How to make the file tab to remember the WB used

As this question came up twice in the past couple of months i actually went ahead and implemented a small module (made a prototype earlier today), but now i see that @openBrain beat me to it with a macro.

Better luck next time i guess.

Anyway, better to have two solutions compared to one. Tomorrow i will clean up the prototype and publish it. Would do that today but can't come up with a reasonable module name.

Absolutely right, I think it should be integrated into FreeCAD.

This is a great macro.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Welcome. I opened a dedicated thread in the Python section so feedback & updates are easier to manage.

I think it's possible because it won't create a big overhead in the code. Let's ask who knows :

@wmayer : where do you think it would be better integrated in the mainline code ? As a mod ? Or directly somewhere like MainWindow.cpp ? Thx for insight.

I think the best would be to put it to the FreeCAD-addons repo.

The question was more about porting the feature into the "core" code (probably in C++).

Do you think it's not worth having this as a native feature (optionally enabled) ?

RemBench just got added to the Add-on Manager, and it works well on my side.

Once installed and FC restarted, just activate or de-activate it from the "Accessories" menu bar.

Thanks for that !
