Re: Back port commits to 0.19 branch

Should we include that support in 0.19.3? I think we would need also the solution that covered the STEP colors regression...

Re: FreeCAD and KiCAD on Ubuntu 20.04

It should work also installing FreeCAD from PPA as it also uses OCCT 7.5, but this solution would still break any other software from the official repo using OCC. True but fortunately there are not so many packages that depend on OCCT. it should be nice to have also kicad AppImage officially suppor...

Re: STEP Export/Import colors override (?)

Or replace transparency with alpha. OK, i stop. I am way too picky. I wouldn't suggest so... IMO Transparency is a long established value in Combo view for shapes... changing this would change the user's habit Assigning instead the Transparent 0-100% to faces in the set color view would be a new mo...

Re: STEP Export/Import colors override (?)

the values differs (0-100 vs. 0-255). Is this because it uses different functions (coin vs. Qt)? Basically, yes: the color selection dialog is a built-in Qt dialog, so uses Qt's normal 0-255 range for all color channels. That's a little annoying/awkward for a non-programmer, so most other places we...

Re: STEP Export/Import colors override (?)

Did I get the scaling wrong, or are you just commenting about the difference in "units" between the Qt color dialog and the output into the STEP file? In FreeCAD when you apply Transparency to a Shape, through the Combo View, the value goes between 0 and 100 Combo-view.png - In the FreeCA...

Re: STEP Export/Import colors override (?)

May as well add the last bit, I suppose! Please have a look at PR 5106 . @chennes I can confirm after aligning the previous commit, it is working correctly. There is a small discrepancy in the behaviour because the Object Transparency is expressed in 0-100 where Alpha-channel is instead in 0-255 An...
