Treeview overlay icon
A simple question: I’ve got an overlay icon in the treeview that I don’t recognise, and it’s not listed in https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Tree_view#Overlay_icons.
What does it mean, please?

Re: Treeview overlay icon
No idea. What is your FreCAD info? Could be something from the RealThunders branch...
Re: Treeview overlay icon
It occurs if you set ShowInTree=False. I can document it, if someone explains what it means. Even if set to False In some cases the object is shown in some it is not shown in the tree.

Re: Treeview overlay icon
AFAIK you need to reopen a document to see the effect of changing this property.
Re: Treeview overlay icon
Not really, I see changes, if I do some Boolean operations.

Re: Treeview overlay icon
Can't confirm that.
What does seem to work: toggling "Show hidden items" twice.
I get the idea that few people use this. Maybe it predates the advent of Std_Groups and this was once the only way to 'reduce' the tree?

Re: Treeview overlay icon
I made the following observations:
- create a sketch set ShowInTree=False. The sketch is still visible in tree.
- Extrude. The sketch is still visible.
- Add a Cube, make a Union with the Extrude. The Sketch is no longer visible.
- Remove the Union. Sketch remains hidden.
It would be great, if there was some indicator, that below the Extrude is something hidden.

Re: Treeview overlay icon
Yes, seems to be a bug where display isn't updated when you click "Hide item". Eventually you can raise a ticket.
Indeed, when an item is hidden, having an indicator on parent object would be great.
Re: Treeview overlay icon
That's how it seems. The use case is not very clear to me either, as I can always collapse the tree, but that may well be a limited knowledge of different workflows.
