Auto nesting broken, Linux

Closed
Bug

Latest version as of today -- auto nesting does nothing, no matter which effort I choose (any of the built-ins or custom efforts). This is on Linux only -- nesting works well on Windows.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, running JetCAD3 AppImage

Haha sounds good! Last week I did a bunch of work regarding to Linux trying to find something definitive around this issue which I did not but I did find several things I fixed anyways. A couple where already on my backlog and a few ones that where a surprise. Looks like throwing the kitchen sink at it did fix your trouble lol

Here's proof that all is working. Took 2m 25s to nest 50 pieces. 4th gen Core i5 quad core, so it's a real old CPU. Only reason it hangs around is because Linux is far less demanding than Windows and still runs nice and snappy on the ol' i5-4690k. (Oh and building replacement computers right now is frightfully expensive. Once the AI bubble pops we might be able to get components for sane prices again?)

Awesome! Windows is greedy. When you get a chance I would like you to do the same nest on your windows machine and report back here with the specs of your windows machine and the nest times for each. Would be very interested in collecting that data. Would also be nice if you can attach the jc3 file here so I can benchmark on my test rigs

Yeah, too expensive but I'm not 100% sure the AI bubble will pop like many people think it will. It has massive implications towards productivity when used well (many people have no idea how to use it well) and I'm thinking there's a real possibility Terafab turns out close to stated and increased productivity catches up with the shortages in the next couple years which will both lower the costs that are paining us with PC hardware prices and also continue to keep AI on an exponential growth path with more access to compute. None the less, AI is putting us in to a future that will be incredibly volatile in either a positive or a negative way. It's gonna amplify everything and it's anyone's random guess as to how it turns out. My take on it anyways, could be wrong.
