Re: crash switching work bench

Since SVG support in Qt4 was rather bad we had to use the Webkit engine to render SVG icons correctly under Windows and apparently a segfault happens there. wmayer is it still necessary for us to keep the SVG plugin around? It appears to be the only place left in the code using WebKit, so if that S...

Re: freecadpip not found in freecad 0.21.2 via apt-get install

Code: Select all

git submodule update --init

Re: Issue with forum register

Yes, I see it. I have corrected the email address (yes, there was a typo in it). You should be able to validate that account now, and then we can delete the extra one.

Re: Python string formatting in Console.Print*

For display to the console you may use whichever style you prefer, or find clearer in that particular case. If your text is intended to be translated (that is, it lies within a call to "translate()") then you must use the .format style, translation string extraction does not work with f-st...
