Addon Manager improvements

[yorik]

Thanks everybody! In git commit caef4b6c6, several fixes:

- Cannot switch tabs anymore while processing
- Applied both of Syres's fixes (file:/// and removing ?raw=true)
- Adds the server part (github.com or anything else) to the image urls if missing

There are still some images missing but apparently animated gifs, which I'm not sure QTextBrowser will support anyway...

I'll now work on supporting the workbench icons, but we need another way to show installed workbenches if we're not using icons for that anymore (maybe color them in green, I'll see if that's possible)

You can put little green thick to corner of the WB icons

In git commit 6259e1eb3 WB icons are now used when available. I tested painting the installed items in green and the updatable items in orange, it works but not the best solution... I find it a bit violent..

@Kunda1 and everybody else, if any of you add new icons, please also update this file: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... anager.qrc

PR 2264 - Added YAML Workspace Addon logo

[yorik]

in git commit 33ce0f3f2 the installed items have been changed from the green background color to use green text... I think it's friendlier on the eyes

Also there is now provision for macro icons, that can be added the same way as workbench icons. They must be named My_Macro_macro_icon.svg, My_Macro being the exact same name as it appears in the Addon Manager, with spaces replaced by _

Is it possible to make an overlay semi-transparent bar that goes across the whole top of the Description window with the text in it ?

I think this has been there since the beginning /furti/FreeCAD-ArchTextures/blob/master ... xtured.png

Ihave problems with only a few WB's now.

Do you have an example? I don't understand.

This is a really strange error. That is the moment when the file is written... It should not matter if it doesn't exist.
We could get rid of that error by putting the operation in a try/except, but better to find the cause...

My gimp skills leave a lot to be desired
The green bar is an overlay, it is semi-transparent and when you scroll the window it stays put but the text scrolls under it. If the user isn't interested in seeing it, they can click the x to the right.

I had a look at the Reinforcement Wb error and noticed that the second image had a much longer URL than the first on the page. I believe the real error is the URL for the 2nd image exceeds the Windows 260 character limit, it's 281.
