See you!
Once again, we managed to be mute during two months. But we have not been inactive since the latest news:
- Our elements collection now contains 1123 elements within 179 categories.
- A few improvements and bugfixes in the elements panel or when opening files.
- Pressing F2 now allows to quickly change the colour of a conductor.
- The elements panel now displays the folio index right before its title.
- We implemented a SQLite-based cache to speed up the elements panel loading.
- We also stopped loading the whole collection in memory, therefore speeding up the start time and sparing a lot of memory, especially when the SQLite cache is filled.
The elements repository is concerned too:
- a bug in the generation of ZIP archives has been fixed
- from now on, the elements collection as it can be found in our 0.3 branche will be synced to the "collection_officielle" directory every hour.
See you!

When will QElectroTech be achieved?
The main developer himself does not know ; indeed, there are still a lot of things to implement in order to get a version worthy of this name. Plus, the developer lacks time. QElectroTech v1.0 will then be released " When it's done ".
