Summary | 0001861: Alias files not working on Macintosh | ||||
Description | When a File Selection dialog is open, FreeCAD shows Macintosh Aliases as greyed out (i.e. non-selectable). From Wikipedia "In Mac OS an "Alias" is a small file that represents another object in a local, remote, or removable file system and provides a dynamic link to it; the target object may be moved or renamed, and the alias will still link to it." I think Windows calls the same facility "shortcut" but I'm not sure about that. With large disk structures, the lack of support for Alias files forces the FreeCAD user to navigate manually from one tree section to another. Note: The sidebar on the left hand side of the file selection dialog which basically offers a list of Alias files to select from works perfectly. It is only the Alias files that are in the directory tree structure that fail to operate as Alias files. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1 start FreeCAD 2 File->Open (or any other file selection dialog in FreeCAD) 3 any folder with an alias file will have the alias shown as greyed out (i.e. non-selectable) | ||||
Additional Information | In the attached screen snapshot the 2nd and 11th entries are both Alias files, the 11th points to the folder where the FCMacro files for FreeCAD are stored. These should appear in black which would mean they are selectable. Instead they are greyed out which means they can not be selected.

Seems to work with Mac OS X 10.8 and Qt 4.8. If the alias file is not selectable you have to switch to 'All files' as filter.
