Autoload plugin not working

[bcorley]

I have enabled the Autoload plugin, 'Check for changes at startup' is checked, and 'Scan a directory' is Enabled. The directory is 'D:\DXF files'. 'Delay before loading' is set to 1s. The 'Enabled' checkbox at the bottom is checked.

I never get any prompt to load a file. I have tried loading a new dxf part, then modify that part and re-save it. No prompts in SheetCam.

Here is the debug log: (there seems to be several XRC errors)

Try disabling the plugin then look at the log again. Do you still get a warning like this:
Assert failure in function wxDir::GetFirst (C:\wx-3.0\wxWidgets\src\msw\dir.cpp:409). must wxDir::Open() first ("IsOpened()")

Does it work if you choose a directory on your C drive?

I dug through the Autoload.lua code and found a bug in the function "CheckCurrent()"
removed the '/' in the following line and it now works:
file, time = CheckDir(dirName .. pathSep, "/*." .. nam:GetExt(), wx.wxDIR_FILES)

[bcorley]

There were 2 more lines in that function that needed the '/' removed as well.

Taking another look at the code I think you are right. However it has always worked in the past. I'll update the plugin for future releases.
