Re: My Tapeworm-thread of observed FreeCAD bugs

ad Qt6: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-for-python-6-released I wonder if FreeCAD should package it's own Python though. Sure, would bloat things more up and compiletime yadda, but Python seems to have become such an integral part of the program, that it might have stability benefits not to rely on the OS...

Re: My Tapeworm-thread of observed FreeCAD bugs

I need to interject, that - given all pros and cons - FreeCAD is great. The amount of functionality can be overwhelming sometimes, and the stability leaves (at least for my bleeding edge installation) much to be desired. But when it works, it's quite impressive. ---- From the install_manifest.txt /u...

Re: My Tapeworm-thread of observed FreeCAD bugs

FreeCAD 0.19, Libs: 0.19R23266 (Git) Please post your full About info (as we ask in the forum guidelines) Not sure if wmayer has ported any code to py3.9 And that's why "we" (as in: pluralis majestatis) have this incremental thread. Fans of this thread - if they really were interested des...

Re: My Tapeworm-thread of observed FreeCAD bugs

FreeCAD 0.19, Libs: 0.19R23266 (Git) experienced crashes like every 15 minutes today - it's somewhat frustrating. On the other hand I do believe most/all of them can be attributed to some Python 3.9 bork-up. These crashes occur frequently and during various operations (moving walls, scaling polyline...

Re: UI HiDPI configuration (once and for all)

Important in your opinion. ;) 8-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWdd6_ZxX8c I see you're a "The Dude"-fan. So that's how one gets 2k+ writeups. ;) ---- I would consider the font size of the UI of an app more important than any derived font size. And especially for FreeCAD - given that i...

Re: UI HiDPI configuration (once and for all)

Now when I call FreeCAD without the scaling by ENV-variable, all icons are of correct size, but the font remains large (too large). So let's see if I can bring that to normal size too... Turns out I can, but it's counter-intuitive. During research I stumbled across https://forum.freecadweb.org/view...

Re: UI HiDPI configuration (once and for all)

Well, I may be lacking deeper insight how FreeCAD uses Qt, but let's poke into it with my superficial knowledge: src/Gui/Application.cpp // Automatic scaling for legacy apps (disable once all parts of GUI are aware of HiDpi) #if QT_VERSION >= 0x050600 ParameterGrp::handle hDPI = App::GetApplication(...

Re: UI HiDPI configuration (once and for all)

I don't think it's my system that's wrong. What we know so far: Have configured the XServer to consider the correct physical screen size, server acknowledges on startup the correct dpi (282) xdpyinfo still lies about the dpi (telling it's 96dpi) Thanks to the windowmanager I have set the DPI for fon...

Re: UI HiDPI configuration (once and for all)

*sigh* the "for free" joker card is getting tiresome. Of course! But then you should not play the Lenovo card, especially not when you have better cards. And you should not pollute this thread with polemic interjections - especially if they do not contribute to the problem at hand. My com...
