IDCategoryTask TypeSeveritySummary  descStatusProgress
 238 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow Files given on command line don't open Closed
100%
Task Description

Files given on command line don’t open if paths are relative (CWD problem)

 2225 QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery Low Filenames containing an ampersand do not render correct ...Closed
100%
Task Description

If a file is opened whose filename contains an ampersand, the filename will be rendered correctly in the application titlebar, but the tab bar and the Window menu will not display the ampersand.

If, however, the ‘alt’ key is pressed, the ampersand will result in an underscore appearing beneath the character immediately following it in the filename string. This applies both to the titlebar and the Window menu.

Interestingly, this can be “exploited” by a user to quickly switch between tabs by pressing ‘alt’ and the character which follows the ampersand simultaneously. Likewise, a user can swap between windows using the Window menu in a similar fashion, by first pressing Alt+W, then Alt and the same key as before.

The expected result is that the ampersand is rendered, the underscore is not rendered, and the ‘alt’ key shortcuts don’t work.

It would appear that this is a simple case of failing to properly escape the ampersand in filenames before passing the filename string to various Qt methods.

 2424 QCAD (main)Bug ReportLow File/Folder selection dialogs are broken under KDE Closed
100%
Task Description

I run KDE Plasma (KWin window manager) on Gentoo Linux.

I have tested with several different builds of QCAD 3.27.8:

If I use Open, Save As, and anything else that selects a file or a folder, the dialog does not show any contents, and the terminal prints an error:

Warning:  couldn't create slave: "Unknown protocol 'file'."

Some of the dialogs behave better by deselecting:
Application Prefs > File: Open/Save > File Dialog > Use system file dialog

So, looking through the code, I noticed that there is already KDE-specific handling to avoid using the system dialog, but it has probably been broken since switching to QT5, because Q_WS_X11 (and all other Q_WS_* global macros) no longer exist with QT5+.

I’ve attached a patch that fixes the usage of that macro. With that patch, in my portage-built Community Edition build, I no longer have to deselect “Use system file dialog”.

But, there are at least two places that do not respect the DontUseNativeDialogs setting:

  • Application Prefs > File > Templates > Template Folders > Add
  • Application Prefs > Widgets > Library Browser > Library Sources > Add...

I found the scripts source for the Library Browser PreferencesPage.ui, but I couldn’t find the same for the Templates selection, probably because that is a Pro-only feature (right?).

For the LibraryBrowser, here is the appropriate sections of code:

So, somehow this line needs to change to use the DontUseNativeDialogs setting, but I’m not sure how to do that (I don’t have much experience with QT development).

var dir = QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(this, fileDlgTitle);

Assuming that Template Folders preference also uses the DirectoryList widget, fixing this should fix that pref pane as well.

 234 QCAD (main)Bug ReportHigh File completely erased/corrupted; then duplicates upon  ...Closed
100%
Task Description

I have been working with a file in 2.2 which I then opened with beta 3. All seemed to be well for a couple of days. Today the application closed itself. When I restarted and tried to load the file it came up duplicated. One tab showed nothing, the other showed my drawing with blue lines and the tab headers (file name) were identical except that the ‘blue line’ tab had an asterisk after the file name indicating that the file had been changed. Highlighting a ‘blue line’ element showed the properties with colour white.

I’m running 64bit Ubuntu 11.04. ‘Blue line’ file attached. Any quick way to change the blue lines to default white?

Task Description

Opens an Autocad .dwg file happily (Pro version x64). Allows you to make changes, when you go to save (or save as), you get the “Invalid symbol table name”.

It should figure this out when file is opened and squawk immediately.

Would be extremely useful to get some additional error details that might allow one to diagnose and fix the problem. i.e. “Invalid symbol table name: _” with the name of the offender.

I tried removing unused blocks, no joy.

100%
Task Description

Hi,

I have purchased QCAD Pro (3.25.2), the minimum the software can save is R18 when i set at Application Preferences - File - Open/Save.

When i make my drawing and wanted to save to R15, there is notification,

The file format version you are using is not recommended: “R15 [2000/LT2000]
DXF drawing [OpenDesign] (*.dxf)”.
Custom properties will not be saved.
All black entities and layers will be saved as white.
All custom colors will be adjusted to the nearest fixed color. Proceed?

I need to save to R15 as my cutting software can only detect R15 drawing at max.

When i save to R15,

My drawing will have 1 line that become a huge circle, making my machine cannot cut as per drawn by me.

Can you help me in solving this R15 issue on QCAD 3.25.2 so that it can save to R15 properly.

1974QCAD (main)Bug ReportVery LowFile > Print Preview: Cannot move paper in new drawingUnconfirmed
0%
Task Description

Yesterday I set up a Windows 64 bit install of QCAD Pro which shows the same bug I have been seeing for a while in the Community linux git repo.

Create a new drawing and then go to “Print preview”. Enable “Move paper postion”, the cursor changes to the hand icon, but the paper position is unable to be moved. Only by saving the drawing, exiting the program, restarting and reopening the drawing, will the “Move paper postion” function correctly.

Affected versions tested:

Windows 64bit installer download, as of yesterday.
Linux 64bit build from git, about 20minutes ago.

For what it’s worth, this bug is not present in this previous git checkout:
