Postprocessor list empty in Toolbar

[artisanicview]

I do want to modify a postprocessor and unfortunately I don't understand why their are not shown on the postprocessor popup list from the toolbar? They do appear on the ApplicationPreferences/Cam Export/Configuration used for new drawings, as shown bellow. How I can fix this issue?

Hi,

First:
- Your QCAD/CAM GUI is customized in a very peculiar way.
The CAM toolbar is best placed under the Options Toolbar.
The Options Toolbar is best placed alone and aligned at the left because it will expand depending the current tool options.
I see no need to place the Widgets Toolbar horizontally and in front of the Options Toolbar.

- It is not a good idea to move all the standard included postprocessors to a subfolder called '_Other'.
On a next update they will reappear in the intended folder 'postprocessors'.
For the moment I can not come up with a method for excluding standard postprocessors from the list.
Best is to preset your default configuration for new drawings.


In the App.Prefs. SCM1 and SCM_2 are listed but that is probably based on the available files. (GCodeBase.js is not listed by default)
Is there any error message on the Command Line History?
This Widget should be displayed because it is marked as active in your Widgets Toolbar ...
Perhaps you need to make the Command Line box higher to see more than one line of text.

I expect you didn't alter anything in GCodeBase.js (See header).
I also expect that both SCM posts are directly based on GCodeBase.js.

Have you defined any and a distinct display name for both SCM scripts? An empty string will not list them.
Does moving one of the SCM's to the subfolder '_Other' fixes the empty postprocessors list?
Close QCAD and reload it after you moved the file.
Ifso then the one you moved away has an error in it.
Also try adding back a standard post like GCodeMM.js for example.

It might have been helpful if you attached both custom postprocessors.

I deleted the QCAD3.ini from the "AppData\Roaming\QCAD" folder and started Qcad again with the default values.
I reinstalled everything from scratch, placed the two postprocessors into the postprocessors folders and still not working.

Please attach your post processor files as these are relevant in helping you. Thanks,

I reinstalled everything from scratch, placed the two postprocessors into the postprocessors folders and still not working.

Then we need to have a look at the content of the JS files ...
Sometimes it may be a simple point or comma or it may be looking for a needle in a haystack.
Otherwise it may be obvious at first glance for a trained eye.

I think the problem was a missing comma at the end of a new line that I created.
