00:10 <InPhase> J23: The problem being they are all brought to the center.

00:11 <InPhase> Except in unusual cases of no relative positioning.

00:12 <InPhase> Honestly I usually don't mess with !. I typically use so many modules that I just comment out my top level module call, and call a different one instead.

00:12 <J23> the are not relocated .. it  just depends where you put the !

00:13 <InPhase> That more easily translates to manual position tweaking with the separate calls.

00:14 <InPhase> # I sometimes use though, particularly on negative elements.

00:14 <J23> could work like "#"  just  hide all other

00:18 <J23> you just can not use the ! to work on a part of the design - you need to disable all other  and if you have multiple on top level you need to group them or  similar

00:19 <J23> would be nice if i could select the part with "!" and then further the part i am working on with another "!"

00:32 <InPhase> # keeps positioning, which I usually consider an asset. But I don't have trouble rotating and translating things in my head. The current ! behavior might benefit a subset of the user base more than a ! that worked like #.

00:34 <InPhase> And of course # is available still if people just want to highlight some parts.

00:35 <InPhase> I often use it if I just lost track of which line corresponds to which element. (Most often this is when grabbing someone else's design and starting in the middle.)

06:55 <guso78> InPhase,  t-paul is wondering why your image changes show up in the PR from python-support to master but  Since python-support was forked from master some time back, i brought in the python addidions into python-support and you brought in your image compare into master.

06:58 <guso78> This is why  the change set shows both changes in parallel. I know its unusual flow to merge into a branch of openscad only and its not very common to the community, but it was my wish, because i have seen the big change set beforehand.

06:58 <guso78> We could reduce the changeset to in python-support to only python stuff by merging latest changes of master into python-support to sync up here.

13:20 <InPhase> guso78: Yeah, it is pretty normal practice to keep a development branch up to date with changes to master to avoid massive merge conflicts later.

13:21 <InPhase> guso78: In a final PR it should be able to highlight the differences between the branch forming the PR and master, rather than all changes made to the branch since creation.

13:21 <InPhase> So clarity will appear at that point.

13:24 <guso78> InPhase, thank you for confirming.  I got the strong suspicion, t-paul would wonder about less differences when latest master changes would be merged into python-support. lets see.

13:34 <guso78> BTW : Thank you for naming me guso78 again :)

15:41 <lf94> Seagull

15:41 <lf94> I wake up every day wanting to change the code cad world

15:41 <lf94> Yet, no time

15:42 <lf94> Too busy with the job, learning french, working out, and other coding endeavors

15:42 <lf94> (At the moment, blackjack card counting trainer)

19:48 <guso78> is anybody here ?

19:49 <Friithian> nope we're all dead

19:50 <teepee> oh no

19:55 <Friithian> well Im at least dead inside

19:56 <guso78> my day was also very challenging, still dont know exaclty, what makes the difference about the shown object vertices

20:11 <lf94> feeling dead inside also

20:29 <Friithian> designing databases is annoying, well, application design is annoying

20:29 <Friithian> ^ why I am dead inside currently

20:36 <lf94> me: my design guy disappearing intermittently constantly

20:36 <lf94> also other things

20:36 <lf94> feels just like the weather is affecting me

20:37 <guso7887> haha, seems that i launched the perfect openscad topic.

20:38 <guso7887> will look again later :)

20:38 <Friithian> problem is I've never actually had a program that directly interfaces with an SQL database, Guess everything will be hard coded :P

20:43 <teepee> I don't think I had *any* work related program that did not do some sort of SQL database access in the last 20 years :)

20:44 <Friithian> first time, no clue what I'm doing, just making it all up as I go :D

20:48 <teepee> general rule... don't build SQLs by adding strings together :)

20:53 <Friithian> oh I will veryu much not be doing tha tlol

21:00 <Friithian> I plan on using mysql connector for c++, no idea if it'll make me want to commit sudo userdel -r $USER
