Custom Button File Pathway Issue

[Tim G]

Well, I managed to mess some things up with my custom buttons in KmotionCNC again... I know just enough to be dangerous! I was cleaning house a bit, getting rid of old C files that weren't in use for my router setup anymore. I decided to change the name of a folder I had most of my machine's C files in, then had to change the pathway for all of the associated files in the Tool Setup Screen. After doing so, some of the custom buttons I created or modified in the Screen Editor threw an error, showing the old pathway to the C file it was supposed to execute. That made sense, so I went in the Screen Editor to adjust the pathway, but after doing so and getting the buttons to work again, KmotionCNC promptly "forgets" the pathway the next time I open it up and throws the same errors all over again. At this point, I have to redefine to file pathway for 3 of my buttons every time I run my machine. Any ideas why it keeps reverting to the old file pathway like that? The buttons will work repeatedly after changing the file pathways, but as soon as I go into the Screen Editor again after exiting out, or I shut off KmotionCNC and open it again, it reverts to the old button pathways.

Hi Tim,

Did you save the Screen Script file in the Screen Editor before exiting?

Hi Tim,

Did you save the Screen Script file in the Screen Editor before exiting?

I believe so. I clicked "Set" for the pathway selection, and then clicked the other "Set" button for all of the button settings as a whole. Is that what you mean?

I added a couple of pictures for reference, but decided to do a quick screencast video to show you what's happening as well as a little more about the backstory that seemed to cause all of these issues. Hopefully this link to the video works okay: https://app.screencastify.com/watch/zeV ... 5Axw5DYZ8n

No. The first Set just sends the changes to KMotionCNC to see how it looks. The 2nd Set is for setting a line of script to be used for a Control.

Its Write Script on the Main Tab.

Perfect, thanks again, Tom! Just tried it...That really got me out of the woods. I'm slowly learning this stuff, but I always seem to forget a few key tidbits and know just enough to cause myself problems, ha!
