Thank you for the quick reply.
I did not enter this on my old install, so it then obviously used the old configuration file that was created at an installation.
Do we have a list of all things that can be set in the config file and command line for QETv0.6 ?

BTW one missed word in english translation: When it loads a drawing is displays a progress message saying i.e "23 sur 51" instead of "23 of 51"

Thanks for thinking about it

I do like that.  In your case i would make a master element that only contain the common part like power supply and communications interface.  And then slave element for the I/O ports.  (this is much like logic IC are commonly handled in electronic CAD: one symbol for power, and another symbol for the individual gates.  One difference is that those programs are built for it and handles it more elegantly)

Another case i have been experimenting with is to have a fluid valve as master, and as slaves to it i link the actuator (can be pneumatic or electric), and optionally also position sensor(s).  Very neat and tidy, avoids a lot of wiring mess.

What is your screen resolution?

I actually prefer manual saving, the hard time is to remember to do it...
My nomenclature is like this
[project]-[incremented number]-[optionally a short note of important changes since last].qet

For the time stamp i used to trust the filesystem, but that fail for most remote filesynchrinisation methods, so sometimes i note it after the incremented number.

(Yes i still exist, long time no see...)

XP compatibility is great to have.
There are times you need XP for old programs needed by some old hardware in machines to service/rebuild, and it is good to be able to run QET on same system. 

In the folio settings, remove the mark in the box next to "Visible text" in picture

Ah great, and thanks for the quick reply

Suggestion:

When issuing (like I did)

$ qelectrotech --help

it explain that option like:

  --config-dir=DIR              Definir le dossier de configuration

I dont know much french, but to me it looks like it say "Define configuration folder"

But QET still store configuration in ~.config/QElectroTech/QElectroTech.conf !

Instead it works like you say   So please update the --help to reflect reality  - that it defines the base dir of custom elements and title blocks

OR if you like, make that option really point to the configuration file, and make a new option
  --custom-dir=DIR    base folder of custom elements and title blocks

OR... was it meant that configuration file should be stored on the base folder of custom elements and title blocks?
(would also be nice if output in english if system language is not french, but most users guess the meaning anyway )

Another test:
booting into MS Windows7 on that laptop and use the QET windows binary, the text is instead a little bit *smaller* than on my Mageia workstation.

There is another small problem: All text on schema is less beautiful - kerning and softness (i dont remenber the correct term right now) seem broken.  Menus and project list etc are all OK.

While not beautiful, it is good enough for my immediate need.

Picture left: Nice text in folio list - right: ugly rendered text on schematic

Maybe it is a question of what typefaces are installed?
I have only used default and not tred other.  Yet.
