KMotionCNC Screen Editor - PC VC Exmple Dir

Post by roberto.gotti » Fri Apr 03, 2026 12:47 pm

Hi Tom,
I found an unclear condition.
If I delete PC VC Example folder from my installation there is no way to run KMotionScreenEditor.Exe.
I can erase all files contained in this folder exept resource.h and KMotionCNC.rc.
I assume the application looks for these files in the PC VC Example directory instead of the installation directory.
It seems like the same problem KMotionCNC.exe had a few releases ago.
Is it possible to patch?

Thanks

Hi Roberto,

Here is a patch for V5.4.1 that should also check for those files in the same folder as KMotionCNCScreenEditor.exe

KMotionCNCScreenEditor.exe

HTH

Hi Tom,
I can confirm that the patch works and the application starts correctly even after deleting the PC VC Examples folder.
Unfortunately, the PC VC Examples\KMotionCNC\Screens\Backup folder is recreated every time you edit and save a .scr file.
It would be perfect if the Backup folder was created in the same folder where the modified scr file resides.
But this is a minor issue.
Thanks!
