Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Emmanuel:
The version 1.0 beta 5 has the following small problems: - When you right-click in the list with imported items, the last selection says "Selectionner tout". I guess that should be "Select all" - I make a new library by importing the models with "Import furniture" and then I save it with "Save library in a different file". "Create a new library" seems to work as a "clear screen" command, and only deletes the library that is in memory? Maybe the names of these command should be changed?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you Hans for your feedback. I updated the editor accordingly. This editor is a mono window application, so when you click on Create a new library or Open a library tools, the current furniture list is discarded (after a warning if you didn't save it).

Having this Furniture Library Editor (FLE) I can imagine that some people, including myself, will want to build large furniture libraries. And, as always, introducing a new feature leads to requests for even more features: - a Texture Library Editor, modeled in exactly the same way as the FLE; - subcategories for FLE and TLE, so that large sets of models and/or textures are easier to manage. Example: the category Living Room can have the subcategories Tables, Chairs, Couches, Cupboards, etc.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Thank you Emmanuel!!
Only had a very quick go with it so far, initial thoughts, what a great application! Will you also be adding it to Sweet Home as a plug-in or is it staying as a standalone?

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
At this time, I think it will remain a standalone application for a while...

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
Works nicely. I wanted to make a desktop launcher (on my Linux system) but I couldn't get the command right so that did not work. Right now, I just have to remember where the file is and right click that and select to open with java.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I just updated the Beta version of the Furniture Library Editor with the fix for better DAE/Collada support. This tool will probably be released in the coming days with Sweet Home 3D 2.5. I updated the Beta version of Sweet Home 3D 2.5 too, and now you can import again existing SH3F or SH3T files without being obliged to relaunch Sweet Home 3D.

Re: Furniture Library Editor Beta released
I updated Sweet Home 3D 2.5 to Beta 4 to avoid problems with temporary working files that were wrongly deleted (this happens rarely). Now, these files are stored in the work directory of your personal application directory (eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\work under Windows, eTeks/Sweet Home 3D/work under Mac OS X and .eteks/sweethome3d/work under Linux). Please can you confirm it works correctly on your system and that temporary files are deleted once you exited the program?

Under Ubuntu, I can see a new subdirectory called "work", next to "furniture" and "plugins". Judging by their size and number, on opening SH3D, the files from the "furniture" directory are copied into it, and deleted as soon as SH3D is closed.
