Thanks Hood. I'll have to copy them into the same location on my screen development computer and see what's there.

Hi Folks,

I've found these files, but can't open them ? Even with EditPlus i can't extract any obvious info.

We have a machine running offsite at a subcontract facility, and I have a complete copy of the mach3 directory. We're looking at setting up a second machine and I'd like to use similar fixture and tool setups for the development.

Any tips on looking up the data ?

OK, I've just saved version 70 of my most recent file, and after closing it, opening an unrelated file and then going back to the file menu it wasn't there on the recent file list !
In fact the most up to date file on the recent files list was 57, which is quite a while ago !

Still no further info about what I did to make it happen though !

Hi Klaus,

I'm beginnig to doubt my sanity, as I can't reproduce it at all now. The only indication is that as attached screenshot, the file history list is not correct. the last file edited was version 49, and the previous ones would be sequential before that, not as shown on the file history list.
I'm pondering on whether the list only gets messed up on reboot, as it has just maintained the list correctly when the editor was closed and re-started.

nope - just tried that and it's fine !

I really have nothing further to add - it all seems fully sort out now......

I'll wait for any re-occurance and let you know. Sorry I can't offer more examples !

Machscreen Screen Designer / Machscreen file name history

Anyone else seen discrepancies in file name histories ?

When I'm workign on screen sets the file history shown in the file menu doesn't always seem right ? Several times recently I've opened up the editor and looked in the list and it is very out of date, definitely not showing the list of files saved/accessed in my last editting session.

Also there's a macro command that has recently been made available to get the screen set filename (GetActiveScreenSetName() ). This is dead handy, as it allows me to show on screen the loaded screen set asa reminder. Somehow the screen sets produced by MachScreen don't always respond to this command with the right identifier, reporting earlier filenames (possibly one or two versions earlier) Opeing and saving the file using Mach3screen fixes this.

None of this is important, more of interest than concern !

No worries - thanks for your efforts to produce and support the editor, it's great !

All I need to do is produce some satisfactory screens and code for our bespoke automation system now.

Many thanks Klaus - it worked a treat !

Just a thought - I'm an old fashioned keyboard user, and have noticed that I need to use the mouse to select from the drop down menus. For example, I can press Alt-F to get the file menu, but then there are no keyboard shortcuts to the menu items, and the cursor keys still move around the last selected object on the screen layout rather than scrolling up and down the list.

I'm no windows programmer, so I have no idea how big a deal this would be !

It's not particularly important, and I'm delighted with the editor as it is.

Hi Klaus,

I'm getting a 404 from your V1.44.5.exe download page ?
