Inline LogixNG add block item different on two systems
#logixng
Windows 11 or Linux Mint 21.1
JMRI 5.10
?
I take my "panel file" home from the museum to work on it locally. I run JMRI on Linux Mint at home. I was working on creating an inline LogixNG whose purpose was to set the value field of a lot of blocks on the layout having been triggered by an icon touch on a Panel Editor panel. That all worked fine at home. I created a few of the add/item/block steps in a conditionalNG. Then I copied the file to a USB drive and ambled down to the museum to complete the task on site.
?
But much to my astonishment and grumpiness the add/item/block window is different at the museum than at home. The rightmost block in that window is missing. This is where one gets to type in the value that is to be applied to the value field of the block. It's the same whether I'm adding a new line or editing an existing one that I had created at home.
?
I don't get it. Why is this different? JMRI version is the same at both locations.

Re: JMRI Profile File Written With Zero Bytes
Yes sorry for the semantic confusion on the file name - it is the layout panel file - NOT configuration settings aka profile. The behavior is exactly as you described - it prompted me to save and I said yes. The "warn" log level makes it seem more important than info - so good to know that is normal. Can't remember if I was quick to shut down - but the panel pro dialog stays up for a few more seconds normally and then closes. While I never shutdown before that window closes - I assume sometimes things get stuck and the rest is history. And i figured that it was most like a RPI (linux) thing. not flushing properly. It causes more stress trying to remember how to fix it than the actual fix. On Mon, Apr 7, 2025 at 1:56?PM Dave Sand via <ds=dfm.sandsys.org@groups.io> wrote:

Re: Double light mast only changes diverging
Steve, This one is easy. ?If ANY turnout is thrown, the SML route is diverging. See??for details about the "Basic" signal system. Dave Sand ----- Original message ----- From: stevemac <steveo@...> Subject: [jmriusers] Double light mast only changes diverging Date: Monday, April 07, 2025 12:33 PM I created/uploaded a small test case to show the issue I'm having with my layout. ? I may be confused but I'd expect both of these incoming masts to display aspect similarly. The top row works as expected based on which route is clear based on exiting turnout. The bottom row for diverging works differently. |

Re: JMRI Profile File Written With Zero Bytes
Paul, The "compare" process does a temporary store and compares that to the last loaded xml data file. ?If there are differences, then there have been changes since the last store. ?The default settings in Preferences -> Shutdown are to notify you that have changes that have not been stored. ?You are then given the option of continuing the shutdown (discarding the changes) or to do a store before the shutdown continues. ?This has no impact on the actual store process. The symptoms indicate that Linux was not able to flush the file cache before the Pi shutdown. Note: ?I assume that the "profile file" is the layout data xml file, aka "panel" file. ?"profile file" normally refers to the "profile.xml" file that contains the connection and start up settings. Dave Sand ----- Original message ----- From: Paul Wash <paul.wash@...> Subject: [jmriusers] JMRI Profile File Written With Zero Bytes Date: Sunday, April 06, 2025 4:50 PM Hopefully this can help others who experience the same problem. This has happened 3 or 4 times in the last 5 years - so not often. When opening JMRI, you get the dreaded unexpected EOF error loading the profile. Sure enough - the profile file is zero bytes. ? Easy fix - in the active jmri-profile folder there is a backupPanels folder under the railroad name. Simply copy that file back under the railroad folder - rename to whatever the profile file is called in your settings. Hopefully it is recent enough you didn't lose much of anything. The backup interval looks like when the profile is saved. All shutdowns have been nominal. No idea why it happens...Maybe it's an RPI thing, maybe it took to long to write and I did a system shutdown before it was ready? Who knows. ? The folder structure is below. ? ? For more info - Specs: RPI 5 bookworm with all latest updates running JMRI 5.10. The log file is below - it shows whenever this happens there is a compare failure. Guess that writes out 0 bytes and keeps on truckin... ? ? ? |

Re: How to remove block assignments from LE tracks
开云体育Ken,?I found that out too, that blank can not be selected but the characters need to be deleted instead. Then Done.? Dave,? Where I went wrong was in trying to do the List and the Table deletions all in one session.? I’ll assume by creating those conflicts, ?is why PanelPro won’t fully launch. It’s hung trying to resolve missing information.? For the sake of sanity I will step back one version to remove the blocks properly. Double the work but no hair pulling involved. Thanks again, guys. ? John ?Bauchiero - NCE PH-Pro & PowerCab, Pi4, DCC-EX - JMRI 5.11.4, Java 17.0.12 On Apr 7, 2025, at 7:25?AM, Ken Heywood via groups.io <kheywood@...> wrote:

Re: How to remove block assignments from LE tracks
On the block list, I found that you cannot just select the blank on that list.
You need to clear the field by deleting the characters, then click "done".
