Yes it is a Windows "feature".
I think that a simple turnaround could be adding menu shortcuts for some options such as: Data->"All time constraints", "All space constraints" etc.
Maybe these shortcuts could be set by user?

Thank you and best regards


 

Hello.
I'd suggest to add the option to "Bring to front" the Menu Window (i.e. the one opening at Fet start) when it's superimposed by other windows. It could be done by clicking the Menu Windows to activate it, if possible.
In my experience it should be very comfortable when working with small screens (laptops) and having the need to check the generated timetable taking several windows opened at the same time (teachers, rooms, students etc.).
At moment it seems that I have to close or move off screen the other windows just to access the option in the Menu Window.
I don't know if that was already covered before. In this case excuse me.

Best regards and thanks for this great software.

Hello. I still have to run on older Macs. Occasionally I compile with Qt 5.13.0, it seems to allow running newer Fet versions on old MacOs.
I just compiled v.6.18.1. I'd share it (hoping to be helpful to other users) so please let me know if it could be uploaded somewhere.
Regards

Many thanks!!!

Buongiorno sono Anna Moscatelli sono stata incaricata quest'anno di fare orario per la mia scuola primaria, vorrei scaricare FET ma io ho macOS 10.12.6 e la versione per MAC mi richiede l'11 e non so come fare per poter utilizzare il programma potete aiutarmi?

Buongiorno. Ho FET 6.15 compilato per MacOS Sierra 10.12.
(en: I have FET 6.15 compiled to work in MacOS Sierra 10.12)

Hello.  Is it possible to make "older versions" of FET for MacOS available for download?
I'd need the last (compiled) version compatible with MacOS 10.14.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hello. In our Academy we avoid lessons on Saturday but not in any case.
I have set a break on Saturday to exclude that day from timetabling.
Now it happens that I have to place just one lesson on Saturday.
I'm going to set "teacher's not available time" on Saturday for all teachers except one (I don't want FET placing other lessons on Saturday).
Is there a quick way to do this without adding a lot of new constraints?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Excuse my obscure questions. I attached 2 pictures as examples:
- PIC_1 shows the result I wish in teachers timetabling.
- PIC_2 shows how 'academic activity' overlaps next activity

First of all thanks a lot for ALL your help.
I got into troubles:

1- created 'academic' activity for teacher Carl: no students, 2 hours.

2- set 'two activities are consecutive'  for Carl:
'subject 1' and 'academic'
Generate. OK. I get 'academic' consecutive to 'subject 1', Carl, same day.

3- set another 'two activities are consecutive'  for Carl:
'subject 2' and 'academic'
(please note that teachers have different subjects/activities)
Generate. ERROR. Can't schedule 'academic' activity (that's just one 'academic' related to Carl)

Tried with 'two activities are grouped' with same issues.

As suggested tried with 'activities occupy max time slots...',  'subject 1 + academic',  max slots=2
but I got 'academic' in different day (should be consecutive each day of Carl's lessons).

Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance

Please what is the correct way to assign to a teacher 2 hours of 'academic activity' to be consecutive (before of after) to 'lesson' hours?
Thanks in advance

Hello. I have a possible weird question.
We have a particular organization of teachers' activities.

In one working day:
Teachers 'A' have 3 hours of lesson plus 2 hours of academic activities.
Teachers 'B' have 6 hours of laboratory plus 2 hours of academic activities.
Academic activities should overlap.

Desired result:
Teachers' timetable should report all hours.
Students' timetable can avoid to report academic activities.

I doubt this could be done but I ask anyway because I'm a newbie!

It should be great to get similar instruction to compile the last version of "Fet to Excel by Roberto Trevisan" for MacOS (if possible)

Thanks. Yes I have a lot to learn about this powerful application.

Indeed I would that FET place activities starting always from 1st slot every day.
Instead I notice activities beginning at random slot even when all slots are free. That's why I was thinking to constraint preferred starting time for all activities.
Is there an easier way?

Ok, thanks a lot!
