Title: Mandelbulber2 error message "Fractal ui file can't be loaded"
Post by: Pete on July 22, 2016, 05:47:35 PM
Hello I’ve just downloaded Mandelbulber2 and am keen to explore the examples and tutorial material.

When trying to view certain formulae, I get the following message:

   Error: Can't open file /Users/Home/share/mandelbulber2/qt_data/fractal_benesi_T1_pine_tree.ui
   Fractal ui file can't be loaded

Looking in the share folder, I can see the file in question is absent from my  ‘qt_data’ folder.

I found references to files that look as if they could be the missing ones from my ‘qt_data’ folder at this location:

   https://github.com/buddhi1980/mandelbulber2/tree/master/mandelbulber2/qt_data

However, I don’t know how to convert these files (text files containing code) into something I can put in my ‘qt_data’ folder. Could you please advise how to download the full set of formulae or how to compile the text files at the above location.

Best regards Pete Nunn

Hi Peter,

Have you tried a fresh download and install?

What operating system are you using?
