Should try probably this evening or tomorrow.

I have installed freecad now also on a old lubuntu laptop (ubuntu 14.1) but get error on installing plugin loader:
"During initialization the error No module named yaml occured in /home/.../freecad.MOD/plugins/initGui.py"
Have i forgot something to install?? and what??

Thanks

Yes you have to install yaml.

I hope this is useful to install the package on mac too.

What exactly is your problem?
You need write access to the Mod directory of your freecad installation
what is the output of the
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro ... staller.py
when you drag-drop-execute it inside the freecad python console?

Oh sorry,
what I wanted:
Open the link in your web browser
select all (ctrl-a)
copy it to the dashboard (ctrl-c)
go to the python console window
paste the dashboard into it (ctrl-v)
wait a minute
restart freecad

Nearly every day I see new macros, new ideas for workbenches.
Users of FreeCAD should get infomation about all these nice things.
The database for the pluginloader grows and will become confused. So I need the opportunity to
simplify. this should be done on individual ways.

How I can individualize the common configuration given by the pluginmanagerconfig.yaml file?

https://youtu.be/88bKd3NRtfQ (I have some troube with my microfon, so the video is voicless, a documentation will follow on my blog next days)

There is now the possibility to add an individual yaml file which reuses the common file or defines a completely new structure.
New individual Tabs and Items can be added.
Tabs and items can be hidden. So everybody can decide what he really needs and can hold the menues and the toolbars smart.
Items can point to macros but also to items of existing workbenches too. So tabs and toolbars can combine functionality from different sources.

The plugin loader now knows the date of the last update and the history of the git.
So the user can see whether he can update.
