[Question] 3mfmerge as standalone project with binary releases? #12

Hi, i use colorscad within containers. Currently building 3mfmerge is part of my Dockerfile, but it takes a long time to compile.

If is see that correctly 3mf is your work, it's not just copied from somwhere else, right?

Having 3mfmerge as a seperate project with github-actions for binary releases should help there alot.

Is that something you would like to see for that project?

Also, is there another space for discussion other than issues?

Kind Regards Dirk

Having 3mfmerge as a separate project makes a lot of sense actually. A small change in behavior makes sense then, to be more generic: ability to explicitly specify colors, instead of deriving it from the filename, which ColorSCAD can then do instead.

I'll have a look into this, however currently a bit busy so it may take a few weeks.

Binaries are already built by the CI now, but not published as part of releases. Would the currently tested set of binaries (ubuntu20/windows amd64, mac amd64/arm) work for you, or are you using something more exotic?

No other space to discuss unfortunately, maybe if these projects grows bigger 🙂

Discussing things here works fine for me, there is no problem :-)

Ubuntu 20/amd64 properly should work for me, should work on debian i guess.

Being able to name Parts would be great for big projects!

Take your time, took me a lot more than a few weeks to actually open an issue :-D

Thank you
