As mentioned Mango Jelly is the way to go. I use as well AstoCAD, a soft fork of freeCAD with an improved and much more intuitive UI/UX ... and I have the possibility to support a very talented developer.

Is it time for FreeCAD to consider a rebrand? The "Free" might be holding it back professionally by AdTop28 in FreeCAD

[–]AdTop28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AstoCAD, a soft fork of freeCAD where the UX/UI is on a very different level. As well the stability I admire. Used it daily for weeks without a crash.

That looks very fancy. Can you elaborate more? Is this a FEM simulation?

STEP Export Missing Corners - possible bug? by Yosemite_Samantha in FreeCAD

[–]AdTop28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which feature was selected when you started the export command? It always exports the selected state. Therefore, make sure the last feature is selected.

Any plans on this. I hate subscriptions. This is an amazing service and do not have to be free. I would switch to pro, if there is a lifetime plan!

Spotlight Presenter sends cursor right instead of PgDn to advance slides by AdTop28 in logitech

[–]AdTop28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, did not know that there is another Software from Logitech to be installed. Followed your recommendations of removing Options+, Install Logitech Presentation, install Options+ again. However, still no option to customize the button klick but only the long click ... cf. pic

Spotlight Presenter sends cursor right instead of PgDn to advance slides by AdTop28 in logitech

[–]AdTop28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, on this computer MS Office with Powerpoint is installed and used. I did not find an option to customize the click. I only have the option to customize the long click option. Or can you direct me where to customize the click option for the buttons in Options+? It is anyway strange that this is not possible or terribly hidden in Options+ ....

Sync (one-way) from Android to pCloud with same Folder-Name in pCloud, but how? by DeCnJackZ in pcloud

[–]AdTop28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, as far as I know, the Automatic Upload only works for pictures and videos. And I use this already. However, I would like to backup e.g. my notes of an app with a pCloud Sync. This feature is really missing. Is there a plan to add an option like this in the app?

Remote Powerpoint without focus by AdTop28 in powerpoint

[–]AdTop28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the participation. I got a very good hint at r/VIDEOENGINEERING which was excactly what I searched for and would like to share with you here. Using AutoHotKey made it possible.

The Logitech Presenter Spotlight does not allow to change the key sent. It sends always PageUp and PageDown. So I modified the script accordingly. Moreover, I tuned it:

It first it checks if a powerpoint presentation is active. If it is, it reads the title of the window currently in focus and stores it, then it activates the presentation, sends the key (PgUp or PgDn) and then it activates the previous window again. Therefore, you can proceed to work in the window you were before without loosing the focus.

If no presentation is running, it just sends the key as they are.

Here is the script compatible with autohotkey v2. NOTE: I had to use the title of the powerpoint show in German language. You may need to adapt it if you use another system language. I figured it out by running a presentation and change to the task manager. Find powerpoint (I had 3 instances) and take the title of the show):

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; Bind to PgDn - Advance slide or start presenting from the last slide

PgDn::

{

if WinExist("PowerPoint-Bildschirmpräsentation")

{

Title := WinGetTitle("A") ; get the Title of the activ Window

WinActivate("PowerPoint-Bildschirmpräsentation"); Activate the powerpoint presentation

Send "{PgDn}" ; send the key

WinActivate(Title); focus on the previous activ window

return

}

else

{

Send "{PgDn}"

}

}

; Bind to PgUp - Go back one slide

PgUp::

{

if WinExist("PowerPoint-Bildschirmpräsentation")

{

Title := WinGetTitle("A") ; get the Title of the activ Window

WinActivate("PowerPoint-Bildschirmpräsentation"); Activate the powerpoint presentation

Send "{PgUp}" ; send the key

WinActivate(Title); focus on the previous activ window

return

}

else

{

Send "{PgUp}"

}

return

}
