HueForge v0.9.0-beta-1 Known Issues

A running list of known issues and their fix status

Known Issues and fix Status

Updated: 04/18/2025

• Selecting Sliders on either Core requires actually covering part of them with the selection box but the highlighting implies they are all captured.

  • Workaround is to make sure your selection box goes across the entire Core region.

  • Fixed in next build, selection is now based only on the height of the selection box and does not require you to actually intersect the Slider flag itself with the selection box

• When turning off Edit Image in Color Match, the image does not revert to un-edited

  • Fixed - workaround is to change to Standard Brightness Compensation mode before unchecking Edit Image

• When loading a new image, sometimes the aspect ratio of the image doesn’t change and the new image takes the aspect ratio of the previous image

  • Turning off Options→Show Image at Print Size fixes this issue

  • Currently unable to replicate this issue, I believe it is a race condition. Reloading the project solves it.

• Some MacOS users report crashes when trying to start v0.9.0-beta-1. This appears to be an order-of-operations issue when popping up the request dialog for permissions before the main window has been initialized.

  • This has been fixed and I have updated this single change up to the MacOS version today April 9th. (I will not rev the version since it isn’t an issue for most users)

• Some Linux distros - (Manjaro for sure) require installation of Qt6SerialPort to run. This shouldn’t be the case as the AppImage should include that library, will investigate.

• Some linux Distros crash trying to create the GL Context

  • Preliminarily fixed. A Fedora 42 user with the same error reports success. Now waiting on confirmation.

• Error in the Blending up algorithm is not providing enough distinct shades of the darker color

  • This is fixed pending a final validation print. It is much better than the v0.8.1 or the v0.9.0-beta-1 version. This might justify a short v0.9.0-beta-2 period.

  • Blending up AND Backlighting have been revisited and are both significantly better.

  • This was fixed again, when I accidentally broke regular blending.

• Sometimes moving the top slider does not update the mesh height.

  • Fixed but I don’t like the fix.

• Sometimes dropping a new color on the Mesh Core does not update the color match until it is moved.

• When converting filament to Image Filament (so you can modify it without changing the library filament) blending changes significantly.

  • Fixed in dev build.

• MacOS Browse Projects is not showing anything while Browse Example Projects does.

  • Workaround, Preferences→Add Directory Permissions
    Assign permissions to your Documents folder as a whole. Then use Browse Projects.

  • Solution has been found - this was a bug, I wasn’t getting permissions properly.

• When changing Base Thickness in Standard Mode, it does not properly register the movement of the sliders (they do move up, but they don’t update the mesh). Changing modes clears the issue.

• Very log describe text can exceed the desktop space.

  • It has been reformatted to be resizeable and scrollable if it gets to long
