Quality of the elements II

I don't know if I have a platform bug.
Maybe you could try if these components are also displayed like this in your case:

Hello Vbxler,
Me too I'm very interested if you redraw some (a lot) of elements.
It's very long and tedious work, but will be a great improvement.

Some advice (even if think you already know that) :

-The position X,Y of terminal must be in multiple of ten (in the crosses of the grid in the element editor)
-The step between two terminal must be 20 for common element like, contactor, fuse, circuit breaker.
-For special element like speed variator, PLC I/O etc.... the step between terminals must be greater (from my experience, 40 is the minimum acceptable, but 60 is better. How do you think about that ?)

-The name of some generic elements (I don't remember which ones) are a reference or a wrong name, you can fix that if you want.
-There is a lot of double or worst triple elements in several place of the official element collection. Also you can remove all of theses elements and keep only one who is located in the appropriate folder.
-There is a lot of duplicated element in the same category only for have the entire set of reference caliber etc... (example circuit breaker 5A, 10A, 20A etc....) QElectroTech must provide only one element of this kind without special information (Ampere, voltage power etc...) and if user want a collection with a set of every reference etc... he can make is own user collection.
Some example about these three last points :
Search for circuit breaker, light...

Thanks for your future contribution, QElectroTech will be better.

First of all, I will make a list with the rules for the components and send it to you.
So we have a fixed starting point. I will also include this page:
https://qelectrotech.org/wiki_new/en/do … guidelines

You're right, the libraries have to be freed from many duplicate components.

Here are my general rules:

Name of element files and folders
---------------------------------------
* Without spelling mistakes
* Characters: 'a..z', '0..9', '_'
* Lower case only
* Would the english language be possible for the elements? Perhaps better for an international used software?

Draw the elements:
-------------------------
* Port locations are multiples of 10.
* Distance between terminals 20
* Special components possibly even greater distance >40

Designation of the elements
-------------------------
* Without spelling mistakes
* Translation into the QET languages
* begins with an uper-case letter
* All characters are allowed except: <>&"'

The elements in hydraulics are well drawn, we can expand on them later.
If you're okay with that, I'll start with the Logic folder as a warm-up.

I'm ok too.

Name of element files and folders
---------------------------------------
* Characters: 'a..z', '0..9', '_'

Remove space in filename.

for i in *; do mv "$i" "$(echo $i | tr " " "-")"; done 

remove capitals in filename.

for i in *; do mv "$i" "$(echo $i | tr A-Z a-z)"; done
or
for i in *; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`; done

I doubt there are many, I'm watching....

Designation of the elements
-------------------------
* Translation into the QET languages
"en" and maybe "fr" by default because they are visible in all languages and even if it is not translated the user sees the name of the element regardless of the language used in the interface , if it is a proper name do not add another translation, example "Siemens" must not be translated in other languages than "en" and "fr", unless it differs in other languages.

Hello Laurent,
please let me know if the element names are correct.
The group '20_logic' can already be distributed.

I added the tip from posting #8 to the two erroneous elements.

I wish a nice evening!

Hello Rudolph,

merged, thanks.
