Rhino WIP import settings?

  • Which versions are installed on your computer?
  • In which version of Rhino are you running this command?

Version 8 SR27 (8.27.26019.16021, 2026-01-19) Commercial
Work In Progress (9.0.26041.13355, 2026-02-10) Commercial

Seriously, @wim you should be able to gather this info automatically.

You want him (or some bot made by McNeel) to look at your computer remotely?

As long as it is gathering data from Rhino only… what could be the problem?
I see no issue with getting the software version.

Are you concerned about security issues that might arise along with this data exchange?

I’m concerned about anyone trying to get information ā€˜automatically’ from my computer. I trust McNeel implicitly, but that’s not the point.

I won’t put all information in the same category of privacy.
Getting what’s inside the Rhino file automatically is not ok.

But software version, that’s a basic thing. Others gather anonymous statistics…

I’ve reproduced what I think is your issues. Permissions settings. Hurray.

RH-92460 is fixed in the latest Rhino WIP. Please give it a try.

Also, this command has to have options, let the user pick what exactly is importing, let the user pick what it wants to import, please!

On my to do list. I’ll give this feature some more attention soon :slight_smile:

I added some more debugging inside in case what I fixed wasn’t it. Can you run TestEnableDebugLogging, try the PreviousOptionsImporter command and drop the debug.log from your documents here :slight_smile:


There’s no log in Documents.

Agh sorry I was testing this system out, it’s in the name DebugLogging apparently this doesn’t work in Release builds. I’ll figure something else out to find out why you’re having issues :slight_smile:

ok. If I could import my settings I would be able to test the wip more often.

I will find a way to figure out what your bug is and fix it.

Yes, and please improve the command, maybe with a window that let’s me check what exactly I want to import. I would import one by one, first the Aliases, then Keyboard Shortcuts, then custom Toolbars and so on…

I have been informed you need to restart after running the TestEnableDebugLogging command, and the file should be called RhinoDebugMessages.txt. Sorry for the faff :slight_smile:

  1. run RhinoWIP
  2. run TestEnableDebugLogging
  3. restart RhinoWIP
  4. run PreviousOptionsImporter
  5. check for RhinoDebugMessages.txt in Windows Documents Folder

Almost, sorry about the faff.

  1. run RhinoWIP
  2. run TestEnableDebugLogging
  3. restart RhinoWIP
  4. run PreviousOptionsImporter
  5. then check for RhinoDebugMessages.txt in Documents

ok, I got two files
RhinoDebugMessages.txt (28.3 KB)
RhinoDotNetTraceLog.txt (1.2 MB)
