so, I encountered the following behavior: I started SheetCam as usual, added a part and chose a .dxf file and... nothing appeared. The usual dialog asking for the drawing options came but after that, the drawing didn't appear. I'm using the Linux version and I started debugging. I found out that if I remove the .SheetCamTNG-dev directory and start over, the import would work again. I restored the directory from a backup from a week ago (yes, I do have regular backups and so should you!) and tried and that worked as well. I figured out that it's about the .ini file. I started bisecting the .ini file until I came to the conclusion that it's somehow about the "Recent" file stuff.
And then I saw it... in the file open dialog for the part import, there was no file type chosen. The selector was blank. As soon as I set it to DXF, the import would work again. I checked the .ini file and I think the reason is that somehow I ended up with the recent file itself being a DXF file but the Type being a SVG file:
Code: Select all
[RecentFiles/Drawing]
Path=/redacted/Reinforcement.dxf
Type=SVG files (*.svg)
Fixed=0
Also: could we have a newer build for Linux? I saw in the release notes that you fixed the default icon issue on Linux in some later release but then the downloadable release is still older than that.
Thanks, Klaus
