UCCNC crashing for me as well

[A_Camera]

I switched off macro compilation.

Thanks Josef,

I think I found what the problem is.
I found that the macroprecompile window is closed from the background worker thread (invoke of the UI thread to Close the window code is missing) which calls the macros compilation routine.
This could possibly cause an issue like what you described, if the UI thread is doing some screen updates then unpredictable things can happen if another thread tries to access the UI thread.
Basicly another thread should never access the UI thread like that, so I've corrected that code now...

Thanks Balázs.

Hi Josef,

Did you have a chance to test the 1.2032 if it resolved the issue described in this thread?

Hi Balázs,
I am sorry, I haven't had time and currently I am on a business trip, but hopefully this weekend...

That's OK, have a good time on the trip and test it please when you'll be back and when you'll have some freetime.

I managed to install and test it quickly today. It seems that 1.2032 is not crashing any more, so it seems that the error is fixed.

It is though pity that it recompiles all the macro every time UCCNC is started. It should check the folder and if unchanged since last start it should not compile. It is a pretty simple operation to check the folder by calculating the checksum and save it when it is compiled and compare the checksum every time UCCNC is started. It is faster than compiling at every start.

I don't think that the compiled macros are saved anywhere, and just reside in memory, so they have to be compiled every time.
I find that unchecking the pre compile box is perfectly fine, as they changed the standard behavior when they added that option.

I see. In this case no point calculating a checksum.

I will see if I notice any difference, but found that the constant compilation is a bit annoying.

It's only on first use now, not every time.
