in the menu project settings, new folios menu, cross-references tab :

You have 3 types in the list menu which is framed in red on the image, coil, protective device and switch switch,
select the right type and define where the references will be placed.

You can select a different position according to its 3 types, is it complicated?

Hi Nuri,

I 'm very happy to see you again here after this long delay, welcome. nomicons/wink

Yes, Nuri, that's a good idea. AI could complement the search and replace tool (Ctrl + F) for more complex actions or modifications.

As I have never used Ai like Claude, ChatGPT or others before, I am not really in a position to give my opinion on them at this time.

Best regards,
Laurent

Edit:

Beyond implementing the chatbot in the GUI, what we also need is the ability to update the *.qet file on the fly without restarting QET after each change.

I prefer the approach of like qet_terminal_tb_generator and other plugins to make a backup and rename the project before using AI changes...

For now, for AI I'm watching from afar to see what happens...

Hallo Jürgen,

very beautiful work, thanks you Jürgen, I could put you PDF here ?: https://download.qelectrotech.org/qet/schemas_pdf/

Other diagram car https://download.qelectrotech.org/qet/s … iagram.pdf
It 's also provided in Qet 's packages.

For element sharing please provide an zip on forum, I don't understand german language on your link https://office-sso.mailbox.org/.
Btw, if you could also share the archive of ypour QET project I can push it to examples provided on all QET packages, if you want off course.

I am always surprised and delighted to see electrical systems in boats, barges and cars being renovated using QET. You are very welcome here, MacGyver fans like me nomicons/wink

Thank you, André, I have pinned your related topic.

If I remember correctly, the ‘thumbnail’ type was added only for the SQL database and for the Boom table in order to count only one element in entire the project with the same label.
Not the physical representation element for nomenclature list, off course is the same element!

acolomb wrote:

That label is the cross-reference back to the "master" device, which can be double-clicked to jump there. It is automatically attached to the "label" dynamic text of the element. So you need to be careful where you place that text.  For the master, it will extend to a list of bound slaves, with one folio reference per slave, also showing the slave's "contact type" property symbolically.

As for contributing the elements, sure you can make a pull request to include it in the standard library, if the quality / consistency is acceptable. However, this pattern of master-slave relationships between the physical and logical symbols is not common among existing library elements.  If you have for example mostly circuit breakers, for which the official library symbol already defines an according element type (master / organ of protection), then it would be kind of useful. But imagine someone not wanting to link it, they could not even give your element a label (as that is not independently possible for slaves). So it would limit the utility of the whole element.

Hallo André,

If you can attach an example of a declassified project, it could help new users and perhaps give old users some ideas.

Hello Arkadiusz,

Nowadays, QET is not only used by many individuals, teachers and students but also by
professional electricians and a lot of many companies all over the world.


QET is also provided on official Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Redhat entreprise  RHEL etc repository.
My package for Windows is cross-compiled with MXE :
https://mxe.cc/
with Digikam script on my Debian
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam … c0fa56a948
https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … Windows.sh

https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1432

https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 976#p13976

Tip: don't try 0.90 but 0.100-dev!


Best regards,
Laurent

Btw, macOS package was submitted to Apple server:

macOS Apple Silicon arm64, signed and notarized.

Overview
Notarization gives users more confidence that the Developer ID-signed software
you distribute has been checked by Apple for malicious components.
Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated
system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing
issues, and returns the results to you quickly. If there are no issues, the
notary service generates a ticket for you to staple to your software; the
notary service also publishes that ticket online where Gatekeeper can find it.

When the user first installs or runs your software, the presence of a ticket
(either online or attached to the executable) tells Gatekeeper that Apple
notarized the software. Gatekeeper then places descriptive information in the
initial launch dialog to help the user make an informed choice about whether
to launch the app.





QET est maintenant disponible sur le MDM IDF (ile de france PARIS)
https://iledefrance-unowhy.com/?s=qelectrotech
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 741#p16741

It works without any problems here.
You could try with other utils ."You are not on Windows."... Also try wget or curl..

wget https://download.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/AppImage/0.100.0/X86_64/QElectroTech_0.100.0-r8536-x86_64.AppImage

Another workaround :
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 475#p16475

1) use list contact view and not cross for all Xref .
2) For graphical elements change the property thumbnail to slave and select "other"

Hi,

don't use QET 0.90 but 0100-dev!

By the way, after several research, I downgraded the docutils packages in my Debian Sid, which new docutils packages version was breaking my Python Sphinx documentation needed to compile the Extra Cmake Modules. Like

Hello

I draw the walls of the house (on this subject, if anyone knows where to find a library for doors and windows), but when I import a socket from the QET collection, it appears too large in the drawing space.

see: https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 367#p10367

Columns and rows isn't for printer paper but for scaling element view in your diagrams.

Hi Carl,

this has only been reported here on the forum and on Github issues; there doesn't seem to be any entry in Mantis.

Emil have writted a new documentation for compile it under Windows with Qt6.9 if some one can try?
https://github.com/EmilOsvoll/qelectrot … d_Guide.md

As indicated by plc-user, the master and qt6-cmake branches have diverged significantly. Merging the master branch into the qt6-cmake branch causes many conflicts that must be resolved manually. I tried, but I got confused... my knowledge of GIT is limited.

Houston, we have a problem!!!!!

Standard support for Qt 5.15 will end after 26th of May 2025, as communicated earlier. After the support period, the release will be in EoS (End of Support) state and will only be supported through additional services, including Extended Security Maintenance for Qt 5.15, Extended Support, and Professional Services. Customers distributing applications and embedded devices using Qt 5.15 software should evaluate how to access technical support and maintenance patches which may include security fixes. Standard commercials terms still apply after End of Support.

https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectr … issues/402

Qt5 is now declared deprecated in Gentoo
At this point in time, Linux distributions are starting to track which packages are blocking a future Qt5 cleanup. Real Qt Company OSS support stopped back in 2020, when public availability of LTS releases started to be delayed for 1 year, stable branch repository access got closed down (with 5.15 branch repository receiving any new LTS tag one year after commercial release) and only Qt6-relevant bugs are being fixed (then backported) since then. The final release happened on 2025-05-19, which means a) we will not get it until 2026-06-19, b) any bugs discovered since last May will not be fixed and c) no bugs since 2020-12-08 that haven't also been affecting Qt6 were fixed at all.

Or if you want to work under Wayland just edit /usr/share/applications/org.qelectrotech.qelectrotech.desktop

And change

Exec=qelectrotech %F

By

Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb qelectrotech %F

Off course! you need to change this line in *.desktop after each QET package upgrade...

This is a Qt 5 bug and I think is fixed on Qt 6.9 or 6.10 version?
For QET we need to wait when we compile it with Qt 6.X framework
