problem saving files

1
hi guys.
I have just acquired a foam cutter with an early version hobby cnc board and old lap top on xp. eventually got It running with jedicut, albeit really slow. if I up the cut speed the motors stall and don't sync.
my problem at the moment is, when I save changes to a file, jedicut reopens the previous version of the file. I am not pc literate. (possibly even dumb) so this is driving me nuts.

my next problem is I don't know how to cut a fuse that is longer than my x axis travel. I have tried creating two files with an interlocking joint. but when I look at in cut preview the two files appear to be in different scales.

as a side note. when close out of the options screen jedicut shuts down.
here I the two files

Hi Jeremi and welcome ! :)-D

1 - Speed settings
Do you you have an external timer on your hobby cnc board ? I don't think so.
What speed value do you use ? Remember that you have to reduce the value in Jedicut to increase the speed of your motors. And increase the value it to slow your motors.

2 - File you want to save
If you use an existing file, what extension has it ? Can you control if the file attribute is not "read only" (right click and properties on the file in Windows explorer).

3 - Fuse
I don't understand the story with two profiles... You have tu use cutting wizard to cut foam longer than your table. If the final shape is larger than x axis, you'll have to prepare profile on a specific software. Jedicut can't do this.

4 - Settings form that crash Jedicut
Thanks for the report. I'm working on it. Stay tune ;)
