Package: freecad Version: 0.17+dfsg1-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
the FreeCAD version in unstable uses the native file dialog from gnome, which is nice, but ... 1. has problems with case-sensitive file suffixes. E.g. FreeCAD saves files as .fcstd (and did so in 0.16 all in lower case) when you browse your directories it won't find these files anymore, since the file dialog expects FreeCAD file to end in .FCStd Same goes for other file type like .stl vs. STL and so on. 2. it does not add any suffixes when saving files. E.g. you save your project as "project" with the file format FreeCAD it won't append .FCStd (or .fcstd for that matter) and then won't find the file when searching for it next time. For worse if you append the suffix yourself and get it wrong (see 1.) it won't find the file either. The only way to open these files is to show "all files *.*" in the dialog. in src/Gui/FileDialog.cpp there are some defines to switch code between native dialog and own dialog. It seems to me that all file name and suffix handling is ignored when using the native dialog. I tried to compile with -DFREECAD_USE_QT_FILEDIALOG=OFF in debian/rules but that won't bring the QTFileDialog back. Maybe a bigger fix is needed. In this state the FreeCAD package not really useable. It will drive users crazy :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages freecad depends on: ii freecad-common 0.17+dfsg1-5 ii freecad-python2 0.17+dfsg1-5+b1 ii freecad-runtime 0.17+dfsg1-5 ii libfreecad-python2-0.17 0.17+dfsg1-5+b1 Versions of packages freecad recommends: ii calculix-ccx 2.11-1+b3 ii graphviz 2.40.1-5+b2 Versions of packages freecad suggests: pn freecad-doc <none> pn povray <none> ii python-collada 0.4-3 -- no debconf information
