A2plus Workbench
Hi Mario,

you changed today a filename. What do I have to know? Should all image files related to a2plus begin with "a2p_"? What about PNG. I used JPG is there any reason why you changed it to PNG?

thanks and regards --uwestoehr (talk) 21:03, 12 February 2019 (CET)

deleting an image
Since you deleted today an image, I ask you how can I do this? I uploaded yesterday this image: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/File:A2p_ToggleTranparency.svg is has a typo in its name that has been fixed today in the a2plus WB therefore I either want to upload it with the correct name or rename it to the correct name: "A2p_ToggleTransparency.svg"

hi Uwestoehr welcome
for the rename jpg to png, just the png file is free not the jpg


 * I don't understand. What do you mean with "not free"? the JPG- format is license and patent-free since 10 years or so. Also in the FC Wiki editing guideline there is nothing mentioned that JPG is not allowed and why.--uwestoehr (talk) 15:03, 13 February 2019 (CET)


 * I had again a look and I see that several Wiki pages use JPG files e.g. this one Draft_Offset.--uwestoehr (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2019 (CET)


 * yes and many other files in general they are old files now the preference is for the png and the svg.

 * OK. But can you please add this info to the Wiki editing guidelines that people are aware of this? Thanks and regards --uwestoehr (talk) 23:26, 14 February 2019 (CET)


 * done in Editing#Editing_basics and Third Party Tools. If you find other page you can mention it

 * I still don't understand. You write there that one should use free file formats. So why is JPG then forbidden? It is free: ISO definition available for free, implemented in all free OSes etc. Therefore please explain what the problem with JPG is. Also this strange patent issue mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Patent_issues is now no more an issue since the patent expired today: https://patents.google.com/patent/US4813056 thanks and regards--uwestoehr (talk) 11:52, 15 February 2019 (CET)


 * too complicated for me, what I know about the png format I knew it here, but it's a good debate to propose on the forum to know more. Maybe this preference is no longer relevant.
 * PS: i fond interesting post Availability of icons

for the file A2p_ToggleTranparency.svg i delete it you must download the new file with the new name it is possible to rename the file but it create a redirection, personally i prefer to delete the file


 * Thank you. I reuploaded it now under the correct name.--uwestoehr (talk) 15:03, 13 February 2019 (CET)

Install_on_Unix vs. Install_on_Unix/de
Hi Mario,

today I extended some infos on Install_on_Unix with regard to openSUSE. Later on I wanted to translate it into german. I could remark a dicrepancy if I look in the Translator:

The english text with regard to openSUSE is vanished in the Translator. What to da?


 * Hi after modification in English page the page must be validated by one moderator for translate and only after the page can be translated. Done now you must translate and enjoy
