Re: Metric concealed-head standoff rendering issue

I just upgraded to Protocase Designer v6.0.59, which seems to finally fix this rendering issue. Unfortunately, as a side-effect, it is now complaining about pockets and pocket thickness for all of the "CSS-M3-8" parts in my enclosure. Even increasing the enclosure thickness property to the maximum f...

Re: Unable to accurately scale SVG graphics in PD.

Okay, its been two years. This bug is still there, as are all of the complaints over SVG handling mentioned above. If I actually care about correctly sized/scaled SVGs, it seems like the only way involves knowing the aspect ratio of the visible content, and manually editing the right part of the .pd...

Re: Face Designer Zoom wheel always zooms in

I don't think this bug was ever fixed. I also experience a version of it with the latest Protocase Designer, on the main view, on Linux. The scroll wheel works for zooming in, but does nothing in the other direction. Looking at the log file doesn't reveal anything related to mouse events. Best guess...

Re: Text Justification would be really useful.

Its been nearly two years. It would be nice if this feature was there already. The closest we seem to have is that weird hack with the measure tool, that's described on the website. Keeping consistent and sensible relationships between label text and enclosure features is way too awkward and fiddly.

Metric concealed-head standoff rendering issue

When I place imperial concealed-head (CSS) standoffs onto an enclosure, they work correctly. The standoff protrudes from the side its supposed to, and is invisible on the opposite side. However, when I place a metric concealed-head standoff ("CSS-M3-8" specifically, as its the only one that seems to...

Re: Linux version of PD on Ubuntu 22.10

Just to clear up some confusing, its perhaps best to explain how environment variables get applied when running something on the command line: This sets FOOVAR in the shell, but does not export it for any command subsequently launched. It will not be in the environment for "someapp": $ FOOVAR=123 $ ...

Re: Linux version of PD on Ubuntu 22.10

I feel like Protocase Designer is chronically broken on Linux, and the only people testing it are using such clean systems that they never notice or address the issues. If they're testing it at all. That being said, the problem with the latest version seems to be library path prioritization. They bu...
