| Summary | 0003131: fix export format in options | ||||
| Description | Hello team Lot of small things to do to ease life of Freecad users ;-) It is perfect to have 20 exports methods available. But nobody on earth will ever use them simultaneously. Freecad is somewhere in a fixed chain of operations. So please, let me fix one time for all the default export extension AND ALSO suggest a default filename based on the FCStd file in use. You don't have to tweak the Pref dialog box (translations work), just blindly record the last export method choice and re-select it as default. Even better, add an entry under the "File menu" -export ... -export pdf (pretty useless) -export to 'myfile.XYZ' (yes !) Thank you Franck | ||||

@Franck78 Please open a thread on the forum, especially since you are using the stable 0.16 which is lightyears behind 0.17dev. Please also link forum thread to this ticket and vice-a-versa so we can track the progress. Thank you. |

Hello Kunda1, ok, I gave a try to 0.17, built ~ 30 july. Nothing as changed. no file name suggested for export. no smart 'extension' management (remembering last type used). Just say you want to export your object to xxx.STL, allways and only STL and see the number of useless keyboard interactions needed. And also, this export/output file never requires an overwrite confirmation. It is not the working file. It is a result. The all thing can be done with a single entry in File menu. |

@Franck78 like I mentioned in 0003131:0009785 please open a forum thread and talk to the community. |

The failure to correctly re-select the previously-selected filter on some operating systems was a bug in the save dialog code. That is fixed, and an implementation of a default filename for the export is added, by PR 4164. |

This PR was merged today, so as of commit 48fca8c2b this feature request is completed. |

Add default filename for exports When exporting a single file, the filename defaults to the current FCStd name plus a dash and the name of the object. If multiple objects are selected, the default is the basename of the FCStd file. No extension is added. This behavior is controllable via two hidden preferences, BaseApp/Preferences/General/ExportDefaultFilenameSingle BaseApp/Preferences/General/ExportDefaultFilenameMultiple _Allow regeneration of default on new exports_ If an export has been done and it used the default filename, on the next export regenerate the filename (potentially updating the selected object name in that filename) instead of just defaulting to the last name. _Search for extension in chosen filter first_ Originally the file dialog simply searched for the first available extension in the overall filter list. This commit modifies it to first check the selected extension, and only if that is empty to search the full filter list. This section of code only runs if a default filename is set but does not have an extension ("suffix" in Qt's terms). |
