Okay, did a deep dive on the code. If you select a tool with a name that is longer than the display currently can display, the select button is pushed to the right as show in image below. To fix this, select and slide the edge of the dialog to the right to show the buttons.

Jim,
A couple of questions:
Is there a way to set default tools?
It looks like all of the wizard settings get stored in the windows registry. So if I wanted to go back to a different cabinet design and make small changes and let the widget rebuild the cabinet, it appears that I would have to re-enter those settings. Is there possibly a way to write that in the DAT file so we have record of the settings or am I missing something?
For the wall cabinets in my shop, I like using french cleats, is there a way to add in that as an option in the gadget?
Thank you for building this gadget!

Quick question about Easy Cabinet installation. I've installed it both by renaming the .zip and moving the .lua file to the gadgets folder in Aspire (running current Aspire 10.512 on Windows 10 current update), but I keep getting this notice:

Alert: The CabinetMaker program has not been set up on this computer. The Project path must be selected and saved.


I can do paths in my sleep on Linux, but it seems not on Windows. Not sure what I am missing. The current path for all gadgets is:

C:\\Users\Public\Public Documents\Vectric Files\Gadgets\Aspire V10.5

What am I missing? Is there a program installation I don't have but need, or is that just a bug? Once I close the alert I can use the dialog boxes and inputs, and they all seem to work ok, I'll just get the same alert when I close the gadget boxes.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorted it out...just hadn't looked far enough in the dialogues to see I needed to set up a project path, and that's what the alert was referring to. All's well!

Trying to run Easy Cab maker in VCarve Pro.Ver 10.512. I receive an error concerning toolpath generation? Don't know enough about Easy Cab to troubleshoot it.

Thanks for your help!
