Release of 0.18

[yorik]

on my qt4 version it displays the same problem as Normand. But on qt5 apparently everything is fine for everybody, so probably not worth putting much effort into this...

I think it's been mentioned here somewhere in this 28-page long topic, but I really, really miss the old Qt 4 color picker!!!

In Qt 5, its usability has considerably plummeted.

Do you think there's any way to get the original color picker back?

Time to update these, guys!

src/Main/MainCmd.cpp

Code: Select all

const char sBanner[] = "(c) Juergen Riegel, Werner Mayer, Yorik van Havre 2001-2018\n"\

src/Main/MainGui.cpp

Code: Select all

const char sBanner[] = "\xc2\xa9 Juergen Riegel, Werner Mayer, Yorik van Havre 2001-2018\n"\

src/Main/FreeCADGuiPy.cpp

Code: Select all

 App::Application::Config()["CopyrightInfo"] = "\xc2\xa9 Juergen Riegel, Werner Mayer, Yorik van Havre 2001-2018\n";

Just stumbled upon this: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcolordialog.html#details

Why doesn't the color chooser in FreeCAD look like the one in the Qt5 doc, which looks identical to what FreeCAD/Qt4 has?

One thing is crystal clear, @NormandC is at the verge of doing his first PR and becoming a full-fledged FreeCAD developer...

Personally I would vote for changing this text to something like this:

Thanks Werner! I didn't know the stripped down color chooser was the native one rather than the Qt one... Considering I'm using GNOME Shell, I should have known better

Funny, but that won't happen anytime soon as long as there is no clear "Making PRs for dummies" step-by-step summary. The topic about it is too damn long and confusing for someone who still struggles with Git like me.

@Yorik

Friendly reminder, there have been a few modified and some new text strings (in Part wb) added in the past week, so they'll have to be uploaded to Crowdin then translated. I think text strings should not change anymore, what will be missing are of course the FEM menu entries in Crowdin, unless you find the solution...

Thanks!

Over the Holidays I proofread the French translations for Part, PartDesign and Sketcher, I left just a few strings I was not sure about. Didn't have time for other workbenches, I must admit I'd have no clue for Path and FEM.

[yorik]

Ok, doing a crowdin upload/download cycle now
