Customization of workbench list.

Post by PrzemoF »

There is new customization option in Tools->Customize->Workbenches. It allows to pick favourite workbenches and set them in preferred order. The changes are applied to the workbench drop down list and View->Workbench menu.

Hello.

Cool feature ... I like it.

I noticed one thing i do not like ...
Using FreeCAD 0.16.5005 on Windows 7 - 64 bit

> Customized Workbench list - OK
> downloaded and installed microelly2's animation workbench
> animation workbench not in dropdown list :-(
> customizing workbenches > enabling animation workbench and everything is OK

Maybe you can make newly installed workbenches being enabled by default ?

Yes, this works for newly added workbenches. But for removed workbenches it shows an empty entry in the combo box. So, I merged your fix and also fixed the latter problem.

Thanks! I tried to handle that situation in the code, but I never tested what happens after removing a branch.
