I think I've found the trick (bug?)

Scorpio, now, your example is working on my configuration - and my example also - BUT only if the user collection directory is on its default path.
If I try to change it to a custom location "Settings > Configure > Collections > User collection directory" then the content of the collection is correctly loaded but the qet_labels.xml file seems to be simply ignored.

Hello,

Same result with your example : No prefix shown in QET.

Maybe qet_labels.xml should be placed elsewhere ?
I've tried to put it sequentially in :

  • .\coils

  • .\coils_prefix_FX

  • .\coils_prefix_XYA

With no change in behavior.

Greetings,

I'm desperately trying to define custom prefix for my own elements library but I failed until now.
I think I've understood - at least I hope to - what was explained in the previous posts and video.
I've made a lost of tests before following back to a really simple example. But it still doesn't work

  • I'm using QElectroTech 0.7 on Windows

  • I've kept the default path for my user library. It contains only one directory named "connecteurs"

  • Inside of this directory, I've placed some .elmt files and a file named "custom_labels.xml" as follows :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<labels>
  <category name="connecteurs">
    <prefix>XYZ</prefix>
  </category>
</labels>

But still, when starting QET and placing one of my custom elements on a new folio, when typing "%prefix" in the label formula, nothing is shown.
Am I still missing something ?
