The Start From Line dialog box shows the line at which the last job finished. If you load a new job and use the Start From Line option, it gives you the amount of lines in the new job but the lines stop count of the previous job.
Now, I realize that if you use this option, itās likely for the same job. I only noticed when troubleshooting something else.
While on the subject, if the DEV team is reading this, where is the Safe Height value in this dialog box obtained from? Itās not in the gSender settings nor in the g-code.
Iāll take a stab at that question with some WAG.
Now that scanning the file for errors is working in gSender again Iām guessing that the file is scanned to determine the āmax height of the fileā. That would be the same scan that provides the dimensions of the carve. Then whatever you put in the safe height is added to the max height. Whatever you set it to, if it survives restarting gSender, is most likely saved in .sender_rc or in the config folder.
The default of 0.4 is probably hard coded in gSender and used to create the config file on new installs. A further guess is they chose 0.4 to be just high enough to not hit the carve but they canāt add too much to what the file uses without risking running out of Z.
It doesnāt need to be in gSender config section IMHO because itās always shown right before itās used.
All supposition on my part but maybe Iāll get a brownie if Iām right!
@_Michael Agreed that its likely hard-coded. What was throwing me off is that it was 0.4 for me but 10 for someone else. And my gSender is set to mm whereas the other user was set to inches. So our settings should have been the other way around ( me at 10 and him at 0.4).
Of course, if you all switched to metricā¦

I made the switch years ago but my country canāt stand change. If Canada was to āliberateā New Hampshire itād be fine with me!
EDIT: I just have to add this tidbit that DuckDuckGo gave me.
Only three countries officially use the imperial system: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. However, both Liberia and Myanmar are transitioning towards the metric system.
