Hi all, I have converted to QTplasmac and I'm having some trouble starting a cut with a file. I get the error, multiple not allowed.

Can you clear the error message, and show the whole screen?
I am guessing that you have recently updated, because the labels for the error message are correct (they werent a few days ago).
However, I have seen something very similar before when there was a problem with Qt's file manager.
It may also be helpful if you can click the backup button in the parameters/settings tab (depends on screen size) and post that here as well.

Before what?
If you had an older version of QtPlasmaC, you may have had a version with the file manager bug that Chris fixed.
You may have to go to those files in your file manager and remove the extra . in them. It's complaining because right now your files are named FILENAME..ngc instead of filename.ngc. After you get them straightened out, it should go away.

Thanks that worked. All my files get those long chains for some reason. I’ll need to start deleting them when a bring it from sheet cam.
I’m missing the cut length button.

also, when you make sure there are no ".." in the file names, edit "qtplasmac.prefs" and change this:
to this:
That will also help clean up some of the file system stuff.
[BOOK_KEEPING]
last_loaded_directory = /media/wade/ESD-USB/Small Misc items
RecentPath_0 = /media/wade/ESD-USB/Small Misc items/F-bomb bottle opener..ngc..ngc..ngc
style_QSS_Path = DEFAULTto this:
[BOOK_KEEPING]
last_loaded_directory =
RecentPath_0 =

Assuming you're coming over from plasmac, you can just copy your old buttons from the <machine_name>.ini file to the new qt .ini file.
Or maybe you mean single cut? It will need its own new button, it's not as it was on plasmac. Here are the available buttons:

to get single cut for qtplasmac, just add this to the new .ini file:
Where "n" is the button number you want it to be.
BUTTON_n_NAME = SINGLE\CUT
BUTTON_n_CODE = single-cutWhere "n" is the button number you want it to be.

One last question, where do I find my default manual jog setting? I always need to bump it up to 200.
Thanks!
Thanks!
