Thanks for reporting. I patched this part to replace it with an abstraction layer:

Can you re-roll an new appimage then ?

should be done already:

So where is the link to the new AppImage ? The link above is just the patch.

In view of the time it's going to take to build a clean master a recent AppImage would be most useful.

thx.

It was already updated, but the build-number stayed the same.

Well what is the point of build numbers if they do not uniquely identify a build ?

I still don't see a link to any AppImage here, can you clarify what we are talking about?

thx.

A build-number is a "build"-number. If you want another number for the bundle no one is preventing you from adding a PR here:

But I cannot post the full link here as the build number might change today.

It's a little confusing, I must admit, the way we use appimages. It's not a standard method (see for example: https://github.com/antony-jr/AppImageUpdater/issues/17) and it creates some complexity.

In this issue @looo tweaked the appimage configs (FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Appimage) and nothing in master, so the fix wouldn't register as a new revision number. It's necessary to download what looks like the same appimage again, but it isn't. So, I guess people would be waiting for a fix to come down the pipe (a new commit addressing the issue like the one that I've created this thread for) and not see it, even though the problem has been fixed invisibly.

tl;dr
Download the AppImage again (even if it's the same revision number)

thanks for the link looooo, that's what I needed.

thanks Kunda, I think the confusion was that it's the same FreeCAD build but a different build of the AppImage. Double use of the same term for different things led to the confusion. Thanks for clarification.
