| Summary | 0000490: Inbuilt scripts (macros) - better GUI access | ||||
| Description | Hi Guys I know its way too late but I have a feature request for 0.12!!! Can we put some sort of link in the menu or something somewhere in the GUI to give access to the "built in scripts" in the modules? Why: - They are very impressive to a new user It reminds people that the scripts are there Not really a new feature, just advertising the existing feature How: - I'm open to suggestions simple option: - A link to the various scripts directory from the "tools" menu, called something like "inbuilt scripts", or "Python script examples", or "inbuilt macros" or other more involved option: - A new menu, or sub-menu possibly under "tools" menu, with links to each individual script, possibly all using the same (Python?) icon, or even better, but too much for now, different appropriate icons each I thought I would throw this thought out there because I think it would make quite an impact for someone new looking into FreeCAD at first.

There is already such a feature in the Draft workbench (it is there as a test, mainly)... I can add that to the complete workbench, if everybody finds suitable. But I'd rather do that after 0.12. |

Hi Yorik I found that a while ago and I really liked it. But I had actually forgotten about it again. I think it is a generic type feature that should be in -all- work benches. Definitely not just complete and Draft, to me that does not make sense, I mean as it is a generic feature, not a draft feature, in my opinion. This is really a different feature to what I am meaning. On my set up at least, it only shows "my macros". What I think would be good, as early as possible would be perhaps something similar but for ONLY the FreeCAD in-built macros. They are presumably reasonably well written and properly functional? If so then I saw this as more of an advertising of existing functions rather than really a new feature. Also I think that they could make FreeCAD far more immediately impressive for even a modest FreeCAD user and hence make the software far more appealing. Even if we all know that the function has already been there for some time, most users do not. Hence I thought it really should be implemented in 0.12, I mean would make it a far more impressive release. But of course, I'll accept you decision if you think my perspective is out a bit on this matter. Jim |

Yes it could, but I'd really like to enhance a bit the way it is now (allow different icons, integrate with the customize screen, etc...) So it's better to do that with more time |
|
|
OK Yorik, point taken and accepted. :-) Honestly I wish I had thought of this months ago when there might have been time, but so be it. :-) Jim |

Don't worry, 0.12 is almost there now! As soon as J6urgen makes the break, we can start adding new stuff to the trunk... |

I think I'll cancel this item, since the whole world of FreeCAD macros is getting bigger, turning them into a menu would quickly become an insufficient solution, and certainly we need to think to something better (automatic macros download-and-install?). We definitely need to think this better. In the meantime I'll remove the "macros" menu of the Draft module... |
