Arm v1.75 pre-release: save settings to file works, reading doesn't allow selection #15

Closed mark-hoy closed 9 months ago

You can easily save the settings to "text.txt" and a file is created ➜ ~ ls -lt text.txt -rw-r--r--@ 1 mark staff 2567 Jan 8 15:43 text.txt

However, you can't load the configuration file as the selection of "text.txt" isn't selectable.

Click on Show Options and set the Filter to All Files (*)

Ah, I see that now. The default filter seems to be a *.ngc while a saved configuration file appends a .txt Maybe the saved file should be XXX.ngc to match up with the configuration file filter.

This is an upstream choice in F-Engrave. The save settings by default saves as a .txt file, where read settings prompts for an .ngc file, but allows for All Files. Changing this behaviour would be Scorch's decision.

Closing this as we have a simple workaround that does not involve diverging from Scorch's upstream version.
