Hiding Jobs / Ops
I thought I remembered being able hide (toggle visibility) jobs and operations in the past with a press of the spacebar. This doesnt seem to work anymore.
Is that by design?
Thanks,
Dan

Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
You have to hide the job and the operation.

Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
also there seams to be an annoying "feature" that makes the paths visible again when the base object gets updated.
it would also be nice if hiding the job hid everything, like hideing the body in the part design workbench.

I would like that behaviour too. For me the Job is like a container holding all the tool controllers and operations to perform a job at the mill.

Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
Agreed. I was expecting the same behaviour as other FreeCAD elements. I.e.
Toggling the visibility if an individual element should hide or unhide that element.
Toggling the visibility of a parent should hide or unhide all its children.
This would make the path workflow a fair but smoother imo.
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, this has been a PATH - "USABILITY" weakness for me, for a long time; lacking propagation of behavior.dubstar-04 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 11:22 am Agreed. I was expecting the same behaviour as other FreeCAD elements. I.e.

This is a PITA!
I have asked in the past to no avail; so I just give up. More people need to chime in and show support for ideas in general; instead of not questioning the supreme overseers; not making waves sort of thing. Sort of like when people were reluctant to merge realTs path.area code; now, look what goodness that guy has bestowed on freecad and they are still reluctant to merge his LINK code. Guess, it is just fear, lack of comprehension, sometimes and the feeling of loss of control.

Here you are taking out too big a hammer, especially for the Path forum.

Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
Besides the general tone of complaining, this really makes me angry, especially the part about 'supreme overseers'. Can you point to some PRs that have been rejected? Can you point to ANY? I can think of only one case where I pushed back because I didn't think the code quality was good enough and I was more than willing to help the dev improve it.bill wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 12:46 pm

If you want to see something fixed, by all means, fix it! But don't complain that someone isn't giving you what you want and it's because they're 'supreme overseers'. That's BS.
Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
You are probably correct hchris!
Equivalent: code it yourself.
That comment is the single most destructive "clever" saying on the board; Ive never seen it on any other open software project ever!
You obviously dont realize how many contributors toes one walks on when it is used (sometimes too frequent and flagrantly (see: that cat guy) ).
Ive done my 35 years of coding; now I deprecated myself to being just a plain old regular user (and am enjoying the fruits now instead of growing them). Just wish in my last 10 years of coding I could have dug into FC and coded-it-myself.

Re: Hiding Jobs / Ops
You're not a plain old regular user. You're a demanding critic sitting in the peanut gallery and complaining that those who are contributing aren't doing it right. I'm glad you're enjoying the fruit though.
