0000240: Au démarrage, apparition d'un message de restauration de fichier entraînant un crash.

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 21:10:31 +0200

Suite à un précédent crash de qElectrotec (je ne connais plus la raison exact), le logiciel me propose de restaurer les fichiers pour les récupérer. Je l'ai fait la première fois, sauf que les fichiers étaient en lecture seul. J'ai donc supprimé ce fichier puis pris une sauvegarde qui était dans un de mes SSD (que je fais manuellement).

Le problème est que maintenant, à chaque fois que je démarre qElectrotec, ce message apparaît toujours.
A ce moment là, deux possibilités:
1. Fermer ce message via la croix -> le logiciel démarre normalement ensuite
2. Appuyer sur "Ok" -> un message d'erreur s'affiche -> le logiciel crash

En soit ce bug n'empêche donc en rien l'utilisation du logiciel, mais c'est un peu pénible que la fenêtre s'affiche à chaque démarrage. A noter que j'ai aussi essayé de désinstaller le logiciel pour réinstaller la dernière version dev. Cela n'a pas empêché le message de s'afficher.

En annexe, vous trouverez des captures d'écran des évènements.

0000340: PDF text appears artificially bold in Adobe Acrobat after migration to Qt 6

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:03:39 +0200

Since QElectroTech migrated from Qt 5 to Qt 6, small text in exported PDF files appears excessively thick or artificially bold in Adobe Acrobat Reader at certain zoom levels. When zooming in, the text is rendered correctly.

The same PDF is displayed correctly in Google Chrome and PDFX. Disabling text smoothing in Acrobat makes the text excessively thin, while disabling “Enhance thin lines” has no effect. PDF files exported from the previous Qt 5 version did not show this behavior.

This appears to be a rendering compatibility issue between the PDF output produced with Qt 6 and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

0000237: A "-" in label of user elements causes line feed

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:47:27 +0200

If you create a user element (or copy a default element and save as user element) "-" in label will cause a line feed.
"-" in a label is essential as it is the default prefix. This must not cause a line feed.
It should be like "=P+L-A" but it results in
"=P+L-
A"
with line feed!

0000229: [AppImage] crash by right-click on conductor's control point

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:47:25 +0200

When I right-click on a control point (blue point) of a selected conductor, the program crashes.
It's easier to reproduce after zooming in the schema.
Problem occurs on Ubuntu 20.04 with AppImage (QElectroTech_0.8-DEV-r7117-x86_64.AppImage).
Could not reproduce on Windows version.

0000343: 0.100 : file contents is not consistently saved the same way for the same visual

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:25:21 +0200

I have this file at work using custom elements.
I created an extract for reproducibility attached here : https://github.com/ThomasPrioul/test-qet-export-diff

Whenever I close/open and save the file, the whole file is mixed up :
- attributes order
- elements order

So it's very hard to track diffs in git, it creates huge commits for nothing.
I can't reproduce the behavior on an empty new file where diffs seems much simpler.

0000268: Printing issue

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 21:11:41 +0200

With 0.8 and now 0.9-dev versions the printing is shifted down and to the right.
If I use the "Export in pdf" button, it does the job, but from there, my printer doesn't print out the fine lines (like a push buttons head and the dashed line).
If I use the print function, but instead of my printer I choose the "Microsoft print to PDF" option, it's shifted again in the .pdf file. Even with an empty folio.
Strange thing is, I don't remember having this issue for the first few times printing.

I love this software though, much love from Hungary!

0000288: thumbnail of elements with accents in filename are not displayed when the element is in user collection

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:05:37 +0200

Thumbnail of elements with accents in filename are not displayed in element browser when the element is in user collection.
Thumbnail is correctly displayed when the same element is in QET collection.
This issue is present in version 0.90 and 0.100

0000299: Absence des textes répertoire collection "One-Drive"

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:46:20 +0200

J'ai modifié la localisation de la collection entreprise. Pour la faire pointer vers un répertoire OneDrive.
Dans ce cas, les textes des répertoires sont invisibles. Néanmoins lorsque l'on ouvre la fenêtre "Éditer, le dossier" les informations sont bien présente.

