please report this to the geodata author. But yes, this should not stop freecad from launching...

Problem reported to @microelly in https://github.com/microelly2/geodata/i ... -453493790

I tried opening this version today and found all the file preview images are missing. It's just a "?" in place of the file preview. I'm obviously a FreeCAD newb, so forgive me if this is already reported or addressed elsewhere.

This is what I see:


using latest Conda Appimage

I also see this with FreeCAD_0.18.15609_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64 and bernd has also report it before https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 40#p275570 , seems to be an issue with the qt5/py3 builds on windows... Questions is do we know why is it happening? If yes, can we fix it or is it out of our hands (ex related to qt5)?

regarding the start-worbench problem on windows:
I am not sure if this is a problem with paths or with qt. I remeber having a build on windows with conda-deps where the start-page looked ok. This was a build where I didn't call "cmake install" -> kind of development build with kdevelop.

If I right click on one of the image and chose "Copy Image Address" I get a correct path, but I don't know if it is possible to somehow check/show what is the exact html code that is generated and displayed for the start page so that one could be able to investigate the problem closer.

Code: Select all

import StartPage
StartPage.StartPage.exportTestFile()

But there is the chance different browser handle mixed path-separators different.

the export of the start page works with FreeCAD_0.18.15396_x64_dev_win
with FreeCAD_0.18.15609_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64 I get

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\saso\Desktop\FreeCAD_0.18.15609_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64\Mod\Start\StartPage\StartPage.py", line 491, in exportTestFile
    f.write(handle())

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 11193-11195: character maps to <undefined>

Update: ok I got the export working and I see no difference in the generated html code (I did a diff compare on the two files)

[saso]

So, if I edit the generated html page and add "file:///" in front of the image src paths then they show up

Hi
I have modified the <img src> tags in the StartPage.py and added the uri file encoding (file:/// ...) . This works fine both on py2/qt4 and py3/qt5 Win x64 builds, but only when the absolut path is present. Unfortunately this doesn't work with relativ paths, so some of the images are still missing.

StartPage.py

Modified with URI encoding for <img src> tags

I belive the issue is related to the embedded Webbrowser used for displaying the start page.

Kind regards

@RogerK, thanks for the updated Startpage.py to test, I had to make a mod (using relative path) to enable the Create New.. icon to load correctly and everything on the Start Page > Documents tab works as expected. I've the four icons in Help tab > Documentation still not showing correctly but I'm sure it's a similar change to fix.

I went back and forth with the default program associations between IE11 and Google Chrome in order to get what I want which is probably way different to the regular user. Please see screenshots for the two programs below.
