Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Prices management is already more or less programmed in Sweet Home 3D and the Furniture Library Editor, but I don't feel like activating this feature in the default release.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I must be missing something, because I am not sure I see the problem with lots of fields as long as the default furniture list does not reveal more than Name_Width_Depth_Height_Visible. What I think would be nice, though, is for the information# field to be carried over into the furniture list. That way I could look at the items from the plan - that is, with the hyperlink - without having to look up the original catalogue entry. ok

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
The information property is stored in .sh3d files from version 4.2, but wasn't viewed in the furniture list until Sweet Home 3D 4.5 that now displays a clickable icon at the right of the name column for the pieces which have such information available.
Hope you'll like it

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you! Clever solution with the non-changeable, linkable reference. This is bound to be a great improvement for interior designers and anyone who wants to provide model libraries for SH3D. Design a room, provide the file and link each item. Also, it will let a creator maintain some control over models in terms of copyright etc. Very good.
Basic HTML seems to work beautifully (font colours, links). However, I suspect one should keep it simple. For instance, by using HTML entities (basic character set): € did not work, but € does. Which means you get a link to your model (and could even quote the price in the link).
Tried this entry which showed up beautifully in catalogue and furniture list:
Even if this does not answer to a wish for having price as an optional Furniture column (so you can put it in a spreadsheet and get totals), but that is a different question. And this is, methinks, more important.
ok
PS - I still have the SF Bugs 499 problem that my editor seems to corrupt the item I work on in PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties, so the item does not import correctly to SH3D. However, if I open same file with Furniture Library Editor and save, the file appears fixed. I have not figured out what this might be, but Furniture Library Editor appears to have a greater tolerance of sh3f files than SH3D - go figure.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
For the record - by "..this is more important..." - I mean that the new display of information is more important than price (or other optional columns). So all cred for an elegant solution implemented. Really a nice improvement. Very happy. ok
I'm having an issue with the Library Editor. I can save files, but these .sh3f files can only be opened in the Library Editor and are only visible when opening files in this program. They are not visible in windows explorer or Sweet Home 3D. Is this a known issue? I'd appreciate any help.

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
If the .sh3f files you created are not visible in Windows explorer, how could you choose them in Sweet Home 3D to import them? You probably saved them in a folder that is not the one you expected. If you want, you can also send me a .sh3f file to test it on my side, but as you can't find them, it's going to be difficult for you to attach one of them to an email!

Re: Furniture Library Editor released
I LOVE this program! Thanks so much for publishing. However is it possible to make it use a standard language for all sh3f files? The preferences lets me set it to english but there is more than one english (AE, BE,...) and I wish it would just stick to the same whenever I load a file. Thanks!
