Correct - 3.5 introduced some major differences and as this is just a spare time project for me, I do not have the time to maintain 2 code bases.
And someday when 3.5 is ready for prime time I will move to it. I am not a fan of alpha, beta, gamma and RC releases. Even x.0 releases are best avoided.
When you say 'persist selected settings' do you mean changing the values of global variables via an input panel, or something else?
I already use BtnCmd to manipulate global variables. It is a great feature.
But it would be grand if certain of the values could be saved in some sort of non-volatile storage so when I come back the the printer the next day they are as I had set them using BtnCmd.

@fcwilt what if you ECHO those variables to a file, and in the next restart you just read thta file again in config.g. This is how Im doing now to store the total printing time of my printer and it works
-
@Tinchus Can you give an example (code) of how this works in both situations (save and restore values)? I am trying to achieve something like this.
Thanks -
@chimaeragh Sure. For example, when I want to save the total uptime of the machine I execute count.g:
echo >"uptime.g" "global.ontime =",{global.ontime + state.upTime/60}This saves in uptime.g the value of the global.ontime, and I get that value from the object model
Next time the machine restarts, in config.g I have a M98 P"uptime.g", so the value of the global variable is read again and keeps being incremented.

@Tinchus Thanks
