How are you importing your home-written decoder profile ?
The way I've always done locally developed decoder files is as follows:?
a)? Place my home-written decoder file in the folder for local decoders for the specific JMRI connection profile.? On Windows, this is typically:?
C:\users\myname\jmri\JMRI-Profile-Name\decoders
( The default "JMRI-Profile-Name" is "My_JMRI_Railroad" )
?
b)? From the JMRI menus, run the command "rebuild decoder index".? ?This can take quite a while to complete - several minutes.? ?That installs the decoder file into the list of decoders known to JMRI.??

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I wanted to import my own decoder profile not one of the standard ones already supplied with the software and yes I followed the import procedures.
I did not update version 4.26 to 5.10, but did a fresh install in both cases. My previous version (I think) was 4.16 and I uninstalled this first, then installed 5.10. When I couldn't import my decoder profile, I uninstalled it, and then installed 4.26
and everything worked fine. So still puzzled why 5.10 would not work properly.
Regards
Roger
