Hello Scorpio810, I'm pretty sure there is more to it than just changing the path.
It looks like more is going on in the background.
After the last update yesterday of Big Sur qet_TB_generator is not even starting anymore by direct activating.
As of big sur things changed in safety policies. It looks like As if the "hidden" library is scanned with each update and any irregularities returned to default.
It also looks like acces to the library folder is more limited the previous versions of mac os.
Before putting any changes in place it's perhaps more easy to test the new MAC os behavior a bit more in detail.
If I can help there please don't hesitate to contact me.
I can even give you acces to my macbook by means of teamviewer so you can have a look yourself if that is helpfull.

Small update
I got QET and get_tb_generate to work on a macbook pro running Mac OS Catalina v10.15.7 within 10 minutes.
And I did notice the file locations (library) used for python is different.
For Catalina they are in the root library location in Big Sur they are in the user library.
That probably means more changes in the background which I'm not familiar with.

I'm pretty sure at this point that Big Sur is creating all the issues.
This morning I had an update from version 11.2.2 to 11.2.3 and now I cannot even start qet_tb_generator any more.
I will get QET installed on another macbook pro with catalina to give it a shot before wasting any more of your time !
Thank you for you support scorpio810

Could the issues that I experience have something to do with the way Mac Big sur is set up ?

I had a look at some youtube tutorials (posted 4 years ago) but they reload collections
Which I tried, but nothing showed up.
The shell screen when I generate the terminal strip is in the attachment.
Does it actually generate the terminalstrip ?

with manual start I mean that I double click the program in the finder.
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/qet_tb_generator
Does not work even after a restart of the macbook

when I start manually an manual give in the project it does give me the X1 with the right amount of terminals.
The button is blank until I click it.
Where would I be looking for the generated terminal strip ?

Thank you for your continued support scorpio810, I appreciate the effort you put into helping me a lot.
I made the folders and copied the content of the original bin to it.
Then I executed the command line.
See the attached printscreen.
Unfortunately I can still not open through project - open plugin

I'm not sure what you mean.
Do I need to change something to get it working ?
I'm not familiar with python or programming language.

When I enter and execute:
python3.8 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/qet_tb_generator
I get "can't open file" and no such file or directory. (see attachment)
The directory and file are however present when I look in finder.

Hello scorpio810,
I use a MACbook pro with OS 11.2.2 (Big sur).
To install get_tb-generator I used your post reference in the pop up when going through project-lauch plugin. https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 5674#p5674
It did make me run into python v3.5 vs v3.8. As I installed v3.8 and the post references to v3.5.

Good day !
I'm an novice in the use of QET but I'm super impressed going form one revelation to the other during my experience in getting to know QET.
It's ver intuitive and the documentation is surprisingly easy to grasp.
Everybody involved in the creation and maintenance of QET a big thumbs up and a thank you.
It probably does not come as a surprise that a novice user of QET runs in a question for which I did not yet find an answer.
It's probably myself who is the problem why it's not working but I'm not getting my head around the problem. And I'm hoping someone can put me on the road to the solution.
The problem which I encounter is with the get_tb_generator.
I installed python 3.8 and got the get_tb_generator installed.
And that is where the fun ended.
When launching the terminal generator form project-launch plugin it gives the "not found"popup giving directions how to install.
When trying to to follow the directions in some of the post by scorpio810 like starting the tb generator from the shell it also does not start.
Adding the path to the library in the PATH also does not change things.
Is there anybody that can give me some tips to get it working ?
