fun idea: to avoid the issue of having picked a bad point for anchoring a new workplane, and regretting that choice later without a nice way to anchor the workplane somewhere else, how about automatically creating a new point coincident with the other ? that wouldn't solve all problems, but it would at least help against painting oneself accidently into a corner.

[solvespace] whitequark commented on issue #336: SolveSpace is distributed as a single executable file for Windows (and another one for the few people who want the CLI), and of course for macOS as well. Is there really any point in going for e.g. Chocolatey? As far as I'm aware package managers like Chocolatey and NuGet are typically used by developers; SolveSpace doesn't need and won't _install_ anything per se....

[solvespace] Foadsf commented on issue #336: It is great to have single file binaries like .exe, .dmg, .deb , snap and flatpack but there are a couple of issues. first of all if there is something wrong with the dependencies they can't handle it well. secondly keeping the software updated manually is a hassle. I personally use different operating systems per day and use different package managers to keep my software u

[solvespace] whitequark commented on issue #336: It's been a few years since the last release and I don't think SolveSpace will ever release more often than every few months, so it seems to me that it isn't a lot of hassle. Anyway, let's keep this open, if there is substantial interest I'll revisit this topic. https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/336#issuecomment-404757407

[solvespace] Foadsf commented on issue #336: Some of the package managers like HomeBrew can compile from the source. and you can even specify some install options for example --latest, --nightly-build --stable --with-xcode --with-mingw .... this way professional users can follow the latest updates and also give you guys more feedback. It also accelerates the development process. https://github.com/solvespace/solv

[solvespace] whitequark commented on issue #336: What I'm concerned about is the combinatorial explosion of build configurations. At some point in the past I've spent over half my time _just_ on packaging issues. I already have to test it on three OSes and five compilers, and adding more burden here is not trivial. Moreover, I'm not an expert at packaging, and I wouldn't be able to do a very good job at writing Homebr

[solvespace] Foadsf commented on issue #336: You should consider that you are not alone. The more package managers supporting the SolveSpace, the more users have access to the latest bug fixes and features, the more they test it and give you feedback and the more they contribute to the project. It is a positive loop stimulating itself after certain threshold. Consider it as a great investment. ... https://github.c

[solvespace] henriklaxhuber commented on pull request #334 d7a44dc: Sure, that makes sense, although I would change it to 'res://' similar to protocol prefixes such as 'ssh://' etc. I feel like that makes the intent very clear. https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/pull/334#discussion_r202316669

[solvespace] henriklaxhuber commented on pull request #334 d7a44dc: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The Bistream Copyright notice should be included in the distribution of SolveSpace; adding it as a resource (i.e. inlining it into the executable's data section) doesn't really seem like the best idea here.... https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/pull/334#discussion_r202317348

whitequark: JS fixes need to wait for at least a week; I've been slowly trying to knock out a bunch of other stuff before my todolist becomes unmanageable. But well, muxing is tough :P.
