Topic: How can I use the qelectrotech-element-contrib Elements Collection?

Hello,

I'm a very new user of QET and using it to create a motor control circuit for my dust collector.
I've been watching videos (that I can find in English), reading documentation and browsing the forums.

I am running QET version QElectroTech V 0.90+e3afc562b on Linux. I would like to use the qelectrotech-element-contrib Elements Collection in my project but I'm unsure how to install it. As a test, I tried saving a single .elmt file into my User Collection folder and while the item does appear, I cannot add it to my drawing (when I try to drag it nothing happens).

I've looked in the documentation and the project ReadMe for instructions on using an external collection, but not finding anything.
Can anyone help me understand what needs to be done?


Regards,
Steve

Hi, have you refresh collection by right click on collections tree and do reload collection?

Edit : on 0.100-dev in settings you need before config where yours collection directories was located on disks.
