Couple questions about QTPYVCP

i get some error messages in place of what i imagine would be alarms. not a big deal, just wanted to let you know.

LinuxCNC only provides messages as two levels, error, and info, so there is not really any straight forward way to indicate the actual severity. Since most of the errors are actually more like warnings, I guess it might be best to treat all LCNC errors as warnings ..

I figured out the source of my error messages.

I had my display set to vcp1.

I switched it to

display = qtpyvcp
Vcp = vcp1.

It must not have been loading the library it was looking for

sometimes i get errors like this.

from this mdi button
G10L20P0Z[#5223 - #<offsetLabel>]

how do i decipher it?

TurBoss also reported that same error today, I'm not sure what is causing it, but I don't think it has anything to do with your MDIButton. It seems to be an intermittent error in the DBus desktop notifications server. Thanks for reporting, I will see if I can reproduce it and find a solution.

No problem, I don't want you to think I'm pestering you.

No, no not at all! Error reports are very helpful.

Is there a signal to refresh the gcode display box?

I have a signal to double click in the file list opens the editor. After saving It runs the edited code fine but the widget doesn't update.

Are you using the build in editer, or an external editer like Gedit?

I think it's called gcode edit widget

I'll have to update and look for it. I was using pluma
