Title: HAD TO REINSTALL WINDOWS - NOW HAVING PROBS WITH INKSCAPE/GCODE
Post by: paul loseby on March 12, 2018, 12:08:48 PM

RESOLVED:  C:\GCODE folder was missing

Can someone please help me before I pull any more hair out.

I was happily using Inkscape with the J-tech extension for generating gcode.  I then had to reinstall windows and when I try to save gcode as before, I get the following message:

Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "laser.py", line 3173, in <module>
    e.affect()
  File "inkex.py", line 283, in affect
    self.effect()
  File "laser.py", line 3170, in effect
    self.laser()
  File "laser.py", line 3032, in laser
    self.check_dir()
  File "laser.py", line 2554, in check_dir
    if self.options.directory[-1] not in ["/","\\"]:
IndexError: string index out of range

A copy of my settings is attached.  Could someone please help me?

Many thanks

Paul

Did the version of Inkscape change after the reinstallation?
Did the version of jtech change after the installation?

Very many thanks for the help.  It turned out to be just the fact that the C:\Gcode folder was missing.  All well now.

Thanks you again
Paul
