I would love to continue the code debate but I'm afraid we're parting ways for good. Perhaps in the future at different premises.
I'm about to be banned as I won't back down. So be it.
There are few people that has a decent vision of the whole FC mechanics. One of them is @wmayer, the other is @realthunder, and probably few others as there are not so many FC forks around. Many discourse but few coding as jurgen regel was used to say. That's precisely where I'm going. Refactoring ...
Just dropping an observation because I sense where this thread is going. Development by committee slowdowns the project and might bring it to a standstill, it kills enthusiasm, fetches frustration, and force tip-toeing because of muh other's feelings may be hurt. This is highly undesirable if the go...
How does one create an environment to achieve modernisation of a seriously legacy codebase? What do you think? The only realistic solution: dismantle the cpp code piece by piece in order to re-shuffle its functionality and rewrite it in an almost as fast as C and fool proof language ---> Rust. Even...
I can only say what a headache...I was thinking it was going to be an easy fix . Given that you are already running Ubuntu, you may have a chance to get an easy solution if you install the Dolphin file manager, then build and install the thumbnailer as described. As Ubuntu has sometimes different l...
HELP NEEDED I made the move from windows 11 to ubuntu 22.04. Installed supplied version of Freecad from snap, upon saving files and opening all my previous files shows Zip .icon instead of freecad icon and thumbnail. New to Linux and if there is a solution it would be grealty appreciated. If I unde...
A container, is useful, if you want to have a decent tree, without a bunch of elements. Folders is the answer. It depends on what is your workflow, but if a container could be meant as a subassembly, it has a sense. A FCStd file is per se the container, the only thing currently missing is to make t...
Having a default assembly, the workflow might change from having several bodies in the same file and linked bodies from external files, to fully linked whole external files , the difference is not minor... Not sure if I completely understand what you are getting at, but you can link to whole extern...
After reading the different opinions, I tell myself that it would first be necessary to make one of the assembly containers, Part or the RT container, compatible with the needs of the different Assemblies WB, i.e. say that it meets all of everyone's needs. If I understand well the architecture desi...
some bend radius has to be changed -, where changes should be propagated to all assemblies using such a part, and on the other side we want to allow individual changes. This deformable part is usually placed (sort of dropped) into the library, so there is a centralized location from where the part ...
