Quick question:
what's the reason why the AddonManager doesn't have a .ui file instead of the dialog being generated from the .py file ?

Because it started as a simple macro, so it was easier to have it all embedded in the same file. Now it could become a separate ui file, though...

Oh, I see! Makes sense. kkremitzki was working on a .ui file.. I wonder if I could use that or even borrow the QGIS .ui (and remove a lot of the bells and whistles).
@yorik BTW, thanks for the PR merge!

Hey man, where is that .ui file you were working on for the Addon Installer. Did you attach it to a post somewhere ?kkremitzki wrote:ping

Revisiting this thread.
Addon Manager is getting a lot more attention lately and the FreeCAD-addon repo along with the FreeCAD-macros repo are both growing. Which means the option list is growing. So there may be merit to revisit the idea of augmenting the UI of the addon manager.

We really need to redo it indeed. And integrate a bit more description of the addon (basically we need to fetch the whole readme, I think).
I'll also try to do a little mockup this week...
But the real work is to write and tie the code behind each button and control... In the case of the Addon manager, most of it is there already, but it would still need some work to adapt.

Showing an ui file is easy:
Code: Select all
import FreeCADGui
mydialog = FreeCADGui.PySideUic.loadUi("/path/to/my/dialog.ui")
mydialog.show()
