@Koemi, and @Turro75,

I've added your first wishes, citing your forum texts, to the A2plus feature wishlist.
https://github.com/kbwbe/A2plus/issues/88

If you disagree with that, please let me know. It'll be removed immediately.

this is working if I switch the WB to A2p before opening the FC file.
If I open it without having loaded A2p WB before, the icons are not displayed.

I get the same result:

iconTest.png (186.88 KiB) Viewed 1558 times

Our resources are loaded in InitGui.py so they are not available until A2p is initialized. Maybe there is a better place to put the Resources?

Some things depend on the existence of topological naming, so that parts' sub-objects are identified reliably across (sub-)assemblies.
@kbwbe: You did successful work on this earlier, is it allowed to read the code? And @wandererfan: You recently also added code related to it. Do you make progress?

Some progress, but very slow still. I've learned how to create a "family tree" for parts and built a structure for "fingerprinting", but I can't do anything with the results yet.

That essentially means: Progress! Keep up your work!
I'm still a python newbie.
With "fingerprinting", do you mean a method to clearly identify and re-identify parts? With what item do you begin to make it clearly named for 3D? Point0, axes, nearest faces, or such? For me it remains really interesting, as and although I don't understand all underlying math.

Hi Guy's !
Master-branch has been merged with devel.
The only thing missing is the release tag V0.1
Please test finally.

If the only issue is "alien green standard icons" in some cases, this will be stuff for the next bugfix version.

Please vote for:
- Go to first "official" release !
- Please wait !

Hi to all devs! Very nice team work!
BTW I cannot display the icons of the constraints...
what I get is similar to the @Turro75 image I'm attaching
Thanks in advance

Hi Maurice,
i changed the iconpath for the viewproviders (devel branch). With doing fresh assemblies, the problem should be gone.
Please find attached a sample file. It should open on your machine with correct icons.

Hi Klaus,

this works well for me on my linux system.

BTW, can we have the recently changed "print detailed DOF informations to console" as either a WB icon click-able function or an on/off option in-there? IMO, hiding it in the menu is not really useful for me.

Regards,
Manuel

Hi Klaus,

regarding the above: My Second Point: Can you please reinstate something usable?

Many Thanks!

I notice a need of FC to recompute after one or two A2plus operations. (Top icon shows it and tree view icons with check markers.)
Can't identify clearly, so far.
Maybe only a one-liner needed (e.g. to recompute each time upon part addition).

@kbwbe:
Hi Klaus,
please just don't feel any time pressure!
Like @Turro75 said yesterday or so,
"it's ready, when it's ready." Period.
I like him for this expression!
