Hi Art,
I tried loading rc11 over rc10 on my win2k machine and the program
overwrote my macros and my xml file. I backed the entire mach2 dir,
so I tried to restore my xml and macros. things looked o.k. until I
loaded a file with macros in it. The program put up 5 or six error
messages, something about a scriptparse error and others. Is this a
problem you are aware of, or would you like more info. which files
should I try to restore into my mach2 dir?
Thanks
Todd

Hi Art,

I copied my xml and the 5 macros that I use and it seems to work.
If I copy the macro directory it crashes.

Todd:

It would really help if you can find out what macro causes this trouble and
send it to me so I can correct it. Steve has a problem where he gets an init
error as well, only he gets it once per session. I get the feeling some old
macro has a fault in it and won't run. If I can find out what , I will
correct it.

Thanks,

Hi Todd - glad you posted this, I'm getting to think there's only me
having these problems! Joke - of course it's not just me, either
people aren't posting their bugs, or emailing Art direct ( hence the
odd offline emails I send get bounced due to "exceeded quota")

I've seen the parse error several times, I think it's due to
additional parameters being added to the XML file, that didn't exist
in previous versions. I like the XML "ini" file - it's far more
reliable than registry entries but I think it needs a bit more work on
its implementation. As it stands - it gets overwritten, destroying all
your settings, if you copy the old version you get parse errors on
"new" features that have settings in the XML file!!

One for you Art <G>.

I think its more related to the multithreading of the script engine which
was just turned on. Can't quite see what yet, but as Todd said, when he
copied in the old macro's, the parsing error went away. As to XML, I like it
better mnyself, certainly makes troubleshooting easier. There is undoubtably
some things that need cleaning up somewhere, but I can honestly tell you
that I have no real errors reported of the xml forgetting anything the way
the registry did.
Now if I could just get that Lathe offset down.... ;)

No - right on brother!!

Will have to wait for tomorrow for further reports - well past
machining curfew here ;)

You could always run it though - you have the lathe, file and tool
offsets<G>.

Hi-
I am thinking this happened because mach2 overwrote 1/2 of my
macros, I am using #40-45, when mach2 installed it overwrote #40
through 42or43. These are the #'s that have a predefined macro, I
added 44&45. When mach2 installs or upgrades to rc11 it overwrites
my macros, my xml, my lay out, everything except for things I have
added, like my registration file and the macros With numbers that are
not the same as preinstalled ones. I have reinstalled rc11 8 or 10
times and every time it overwrites. There used to be a way to save
your settings to a file, is this the xml backup now? I'm using win2k.
Todd

Todd:

Yes, backup your xml file before installing. I will look again at my
installers ettings, but I'm sure I set it to "do not overwrite", but this
seems to fail on some systems. I will see if I can find the error.

Thanks,

My fault. The 40 series of macro's was not set to "do not overwrite", but
the .xml's were, so they SHOULDN'T overwrite. This meets up with murphy's
law somewhere though.

Hi-
Sounds like were gaining on it! The xml's overwrite on my win 2k
and xp machines. These are on the same lan, could it be a setting of
mine?
