Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
As requested by okh, here's a beta of the next version 1.12 of the Furniture Library Editor with a quick description of the updates/bug fixes it brings: - Added the Merge tool to merge the current library with an other one - Fixed a bug that always changed the category of an edited set of furniture belonging to different categories - Fixed a bug that didn't updated furniture sort and selection when localized data was changed - Added the ability to reset the value of optional fields for items edited individually - Added the Keywords/Tags column available to add some searchable words - Limited decimal count to 5 in saved numbers (count of decimals for 1/16' = 0.15875 cm) - Didn't reset staircase cut out shape to its default value when multiple models with a different shape are modified.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thanks - and congratulations. Downloaded and peeked at, will have a closer look later.
In addition to the bugfixes, I am especially pleased about the Keywords/Tags!
In fact, the more properties are available, the better. Even if it is true that it probably would be confusing for many. Maybe a compromise could be a function that simply opened PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties in the default editor? That way accessing remaining properties would be much quicker for those so inclined.
You really have been busy - know it is appreciated.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Forgot to mention that the beta version of the Furniture Library Editor doesn't erase the new doorOrWindowCutOutShape# property.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The beta 2 of the next version 1.12 of the Furniture Library Editor lets you edit the cut out shape of doors and windows, when one object is modified. Will be happy to read your feedback about it...

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Meaning that changing to SVG window paths at the same time will delete the others?
Thanks. Looks good. Much easier than opening .properties file.
ok
PS I guess users who edit SVG cutouts, may also want to change other doorOrWindow properties (and lightsource), so I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".

Thanks for your tests

Of course not, it means that if you select two or more items in the furniture list and try to modify them, then the Customized cut out shape fields for doors and windows won't appear in the modification dialog box.
I don't think you should be too afraid of including the more advanced properties too (especially ID which is a pain to add manually), just put them far down in the window saying "optional/advanced".
I didn't include these properties in the Furniture Library Editor because I fear they would be complicated to understand and handle, but because it would take some time to program a modification dialog box able to display and manage these properties in the Editor. But if you and others are interested, that should appear one day... At the opposite, if you need to edit IDs, I can easily deliver to you a special version of the program that will let you edit that information (it's just an hidden information).

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The fields for SVG cutout shapes are very small. 20 characters is not very much for the customised cutouts... :-)
No problems with the Beta so far (except the lightsource properties vanished once, but have not been able to recreate so I probably entered a wrong comma or something in the .properties file).
ok
PS: If you have link to the 'special version with ID' it would be great.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
You can type more than 20 characters even if the text field shows only 20 characters, but I'll try to change the layout of the dialog to show a larger text field in a coming version.

I sent you a link to that special version. I'll try to add a preference in a future version to change the list of editable columns.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you, downloaded, much appreciated and enjoyed. Of course, I know I can type more than 20 characters, but my head is spinning (in elliptical arcs, they can be a pain). And seeing the entire path would make it (slightly) easier. But as I doubt adding SVG paths will be a common user pastime, I don't really think it needs to be on your priority list. Will look at more SVG this evening. Thanks for all your prompt responses to silly questions. (And thanks to hansmex for his input. Noted, will do. And .odt is just fine, not need to use .doc/docx ...:-) - will test .odt support for SVG illustrations ...)
ok
PS noticed a very slight Arc offset when specifying SVG (but I suspect the inaccuracy may stem from the .obj file, will check) - if it remains a problem, I will report it.
