Only one month. The conversation barely restarted on a PR of mine that is ... 1.5-year old.
Also it looks you messed up your PR by introducing this weird #addonmanager_workers.py# file...
Yes, it’s a boolean common. The same way that pocket is a boolean cut and pad is a boolean union.
How? I don’t see it. In my opinion it fits perfectly in PartDesign, it has the same logic as pad and pocket.It breaks (or clutters) the established workflow.
Maybe, but this might duplicate a lot of code and the toolbars are too full already.It should implemented like a own feature like the other features, see my post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 49#p507649.
This nested operations is also a thing what i do not like in the branch from RT (no offense!).
While it may be true from an implementation point of view, this is absolutely wrong from a user point of view.
Yes, but as user i would expect for every base type of boolean operation (Add, Cut, Common (Or, Not, And)) a feature. I never came to the idea for searching that function in the Add or Cut Operation. At least the term "inverse" is misleading, if then something like "common" or similar (the inverse of an Add is a Cut).
It's not much about popularity, the problem seems to be that you want to work with feature editing tools without using the appropriate paradigms. If you see things with a boolean point of view, use Part and CSG workflow.user1234 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 4:38 pm Yes, but as user i would expect for every base type of boolean operation (Add, Cut, Common (Or, Not, And)) a feature.

The PartDesign workflow have nothing to with the kind of basic boolean operation, it is the kind how the build tree is built. The tree adds every operation linear (in the same coordinate system, with hand added exceptions maybe) with every kind of boolean and feature operation. Often it only Add and Cut are there for simplifying, but the are not per se spared in the PartDesign workflow.
Not really better, at least i think.
