Yes it does, it's not restricted to my own builds, could be a qt bug but that's only a gut feeling...

Sorry, I had misread your FreeCAD info (got the 18xxx from the revision number as the version :oops:). To get more information you can start from console, or write a log file with additional parameter -l (small letter L).

You mean the commandline parameter? No, they are available on all systems.

No I mean the stalling ;-) I only noticed since I had a pretty large file and grabbed a coffee after double clicking and the splash still showing a message about file topology version, with normal smaller files you wont notice it, if its mac specific its probably a qt issue if its on other platforms its freecad itself

I have seen something similar on windows: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=40302.

I have never used opening FreeCAD files by doubleclick before. So did it right now for the first time. I had to select the FreeCAD application and it worked with a reasonably small file of 600kB.
I wanted to try with a bigger file, but since then it never worked again to open any file, not even the previous one.

Opening with the open command from console yields for a file different from the previously opened:

Code: Select all

cb$ open /tmp/4_5.FCStd
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /tmp/4_5.FCStd.
cb$ 
And for the previously opened file it yields nothing on console and does nothing.

Code: Select all

cb$ open /tmp/8_10.FCStd 
cb$ 
I will return to opening FreeCAD alone and load the file later.

Moved to Install/Compile forum. Help forum would have been an option as well, but Developer, was definitely wrong. You post there if you are developing yourself.

Maybe change the forum name to Install/Compile/Bugreports?
This isnt the first time I post wrong 😅
