015-), based on PKL by Máté Farkas (2008-2010).
;;  For more info, see the README files and the Big Bag Of Keyboard Tricks: https://dreymar.colemak.org – select Windows.
;
;;  - For Layout choice and settings, use the EPKL_Layouts .ini file(s). For program settings, use EPKL_Settings.
;;  - For each of these, there is a Default file and optionally an Override file, the settings in which take precedence.
;;  - For Extend layer mappings (navigation/editing etc), use the _eD_Extend.ini file. Set the modifier key in your layout.
;;  - In the Files folder there are also DeadKeys, Compose and PwrStrings files that contain different types of mappings.
;;  ================================================================================================================================
;
;;  The EPKL Settings GUI:
;;  - You can set many of the settings below with a handy EPKL Settings window from the EPKL Layout/Settings menu.
;;  - Any changes you submit from that window will be written to your Override file, thus taking precedence.
;;  - If you wish, you can then edit the entries manually in the Override file. You may also Reset them with a button.
;;  - The Settings GUI can also change the active layout, special keys (Extend and Compose) and individual key mappings.
;
;;  EPKL Settings Default file info:
;;  - Any settings in an EPKL_Settings_Override.ini file will override the corresponding Default settings in this file.
;
;;  EPKL Settings syntax:
;;  - You can use yes/y/true/1 and no/n/false/0 as entry values for all Boolean (yes/no) choices.
;;  - To disable hotkeys or other settings in your Override file without touching the Default, you can set them to --.
;;    - Otherwise, simply comment their line(s) out with a semicolon in the Default file to disable them.

What an odd layout. You have mappings on AltGr+Shift, but not on plain AltGr?

You should probably check out the HIG setting for which states to generate images for. Also, have you tried defining the base states explicitly (instead of VK ## mappings) for the purpose of image creation?

It seems to me that you've done something that I didn't think about, somehow. Not entirely sure what that is, yet.

Oh, hang on: In your settings file you have this oddity:

imgStates       = 0:+1:+6:+7  ;:8:9:e:f

Whatever is that thing? If you want to generate states 0,1,6 and 7 use the normal 0:1:6:7 syntax. No plus signs to ruin everything, please! If you do indeed have nothing defined on state 6 then omit that.

Oh, I get it. You misread the help text above the setting. That explains how a state is calculated, as a sum of modifier bit logic. You don't specify each state with plus signs, and every example I've shown should demonstrate that clearly I hope?

As for the imgStates line, I did indeed misinterpret it, but I only put the plus signs after the defaults (without the plus signs) gave me the same result.

As for the layout, hahaha, yes. Every layer past shift is just a copy and paste of the default Colemak layout, as I haven't gotten around to finishing the others. It's a staggered-keyboard version of BEAKL-27, an evolution of the slightly more well-known BEAKL-15 layout.
