Good point!

Nice work StSt94! I notice we've done a lot of redundant work :D What's left to do in your branch regarding functionality? And are you planning on getting this cleaned up and sent upstream too? I think we should try to simplify the cmake files and remove old legacy code while we're at it. For instan...

Wouldn't it be better to refactor whatever creates those iterables to always use the abc-version? It has been available in the new place since python 3.3 (10 years ago)

When you'll make a PR or when something will be ready to compile, please report here as well Will do! If you have already done work on this, it'd be superb if you could list in this thread the Qt classes used in FreeCAD currently, but dropped in Qt6. That would serve as a good advance warning for o...

Maybe @chennes or another core dev can create a branch in main repo ? I don't know if we really need an official branch for it. There are a lot of changes that needs to be done, but just like freecad used to support both qt4 and qt5 it is possible to support both qt5 and qt6 too. I've started on my...

Regarding Qt6. Has anyone started on it yet? It's a bit annoying that web view doesn't work on macOS with arm64 chipset, bumping qt to version 6 would fix that. It sounds like a nice project to for me tinker with to get back to freecad hacking, so I'm happy to help or I can start with it if no one h...

My personal goto "wire-format" is json (using nlohmann::json for c++), but since the rest of freecad is xml based (some exceptions do exist) would it be better to use xml here too? Reducing used technologies often makes projects easier to maintain and with a project of this size it might b...

As long as we keep it simple I don't see why people would object to a standard (we should of cause make a proposal post and ping people). And as soon as the minimal standard gets implemented in freecad I don't see why addon devs wouldn't want to support it. If addon developers wants to add additiona...

OK, I poked at this a little today. Here's my proposed Metadata class -- the idea is that calling C++ code would just instantiate this class with a file path, and they'd get back a "dictionary" of whatever metadata that file contained. Purely string-based to keep things as simple as possi...

An LTS version of FreeCAD wouldn't help if you update an external workbench and that new version of the workbench doesn't work as expected.
To me, it sounds like a bug in the Curve Workbench if it isn't backwards compatible.
