Latest FreeCAD (1.0.0) breaks KiCad import script

[WallieEverest]

The KiCad PCB Import Tool button is known to be disabled when first launching the macro. This is remedied by relaunching the macro. The fix works up through FreeCAD 0.21.2. Unfortunately, FreeCAD 1.0.0 is behaving differently, and the import button never becomes enabled.
{Bug fix request}
Tested configuration is Windows 11, Python 3.11, and both portable versions (.7z) of FreeCAD.

• FreeCAD_1.0.0-conda-Windows-x86_64-py311.7z
• FreeCAD-0.21.2-Windows-x86_64.7z
  Note: I work on a company-managed machine and do not have admin rights by default. This may impact how Python libraries (PySide) are parsed. This configuration is becoming more common for users and may not reflect the environment where open-source testing is typically performed. For example, the admin/user PATH environments often need consideration after a software install.

I see WebGui is not available. Therefore this fails.

try:
	import FreeCAD
	import WebGui
	import KiCADImporterToolDialog	#import for KiCAD Import Tool
	APP_CONTEXT = "FreeCAD"

ps. my knowledge of python is 1/10 so take this into account

commenting import WebGui solve the issue. This is only use to open help page.

Confirmed this suggested change patches Python macro to continue working with FreeCAD 1.0.0.

File: ExportOpenEMSDialog.py

I fixed the issue by replacing
import WebGui
and
WebGui.openBrowser(f"{os.path.dirname(file)}\documentation\help\index.html")

by

import webbrowser
and
webbrowser.open(f"{os.path.dirname(file)}\documentation\help\index.html")

[krissn0]

should be rather:
webbrowser.open(f"{os.path.dirname(__file__)}\\documentation\\help\\index.html")
