CloudCompare forum

Thanx @CloudyCloud for the suggestion but I am confused. In a previous post you said, "Why don't you install the official release version instead of compiling from AUR?" But even with SNAP turned on in Pamac, I do not have an official release beyond AUR, SNAP or Flatpak. Then in another po...

Now trying a snap of CloudCompare. Almost a victory? $ cloudcompare.CloudCompare QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread Gtk-Message: 21:37:50.887: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 21:37:50.922: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk...
