You are correct. Once the tooltable has been opened in 0.19 it converts the tooltable to allow the use of multiple tables.

It will then no longer work with older versions.

Maybe we could show a warning to let users make a backup of the tooltable?

Thanks,

Hi Dan, what's the benefit to change things where the user is familiar with? The issue is: one click more to get the OP... ;) It should be possible to merge the operations together so the code manages the choice between faces and edges depending on the users selection, like many other tools. IMO it...

Be aware that there is a bug in the 18.x tool table that prevented tools being saved. That was fixed here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/comm ... 33b97ed8aa Is it hard to back port this to 0.18? I added the commit to the 0.18 backport thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3...

I have provided specific output on all these issues and have yet to see anything more relevant than "did you read the guide?". I do apologise, following the instructions on the wiki and using cmake-gui to check all the settings I haven't faced any issues. You could always ask in the install / compi...

...Googling the errors seemed to indicate qttools et al but already have those installed. Any ideas on what is missing?

Compiling requires you to install many dependencies, not only one qttools package. See again CompileOnUnix.

Have you followed the instructions on the wiki?

I just went back to attempt a py3/qt4 build cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 ../freecad-source It finds py3 -- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python3 (found version "3.7.4") but later in cmake I spotted this: -- Checking for module 'Coin' -- Package 'Coin', required by 'virtual:world', not ...

I did include my FC info yesterday, with current master I now have this: OS: Linux (LXDE/LXDE) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.19.18445 (Git) Build type: Unknown Branch: master Hash: 7157a4ac4d87e689f0fe4d5b576105aa9828ba75 Python version: 2.7.16 Qt version: 4.8.7 Co...

OK, with a totally clean build of master and deleting .cfg files I avoid the unicode error. This does seem related to whatever messes up the content of those files. Have you built a PY3 version? Can you share your FreeCAD information? Have there been recent changes to this code ? If so what build n...
