The authors of the "AnimationFreeCAD" Addon have specified an invalid path to their icon in their InitGui.py file, and then not provided an icon in the correct section of their package.xml file -- so FreeCAD is trying to display a file that does not exist.

Why are they allowed to not fix this, but be included in the main list in FC??

Seems an easy fix, and has been quite a while...

The alternative is that this addon is simply not available. Nobody can be forced to update their addon contributions.

Is that want you want or do you prefer a simple fix by the user? :mrgreen:

Sorry, my bad... I thought it was in default install, and I had uninstalled and re-installed to get rid of message.

I installed on another Mac, and it's not, so... how do I COMPLETELY uninstall FC on Mac??... I looked on my Mac for the config files, but couldn't find them.

Thanks
