    Re: Notepad++ gcode plugin

    Thank you, this is a very nice to have tool in N++. If anything, I'd note that it's a bit awkward to tell which file you're looking at plotted if you have multiple ones open in N++. The plotted file being colored/styled does indicate which one it is, but that's the only way I found to tell, and with many files open that could get tedious.

    The other small drawback I see is that there's no way to combine multiple files into a single plot - but that would probably be a lot of work to do anything about. I usually split various phases / tools of machining into separate files for my GRBL-driven mini desktop mill, which is why being able to load and plot all of them together in NC Corrector is something I use a lot. But that's just icing on the cake...

    Other viewers I use are Camotics, NCSim and the CNCEdit Basic CNC Viewer. There's always something one of them does better and when in doubt, I get to compare "second opinions" - but in the end I'm just a hobby user with unsophisticated needs...

    I understand, if you click on the toolpath it should jump back to the file plotted.
    Do you have some other user friendly solutions in mind ?

    I think it can be done by combining the various files together in one and then plot them in NCnetic.
    In the old versions of NCnetic this was an option, but it was messy so I prefer not to deal with that anymore

    Neat, I haven't noticed that. I had nothing fancy in mind just maybe adding the plotted file's name and/or path to the plot window title bar, that currently only says "NCnetic". Possibly marking the opened file's tab somehow, if there's some easy way for plugins to do that sort of thing...

    Good idea !
    I will check if I can implement that
