It looks like conan is 'broken' in the CI scripts.   appveyor.yml appears to be getting the latest 2.0.9 version of conan, which I think changes 'conan user' to 'conan remote login'  (or something like that).  The appveyor.yml scripts should be updated to work with the new conan 2.0.x versions or downgrade the pip install conan to something like pip install conan==1.60.2 or whatever was the last working version.

Thanks.  On my MAC, fn-clink, option-click, and command-click all set the Y axis (ordinate).  ctrl-click sets the X axis (abscissa).

Here btw is the debug.log file from Documents/quoFEM

Is there a reason that to run a Python analysis, one has to select OpenSeesPY as the analysis engine?  This does not seem to make sense?  Should the menu open perhaps read Python Script?

I was trying to follow the documentation on adding a custom UQ engine at

https://nheri-simcenter.github.io/quoFEM-Documentation/common/user_manual/usage/desktop/Configuring_CustomUQ.html#lblcustomuq

and tried to follow the "linked here" link in this section
As an example, UQpy has been implemented in the customized backend–the source code for the customized UqRunner class can be found in the SimCenterBackendApplications repository, linked here, and is also availble in the {Path to quoFEM app contents}/applications/performUQ/other directory.but the link is broken.

Two comments on the Export to PDF button:

(1) It silently writes the file even when it already exists -- clobbering existing files

(2) The box for the file name is labeled "Export folder:" as opposed to export file.  If I used a folder name, would it silently clobber my
whole folder?

I change the default python path in the Preferences pane to /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.8/3.8.6_1/bin
and I was able to run example 1.  Presumably this fixes the other examples.  It would be good to update
the error message in the output window if the python version number is incorrect from 'exit code is 1' to something
indicating that the use needs to provide a path to a compatible version of python.
