Re: Proofreaders of projects on the Crowdin platform

I've given @FBXL5 proofreader permissions on FreeCAD-Addons. And the addons permissions are separate because addon developers have advanced permissions at Addons that they don't have in the primary FreeCAD CrowdIn repo.

Re: Seeking guidance on how to remove all internet I/O from FreeCAD

If you compile without Start, Web, and Addon Manager, you should then be able to verify that nothing else attempts any network access. No coding is necessary, you just need to set up cMake. I am removing network access from Start, and plan to drop Web entirely, though it will probably be a couple of...

Windows SpaceMouse users needed

3Dconnexion has submitted a patch to our repo that improves SpaceMouse support on Windows and I'm looking for some testers. You need to be able to compile on Windows in order to do this. If you can, please pull the patch from this PR:

Thanks!

Re: [GSoC 2024] - Command-Line Preferences Manipulation

As an example: search the code for "CustomMaterialsDir" -- you will find that there is no explicit "Set" method for this configuration entry. If the user never opens the Materials preferences dialog, it is never set. The call that accesses it, param->GetASCII("CustomMaterial...

Re: [GSoC 2024] - Command-Line Preferences Manipulation

The Preference Pack templates are hand-generated default value lists for the variable that I thought most likely to be included in Preference Packs. I basically generated them by looking in the code itself for calls to GetParameterGroupByPath and reading the code that accesses the variable that call...

Re: Git clone errors

Doing a full clone to check a PR is definitely overkill. The easiest thing to do is clone the main FreeCAD repo once, and then:

Code: Select all

git fetch origin pull/12345/head:pr12345
git checkout pr12345
Note that if the PR changes you will have to delete that local branch and fetch again.

Re: Loading the file XXXYYY is not supported

Is the extension on that file really FCS and not FCStd? Is this Win7? Which version of FreeCAD?

Re: [GSoC 2024] - Command-Line Preferences Manipulation

The Preference Pack Templates are the default values of a limited subset of available options. There is no global database, preferences can be created “on the fly”
at any time.

Re: [Solved] Addon Manager - No successful update run

I should point out that while my earlier post was about the 0.21.x release series, that fix I linked to was a backport of a fix originally applied to the main branch, just a few weeks ago. So this bug would have affected dev builds until quite recently.
