Topic: Can't load the good STL file with skeinforge

Hello,

Preferring the result with skeinforge, it is the one I use.

I just met a problem for which I can not find the solution:
When I should point to an STL file to be cut, It opens a second window asking once more for an other STL file.
whatever the STL file I chose, it cuts another file that I made long ago ...

Help me please, otherwise I'll uninstall and reinstall.

additional questions do you know where the profiles created are saved ?
In the folder "C: \ Program Files \ Solidoodlev4.3 \ kliment-Printrun-dceaf26 \ skeinforge \ skeinforge_application \ profiles \ extrusion" there is than the original ...

-------
skeinforge version 11.01.03

Are you clicking "open" or the "skeinforge" button?

Re: Can't load the good STL file with skeinforge

I user Pronterface so:
1- I open pronterface
2- I clic on settings
3- I click on slicing setting
Then when the skeinforge window opens I clik on skeinforge
at this moment the system ask me for an STL file.
I chose on and instead of starting slicing he ask me again for an STL file.

I try the "open" option from pronterface and he answered an error:
"Bad value for variable 'last_file_path', expecting type 'str' (ascii)
Slicing C:\Users\cece\Desktop\Imprimante 3D\Fichiers Catia\Bibliothèque\griffe _GoPro_base clip.stl
Slicing:  python skeinforge/skeinforge_application/skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py $s
Failed to execute slicing software:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in position 59: ordinal not in range(128)
"


But Your question make me think that I havn't tried to lunch skeinforge from Repetier.
I have juste try and it is working.

But I still don't understand why I can't from pronterface ...

I think it might be the accent grave in the path (Bibliothèque) as this is what is in position 59. Probably the software doesn't support such characters in paths.
