Great!
I'm glad it looks we can cooperate this way. If I had the read access to your development git branch I could prepare commits based on the current code - that saves time of both me (some fixes already done) and you (every merge easier for you). I can continue sending commits via forum or e-mail so I do not need any write access to you tree. What do you think about that?
Also, it would be great if you can have a virtual machine with Linux so you can test your builds there. Of course, I may help you with this if needed. Installation of Debian or Ubuntu is easy, same about openSuse or Fedora.
For example, the following is a list of issues I was hit by - and I plan to work on them if needed, after Christmas:
First run - the creation of the first user configuration:
* LPub3D creates new directory tree on its own ($HOME/.local/share/LPub3D Software/LPub3D/) but it forgets to create some files there and complains to me instead: "extras/titleAnnotations.lst", "extras/fadeStepColorParts.lst", "extras/pliSubstituteParts.lst".
* to make it more annoying, it cries later about missing titleAnnotations.lst file before rendering each and every step
* Preferences: after typing the ldglite path manually the roller "preferred renderer" does not get any value and "Required settings are missing..." warning pops up after hitting "OK" button. The workaround is to click on "Browse", even I do not need to change the path. Then, everything works.
* LPub3D asks me for both complete.zip and ldraw directory - why??
* LPub3D tries to get some archive of unofficial parts - how can I point it to my "Unofficial" subdirectory of my ldraw tree instead? Same as what I use and/or used with LDCad, LPub4, SR3D Builder...
in the application:
* ctrl-O does not work
* ctrl-S tries to "save the project" even when nothing is open
* I do not understand how to "synchronize" the angle of current step and the angle in that 3D window. A different angle is shown there and if I rotate with that 3D view and press "insert rotstep" button, I get completely different view in the rotstep than it is shown in the 3D sidebar.
generic:
the program crashes with segmentation fault in several cases, I try to map them and solve what I can.
I expect more but this is what I have found so far. It looks like a set of problems big enough to prevent me getting bored between Christmas and the end of year I'd be very glad if you can tell me more: what makes sense to spend time with, what you have already solved in your development branch, what looks like a Linux-specific problem etc.
