Most likely this is the Snap's sandboxing behaviour. You have access to your home directory but not system-wide ones. There is likely a /tmp within the sandbox environment but it's not where you are expecting it.

easyw-fc You have a problem because someone using FreeCAD in flatpak format might also be using KiCad in flatpak format. The resources contained in one flatpak wouldn't be available in the other. One possibility that might help you is that KiCad as a flatpak is composed of a number of extension pac...

I can't speak for Snap but I use Flatpak extensively (fedora Silverblue). flatpaks are isolated from the underlying operating system. /usr is present in the flatpak environment but it is provided by so-called runtimes and SDKs.

Hi,

I'm following FreeCAD snapshots from the Daily PPA. Updates have been sporadic recently. Is this due to an impending stable release or build problems?

There's nothing wrong with using sketches entirely for modelling but the PartDesign workbench supports that paradigm better than the Part workbench. The issue with making changes to previous features in the tree, or sketches which create them, is that you need to ensure that your changes don't break...

Hi, I noticed a recent commit which added labels to the Credits tab of the About dialog viz. People and Firms . Might I suggest that a more universal labelling might be Individuals and Organisations respectively. The reasoning for this being that "Firms" and "Organisations" are c...