0000317: Collection Panel can not be reattached after undocking from main window

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:46:18 +0200

Hello,

I undocked several panels like "Collection" and "Selection" from the main window with using the button left to the "X" (I don´t know how to call it). Now I am unable to reattach them.

I already tried to restart the application with windows or tabs display mode and also tried the menu options when right clicking the panel. I also reinstalled the software - no change.

Kind regards
Oliver

0000255: UI text scaling on high DPI screen incorrect

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:25:04 +0200

I use QET on a high DPI screen under Windows 10. The scaling for Text and apps on that screen is set to 200%.

In QET the icons and some text elements of the UI are scaled correctly while some other texts are not. See screenshot attached. There for example The main menu and the list on the left are correct and the labels on the tabs are too small.

0000090: For elements and templates, use localised names regardless if QET interface is translated or not...

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:25:02 +0200

I.e for swedish, try to prefer this line in .elmt :

A swedish translation of element name

Like the user interface, fall back to en if localised line is not found.

This way users can more effifiently create new elements in QET which look more professional locally
-and maybe later better have time to contribute ;)

0000106: Crash when selecting an area * with screenshot of debugger *

0000272: lier des bornes

salut

quand tu mets des bornes est-il possible de lier des bornes sur un folios bornier

merci

0000214: Création de multiples références produits, pour un même élément.

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:24:51 +0200

Il serait intéressant de pouvoir, assigner à un même composant graphique, plusieurs références produits.
En effet pour un même produit (ex. Sectionneur) plusieurs pièces sont à commander (sectionneur, poignée, prolongateur etc..) . La possibilité d'ajouter plusieurs références produits à un composant du schéma permettrait d'éditer une nomenclature complète et de pouvoir l'utiliser telle quelle pour la commande de matériel.

0000140: [RFE] Comply with XDG configuration

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:24:48 +0200

Instead of using ~/.qet, use insteand XDG standard directories

elements => $XDG_DATA_HOME ($HOME/.local/share)
titleblocks => idem
elements_cache.sqlite => $XDG_CACHE_HOME ($HOME/.cache)

0000187: Moving elements by mouse does not respect the grid settings - fix included

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:15:34 +0200

When moving element by mouse, snapping to grid uses fixed 10 px steps hardcoded in source instead of using the value from settings. When moved by keyboard, the grid step is respected.
It is due to QPointF Diagram::snapToGrid(const QPointF &p) function not considering the settings.

0000116: Links clickable in exported pdf (master+slave xref, folio ref, links in text)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:25 +0200

0000260: Use cross references in pdf as hyperlink

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:22 +0200

In other electric cad systems the cross references are hyperlinks when i export the schematic to pdf. This is very useful for the customer.

0000102: Feature: Netlist would be nice to have in the future

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:18 +0200

Some idea:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5649#p5649

a list of one row per conductor, containing all elements it connect.

If elements are enhanced to have names on the terminal, the named terminals names could be listed with the element in that list

0000185: Moving element text using keyboard, causes the whole editor to shift

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:15 +0200

I have text on my elements. Moving the text using keyboard allows minor steps.
When, I press arrow keys to move the text, the whole editor will also shift in the arrow direction.

0000207: Implement add folio before or after selected folio

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:12 +0200

I running into an issue related to working in QElectroTech. I have got multiple projects with about 250 folios inside one single file. This is working fine in QElectroTech but... when adding an additional folio inside in between two folios is really a "pain".

I would like to suggest to add a button for adding a folio before or after the folio selected.

See my screenshot for the example.

0000250: Revisión de la propiedad del elemento "Terminal"

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:46:08 +0200

Al crear un elemento "Terminal", todos los terminales que se insertan en dicho elemento quedan automaticamente interconectados entre si asignando el mimsmo numero de cable de la entrada a la salida.

Esto provoca que al dibujar terminales con diferentes niveles, todos los cables se unen, imposibilitando la opción de utilizar terminales en mi caso, ya que utilizo los terminales de tres niveles para conectar elementos como fotocélulas (positivo, negativo y señal).

Cabria la posibilidad de poder seleccionar dentro del elemento tipo "Terminal", que téminales están interconectados entre si? Asi por ejemplo con los terminales que tengan el mismo nombre...

Muchas gracias y enhorabuena por el trabajo realizado.
