Hey all,

I just upgraded from GSender 1.5.1 to 1.5.4.  
I took a backup of my GSender and Machine settings before the upgrade and then when to Import them after the update.  
The gSender settings imported no problem but when I went to import the machine settings file I got a message “Error 53 - Setting Disabled”. I have done this export and import after pretty much every update and never seen this.

Things look okay and the machine is working but want to see if anyone else had this issue and or what might be the cause on my side.

Thanks.

We are currently looking into this, but it does seem like there are some issues with importing settings based on some quick testing I’ve done. Will need to investigate this further, but we’ll definitely add it to our backlog so we can address it in a future patch release 🙂

This should be fixed in the next release 🙂
