16:55 <bunnyhamer> hi im new here, i downloaded the latest version of OpenSCAD from the website, i made a cute model with it and really enjoyed myself. bui it seems really old and slow, i used the webassembly compiled version and it rendered my script a lot faster and looks a lot better too

16:56 <bunnyhamer> is there a newer version or everyone just builds from source

16:56 <teepee> yes, release version is old. if you scroll down on the download page you'll find the dev snapshots

16:58 <teepee> after installing dev snapshot, enable "Backend = Manifold" in preferences

16:58 <bunnyhamer> what does that do?

16:58 <bunnyhamer> and thanks

17:00 <teepee> it switches the mesh calculation engine to a new one which is faster and able to use multiple cpus

17:00 <teepee> plus it supports keeping colors in final meshes

17:02 <bunnyhamer> very cool, just used it, finished in under a second where previously was on about 30 seconds

17:08 <bunnyhamer> thank you very much, though i think it would be cool if the release were up to date, I started looking on how to build for windows and was almost discourged from using till i asked here.

17:10 <buZz> communication is often key ;)

17:11 <buZz> but yeah, a new release version would be quite nice

17:12 <teepee> indeed, free time too ;-)

17:12 <buZz> i dont even get why macos is the toplisted download :D do even >5% users use that?

17:47 <InPhase> buZz: Probably kintel with a for loop.

17:57 <teepee> I think buzz meant macos links coming top on the download page?

17:57 <teepee> I'm not sure about the numbers, let me see...

18:06 <teepee> hmm, ngtop generated a 2.3gb database, but no output

18:06 <buZz> so way below 5%

18:07 <buZz> :D

18:07 <teepee> oh, default is just show number of requests

18:07 <buZz> o

18:08 <teepee> give the poor raspi some time to crunch the numbers :)

18:09 <teepee> huh, 51.4k downloads of the windows *release* over the last month, that's crazy

18:10 <teepee> just 5k for snapshots

18:10 <teepee> 23k macos release

18:16 <teepee> last 6 month: https://pastebin.com/uH4q8zNg

18:17 <teepee> oh, forgot the appimage

18:23 <teepee> that looks even bogus, what are all those macos downloads, are those real? due to the update notification maybe? https://pastebin.com/eyiNs3XV

18:39 <kintel> The snapshots don't autoupdate I think

18:39 <kintel> ..but lots of the downloads are bots/crawlers or download sites caching the images I think

18:43 <teepee> yeah, certainly looks like it

18:44 <kintel> I believe direct downloads was around 50% Win, 25% macOS, and 25% misc last I checked, but that's 8 years ago or so, and we averaged ~30K downloads a month back then

18:44 <kintel> Linux tends to get OpenSCAD from other sources, so it's hard to measure

18:45 <teepee> yeah, Snap has some numbers, Flatpak no, OBS no, distros no

18:45 <kintel> Also, macOS one homebrew now just downloads our binaries, so we get those in our stats too

18:45 <Guest64> Thanks for helping. It worked! (y)

18:46 <kintel> I'm struggling with this issue: 1. Launch OpenSCAD, 2. View Error Log, 3. Detach Error Log, 4. Ctrl-Q, 5. Hang

18:47 <kintel> -> looks like Qt just gets stuck in an infinite loop trying to close the Error Log window; something about dock widgets being handled in a special way internally. Any ideas?

18:49 <teepee> works on linux with Qt5

18:49 <teepee> could be our docking callback, is that called maybe?

18:50 <teepee> snap: 5.5k release, 2.5k snapshot

18:52 <kintel> Could be Qt6 - same issue is discussed here: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/5630

19:30 <kintel> teepee The issue seems to be related to the code in errorLogTopLevelChanged() - I don't really know how that all fits together, but I guess this is my opportunity to figure it out :)

19:30 <teepee> huh, that's the filter combobox?

19:32 <kintel> The same happens for FontList, so I don't expect it to be related to the widget contents

19:52 <teepee> strange

20:18 <stealth_> indeed
