Status of holding tabs functionality

[Hackscribble]

There is a proposed enhancement on the tracker for implementing holding tabs as a dressup (http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2751).

What does this mean for the current functionality? Is it still worth reporting possible bugs? I've noticed some odd behaviour when trying to create and edit tabs.

I'm writing a dressup for this functionality but development is slow right now.

It's definitely worth pointing out bugs. The dressup will probably re-use some of the UI elements, so any weirdness, or any workflow I'm not testing against (or thinking of) helps iron out the kinks. And thanks for doing that!

Thanks for the reply.

Brief details of the potential bugs below, together with my version details. I haven't found anything like these in the bug tracker, but maybe they are features or they're a user, not software, problem If they are bugs, I'll raise proper, detailed items in the tracker.

a. In an Edge Profile path, the "Add New" and "Delete" buttons below the Holding list box are behind the list box and scroll bar below it. Just visible through the narrow gap between the box and bar, but not usable.

b. In both Face Profile and Edge Profile paths, I can add a first tab to the path by right clicking in the tree and taking the "Add Holding Tag" option. However, when I try to add a second tab on the same path, a blank entry is added to the Holding list box and it's not editable.

c. In a Face Profile path, I can edit the height and length of the tab and this shows up in the view of the part. However, if I hit OK to stop editing the path and then go back in by double clicking on the path in the tree, the values go back to the default values of 4mm and 5mm.

Most of this is easy stuff. My sloppy gui skill.

I have a bugfix branch going now and will roll this in. If you wouldn't mind creating a mantis ticket, it would help.

Thanks.

Thanks for quick turnaround on the fixes!
