No supporting writer for all export formats
Hello, I get this error message "No supporting writer" for all file formats I tried.
Info: Mayo 0.10.0, Qt 6.9.1, OpenCascade 7.9.1.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Hello what's the input file format? Can you please attach the file to this thread?
The input file format is STEP and it happens with pretty much all files I tried here. But here is an example.
I have seen another ticket with a similar issue mentioning a problem with the OpenCascade version. In my case, as I mentioned earlier, it's the latest version available, 7.9.1.
Using latest develop version(built against Qt 6.5.2 + OpenCascade 7.9.0) I couldn't reproduce the problem with the STEP file you provided. Export to PLY and OBJ formats were fine. Did you try with the pre-built binaries in the Releases page?
Check also the listed export(write) formats in Help->System Information... dialog
I am on Arch Linux and am using this AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mayo-git I don't see anything special in the PKGBUILD, it seems to build with default options.
As I mentioned, we have more recent versions of Qt and OpenCascade on Arch, so I don't know if it could make a difference.
This is what is mentioned in the System Information dialog:
Mayo: v0.10.0 commit:43f79d6 revnum:1421 64bit
OS: Arch Linux [linux version 6.16.1-arch1-1]
Current CPU Architecture: x86_64

Import(read) formats:

Export(write) formats:
STEP IGES OCCBREP STL VRML GLTF OBJ OFF PLY Image
So the export formats are all listed, but I consistently get the "No supporting writer" message box whatever I try for exporting. Odd. Could it come from a change in OpenCascade 7.9.1, or maybe Qt related for some reason? Any way you can think of to further debug this?
Don't know about the mayo AUR package, I'm not the author See other instructions to build on ArchLinux: https://github.com/fougue/mayo/wiki/Build-instructions-for-Linux#arch-linux
These instructions are used by CI build, see also: https://github.com/fougue/mayo/blob/develop/.github/workflows/ci_linux_arch.yml
Again that would be interesting to check if you have this problem with Mayo v0.9.0 AppImage in the Releases page
The AUR package does nothing special, it builds mayo pretty much as recommended, it just doesn't enable libassimp but that doesn't explain the issue.
I tried building mayo manually (and with libassimp), but got the same issue. I then figured there was a CLI for mayo (mayo-conv), and conversion works perfectly fine with it. So, I suspect something to do with Qt rather than with OpenCascade.
Then I tested on another machine (but also on Arch), and got the same issue. But then, since it increasingly looked like a Qt issue, I tested on a X11 session (note that I otherwise use Wayland only). And... would you believe it, exporting in mayo from the GUI works plenty fine... on X11. Not on Wayland.
Not a big issue for now as I discovered the CLI, which works fine. But probably something to investigate for the future.
