I had several keyboard shortcut in Edge 1.2.4 to run macros that I have written.
Installing 1.2.5 appears to have deleted all those shortcuts and turned them off. The macros are still listed in the available shortcuts menu, but the shortcuts have all been deleted.
Hey Grant, I saw your ticket and also Kevin told me you had a post so I thought Iād reply here so other people can see as well.
Basically the long and short of is it the team decided that shortcuts needed to be handled in a slightly different way on the newest Edge build (and in your defence, it wasnāt made clear in the release notes that this was the case) but as an outcome it only effects shortcuts for macros but shouldnāt impact anything else.
Iām not sure how many macros shortcuts youāve got but apparently because of the restructure itās hard to carry over for macros in particular. Iāll take the hit for your pain since I know youāre just trying to help us out by testing new builds - I guess in their minds though it was something worth updating in the long-run and that you wouldāve experienced on the next main build anyway
For a solution, as you mentioned:
Thankfully, I have not installed 1.2.5 on the PC connected to my Mill, so I still have a good version. Can you tell me what file the shortcuts are stored in so that I can copy it from the connected PC to the test PC? I assume this can be done so that I donāt have to re-enter all the shortcuts.
This file can be found in: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\gSender\preferences.json
but he mentioned that since the shortcut layouts are now structured differently youād likely have to either reset them all manually or change the command keys entry to have the existing keys you set. Iāll still ask if they can find a workaround for the main release but weāll have to see. Sorry for the pain
@chrismakesstuff Tks much for the detailed reply, Chris. Luckily for me, I installed 1.2.5 only on my ātestā PC running the test Uno. The PC that is connected to the Mill is still running 1.2.4. With that being the case, I will decide if the benefits to going to 1.2.5 outweigh this drawback. Other than the bugs that I reported in 1.2.4, it has been rock solid. And, if I am going to go through this with every release, I may well skip one.
No worries Grant! And also to clarify it shouldnāt be something to expect to happen on every release just something thatās sometimes needed when tweaks come along
Above all, I hope youāve noticed and been able to enjoy the significantly lighter RAM usage and faster loading times of 1.2.5 - weāre hoping that it makes for a drastic improvement on peoples experiences with gS as well as increases reliability sending larger files on older hardware
@chrismakesstuff Since I have not yet installed the latest on the āproductionā PC, Iāve not seen the good stuff. I expect that I will bite the bullet and install it downstairs. Itās not a big deal. I can take a screen cap of the macro shortcuts in 1.2.4, then re-input them in 1.2.5. Iāll report back when Iāve played with it a while.
@chrismakesstuff I did install 1.2.5 on my āproductionā PC, Chris and the load time is much improved. I recorded all my macro shortcuts in 1.2.4 before installing 1.2.5, and re-entered them, so all is well on that front now.
Thanks for the info.
Iāve opened another topic on the feed rate bug. Other than that, all seems well.
