does it make sense to add the requested action to this?
I'm not clear on which way you mean "does it make sense to add the requested action to this?"? Do you mean should I add your software functionality to my request, or do you mean should you add my request to your software. Sorry, but I'm not clear.
I watched your YouTube and your software looks very good. I think my Mantis Feature Requests are much simpler. Essentially they are two things:
- migrate the Utility sub-menu Yorik put in the Architecture workbench to the other workbenches as a point of utility and customisation
- migrate the "Select Children" option from the Utility menu in the Architecture workbench to the other workbenches and also extend it or add an option to select all the children of the selected object (the current version only selects the children at the next lower level)
I'm not a developer for FreeCAD internals and so can not say, but I do wonder if we move the Utility menu to all the workbenches, will we will be able to use Macros there? Maybe their runtime would be slightly different and so there would have to be 2 flavours of Macros, or rather a switch at the top of the Macro file saying that the file was to execute in the right-click menu environment. And then again, if there was a system variable to check the same code could maybe run in both environments (i.e. regular Macro environment as we know it now, and within the right-click menu environment) based on the value of that system variable. These are just some of my ideas, as I said I don't develop this type of code and so can't say any thing authoritative, only speculative.
