IconThemes

[efyx]

First, please don't double post

Sorry for that. Please admin remove it.

P.S. Note that you can always manually install or remove the IconThemes module.

That helped. FreeCAD is working again.

It was on windows, developement version 0.18 16028(Git) but other versions also stop to work.

Hi @efyx

Good to hear you are able to use FreeCAD again, but i need a bit more info, to understand and try to improve things. Therefore please install the IconThemes module again and remove the demo.rcc file from the Gui/Icons folder.

Does FreeCAD start normally after?

If yes, does the problems start to occur only after you have added demo.rcc file to Gui/Icons folder and have registered it from icon themes preferences?

I've install it by addon menager again and it is broken again. I didn't even had chance to import new icons. I checked also directly copying files from github to that folder C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\IconThemes and it is also making FreeCAD not working.

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you know on how to start FreeCAD from the CMD on Windows? As that should likely provide more clues, like if there is any Python error detected, before the crash occurs. In addition could you open a file named IconThemesGui.py, located in mod/IconThemes folder, and after remove this two lines located at the end of the file (preferably one by one, therefore doing two tests):

Code: Select all

registerOnStart()
setThemeOnStart()

Any changes?

Ok I've done tests you've wanted. Command line doesn't give any feedback (just don't start - splash screen->quit).
The "registerOnStart()" cause that, "setThemeOnStart()" can stay in code. After removing this line everything works again.

Edit: after launch Tools->Accesories->Icon themes does nothing
in Tools->Accesories->Icon themes legacy only shows (?) actuall icons no option to change anything. Only "D" in bottom bar.

Great, i believe we are narrowing it down. If you add the registerOnStart() line back and after manually create this folder:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Gui\Icons

Any changes? As for the rest of your question. Will answer it tomorrow, after hopefully based on your feedback, the original issue can get resolved.

OK. Done. It is starting. I can even run Tools->Accessories->Icon themes, but I had to copy demo.rcc to that created folder to see it on Icon themes menager. I cannot switch to new icons. I marked demo.rcc in "Register a resoruce" field and "Set the icon theme:" marked Demo, then close and nothing happened (even after restart).

So is this Py3 / Qt5 compatible?

I just tried it and got nothing... except for a green dot where the top view icon used to be when creating a new document:

Good to hear that. I suspect there is an additional issue on Windows, as FreeCAD shouldn't have crashed, due to such Python issue, discussion here. And note that yesterday i already added the nedded changes to the IconThemes module, to first check if the path exists.

but I had to copy demo.rcc to that created folder to see it on Icon themes menager.

Yes, that is correct.

I cannot switch to new icons. I marked demo.rcc in "Register a resoruce" field and "Set the icon theme:" marked Demo, then close and nothing happened (even after restart).

Look at the image in answer provided by @Joel_graff. If you get the same result, it's working as expected.

So is this Py3 / Qt5 compatible?

Yes.

Green indicator is what we are after. But fair point, as i guess i could go after a more artful representation. Anyway, what you two are asking for, is on how to do more, for that you need an icon pack. Currently two mayor one exists:

P.S. Both don't provide an icon pack as a binary resource (.rcc) just yet. Therefore to enable them follow the legacy option instructions.
