AutosilkUtils in 17.2

EvanShultz

I suspect eDave may be the best person to answer, but any feedback is welcome. After upgrading to 17.2 from 16.6, invoking Allegro shows the following error in the console:

E- *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/AutosilkUtils_public.cxt"

Is there an updated utility for 17.2? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

  • eDave
    It's not possible for me to create a cxt file using 17.2 yet. Hopefully I will be able to do this with an upcoming hotfix.
  • EvanShultz
    So no AutoSilkUtils in 17.2? How sad. If you've not submitted an enhancement request, please let me know and I'll be happy to do it. Thank you, Dave.

    Hi Dave,

    is there any particular reason why you use a context file for this utility? (eg, why not an encrypted skill?)

    Thanks,

    Bram

  • eDave
    Skill encryption is of limited value and is easily decrypted if you know what you're doing. The AutoSilkUtils utility doesn't really need a lot of protection but I prefer to distribute it this way so I can better keep track of usage and control changes.
