Problem with PROBE tab after running a program was created by RoberCNC
Hi all!
I came having problems when trying to run a new probe routine after running a program in QtDragon, a "cannot switch pages while in AUTO mode" message appears but only affects to te PROBE tab all the rest seems to work fine.
I try to solve ending programs with M30, pushing STOP button, switching to MDI before MANUAL mode but no way.
I´m running linux uspace 2.9.0~pre1, kernel 6.1.0-28-rt-amd64 in LMDE 6 Faye (Cinnamon 6.4.8) and using BasicProbe
Can it been fixed easyly or it would be better to upgrade to a new fresh realese?

It would be normal to select MDI mode to use the probe after running a program.
You probably can't select tools, offsets or file in auto mode too.
let me know if I've misunderstood the problem.

Hi Chris.
I tried creating a Probe routine in MDI mode, just in case I was doing it manually and it was my mistake. I'm getting the same problem in both MDI and MAN modes. I've attached screenshots from both modes.
Thanks a lot.

Ok I see the probe screen is showing but the tab selected is main.
I also see that problem is master branch. I'll investigate.

I try in the while a fresh 2.9.8 installation and the problem persist but it returns an a error window with this messagge:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/widgets/basic_probe.py", line 261, in probe_btn_clicked
self.start_probe(cmd)

if int(self.lineEdit_probe_tool.text()) != STATUS.get_current_tool():
~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' "
And the attached report once I close the window.

Ok the fix was pretty simple and i have pushed it to 2.9 and master.
i don't know when a new release of 2.9 will be as there was just one done.
it is possible to add a customization to your current system to fix if you are interested or you can edit a file on your system to fix it.

Great!
Yes, I would be interested to fix it, if you would be so kindly to guide me on how to do it.
Thank you very much Crhis!

I assume you are using qtdragon_hd:
Ok in your config folder there should be a folder: qtvcp/screens/qtdragon_hd
In that folder add the file included here, name it qtdragon_hd_handler.py
Then run as normal.
If any thing goes wrong just remove or rename the file.
