Menu shortcut bug

Dear Users,

some of you have reported problems with running certain menu items via the shortcuts. I've attached a special build of the Grasshopper.dll that logs a lot of the stuff that goes on during key-presses. Please follow the instructions below to help me debug this problem:

Make sure Rhino is not running.
Find your Grasshopper install folder (you can search your computer for grasshopper.dll if you have no idea where to start).
Rename the file called "grasshopper.dll" to "grasshopper_old.notadll".
Download the file attached to this post, unzip it and put the "grasshopper.dll" inside of it next to the one you just renamed.
Restart Rhino and try to call a menu-item using the shortcut keys. If it doesn't work, close down Rhino+Grasshopper.
The log file should be opened automatically (it will be located on the desktop). Either copy/paste or attach this log file as a response to this post.

Note that the version number of this dll is higher than the most recent public release. So unless you see 0.8.0054 on the banner, the replacement was not successful.

When done testing, you can delete the "grasshopper.dll" file you added and rename the old one to get back to normal.

Thanks,

David

Hey!

I have tried it!

Yes 54 is shown, and the shortcutkeys are visible in the menu. But it crashes while using them.

Best Regards

Wow, no luck what-so-ever eh? If you submitted a crash-dump I can have a look at it tomorrow. It takes a while to process them.

When Rhino crashes, there's usually this window that pops up that offers to send the crash information to McNeel. This information typically contais the 3dm file that was loaded, a list of all installed plug-ins, the call-stack prior to the crash (very useful for developers) and -if you want- personal information.

Last night at my home PC, which I hadn't installed your gizmo on, I noticed during the course of a grasshopper session that I lost the ctrl+Y redo shortcut from the menu. At no point had I gone anywhere near the document preferences.

Thanks Danny, I assume you could put it back in through the shortcut settings afterwards?

I'll do some serious digging here.

Yes there was no problem re-instating it.

Ok, somehow this problem started reappearing this week. Here is the log. When using shortcuts, grasshopper looses focus and shifts to the rhino input field. Rhino will give a notice like "Nothing to undo".
