can we set a default for export?
I only ever export as mesh files, occasionally as something else, but whenever I try to export, it defaults to html. Can we change this? The number of times I forget to pick the correct file type is embarrassing and it defaults to html every single time.

Re: can we set a default for export?
Hi graymalk. I just went back and quickly browsed your posts and I don't think you have once posted your FreeCAD info. See the first post, right under where you clicked to create this thread on how to do that.
The reason I ask is in my version, 3D View (svg) comes up as the default (first in the list) and the only html I see is the export for WebGL file (*.html) and it is the very last one.
No, currently export does not default to last used, or have a setting somewhere. though it would be nice. It's been done in other places and there might even be a Mantis ticket for it, though I haven't looked. If not, I think it would be a reasonable feature request.

Re: can we set a default for export?
The behaviour of the file dialog on Windows is different to that on Linux. The Windows one seems to always default to the last item (at least the way how it's used inside Qt) while that on Linux sets the first item as default. I think we should store the last used item and set it the default the next time.

You want a Mantis ticket on that wmayer, or are you "on it" already?wmayer wrote:The behaviour of the file dialog on Windows is different to that on Linux.

Re: can we set a default for export?
Fixed, as much as the character limit would let me. :p I apologize for constantly forgetting to do that. Now let's see if I can remember to update it as necessary.quick61 wrote:Hi graymalk.

Yes, I was using the Windows version this time. It does indeed default to the last item in the list. It would be cool if it didn't do that. Even if I have to choose mesh the first time and it remembers after, that would be awesome.

I'm always afraid of doing this as a user, because I fear my searching skills will fail me and I'll post a duplicate.wmayer wrote:Gimme five minutes

Thanks! Probably not much help to graymalk at the moment, or at least not until someone makes a dev build for windows. Or 0.15 gets settled. But that will be a little while yet I think. Aren't you all waiting for the next OCE release and maybe Sketcher Ellipse?

Oh I'm starting to think I understand why quick61 put "on it" in quotes.wmayer wrote:Here we go: git commit 4259a93
