Re: Imported furniture libraries don't show up
Just installed Sweethome 3D v5.7 coming with Ubuntu 18.04-beta2.

I cannot import .sh3f libraries - it always gives a "...successfully imported" message, yet no new furniture elements appear.

Clearly some import error goes undetected, because in the directory .eteks/sweethome3d/work/.../ some temporary file temp1678*.sh3f gets written and remains there even after exiting and restarting. No messages are showing up on console.

This also happens after erasing the /usr/share/sweethome3d/furniture/ directory. No luck wiping out configuration, using different language, importing zip instead of sh3d, etc.

It didn't happen with Sweethome3d 5.5.2 coming with Ubuntu 17.10.
Anyway I tried to install the 5.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 (still with Java 9.0.4) and the import problem is still there (including the stale temporary work file): it may be due to some bizarre Java library issue, not SweetHome3D's fault.
