Update App Downloads Wrong Platform
From the preferences app menu, FC downloaded the wrong version for my system. Wrong Download: FreeCAD_weekly-builds-35327-2023-12-10-conda-Linux-aarch64-py310.AppImage Of course that wouldn't launch on my Ubuntu install. I successfully download manually. Where does the AppImage download in preferenc...

Re: General Advice
What does your part look like ?
Is it possibly easier to just create it the 'FreeCAD way' ?

Open the Directory of a Recent File from StartPage
I use the Recent Files thumbnails often. However, its not just the specific file, but the 'Project' that is in my 'recent context'. Assuming you have a few files in a subdirectory and that subdirectory is the Project, here is a quick way to get there. The top menubar File function is a top down navi...

Re: Open Directory Function
Thank you Syres, that got me going again. Did it like this.
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QFileDialog
filename = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(None,"Open Project File",s1,"*.FCStd")

Open Directory Function
Is there a function to open a directory so the user can select a file in that directory ? I could use FreeCAD.openDocument( directory_path) without filename however it seems to not accept a pathname without file name at the end of the path. I also tried " *.* " wild card which would be OK....

Re: Start Page Context Menu
Thanks Carlo, I had not thought about the default browser activation. My Ubuntu 23.04 install will launch Firefox automatically as the "System Browser" if I choose an html file. I know where that is set up. But this context menu item did not do that. Maybe by default browser you mean the f...

Start Page Context Menu
In the Start page I right clicked a recent file thumbnail. I got the context menu image shown below. - Open in External Browser -- Seems to do nothing on my system - Open in new window -- Displays a python program/macro in the main display area, looks like it gets MRU (most recently used?) file list...

Re: Balloon with border fills with all black
I see what you mean, the balloon frame is somewhat irrelevant. Without the frame the balloon text is visible in the pdf, but the double or bold lines of the template are still there. I also tried a different page template, same. Probably not a techdraw issue since my system 'print to pdf' works prop...

Re: Balloon with border fills with all black
One more thing. If I print using the Ubuntu System 'Print to pdf' rather than FC Export PDF then the balloon prints OK.

Re: Balloon with border fills with all black
Wandererfan Sorry, I messed up my description of this problem. It is in an Exported pdf where the balloon fills with black. If I print normally the print is fine. So if it is an issue, maybe it is in the PDF generation. Or maybe I need more coffee. So, two files attached, the FCStd and the pdf. rich
