How can I reconfigure the parts_library Macro?

Post by maltMan »

I wasn't able to see hidden directories when I was prompted for my Parts Library directory by the Macro, the first time I ran it, and after clicking "Choose Folder," it exited, and selected my root directory as the directory shown in the browser. I still can't see dotfiles here, so I can't navigate to my library (~/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/parts_library).

How can I reconfigure the macro, i.e., get it to ask me for the parts library directory again? I guess I'll need to type it in since I can't select .local


Thanks,
maltMan

OK, I found it: the button to access the config was right below the Parts Library pane when the macro is run.

Copy the path to your library, and paste it directly into the path field (trying to choose the path, if it has a dotfile, won't work).
