Configuration file problem (4.6.2 => 4.7.0)

[Fabdu57]

Hi,

I have a "big" problem with configuration file...
I updated some days ago Cura from 4.6.2 to 4.7.
On 4.6.2 I did some profiles that, by safety, i saved in ".curaprofile" on my computer. During the update, the profiles were automatically reset to version 4.7 (because I had not uninstalled the user preferences).

However, I just saw that I was missing a profile. So I tried to import it, I got a message telling me that the import was done (with its name), but it does not appear in the list.
If i try to import again, same message, but with "#2" at the end. But nothing in list and configuration.
If i try to import again, same message, but with "#3" at the end. But nothing in list and configuration.
If i try to import again, same message, but with "#4" at the end. But nothing in list and configuration.
(....)

Attached is the profile. If I import it again on 4.6.2 (which I reinstalled), it works without problems ...

How to solve this problem... ?

Thanks in advance,
Fabrice

I had this problem with one of my profiles. It was importing it, but not making it available for the machine I was on, or maybe any machine at all. It did the same thing with adding copy numbers to the end. Eventually, I was able to track down the problem by comparing the profile to the other profiles that did work. There was one line that was different, I think it was 'quality_type'. In the working profiles, it was set to 'not_supported', but in the bad one, it was set to something else. To get at it, I had to open the .curaprofile file with a zip extractor, change the problem line, then put it back in the zip file. After I did that, it imported fine. It was still #5 or something like that, but I went in the folder C:\Users\my_user_name\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.7\quality_changes, deleted #1-4, then I was able to rename the one that worked in Cura to remove the unnecessary number.

Thanks for your message.
Effectively i found on "C:\Users$user\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.7\quality_changes" the cfg file associate to my configuration:

creality_base_extruder_0_cura_v2020.06.28_-litophanie.inst.cfg
creality_ender3pro_cura_v2020.06.28-_litophanie.inst.cfg

I tryes to delet them and tooh from 4.6 (C:\Users$user\AppData\Roaming\cura\4.7\quality_changes) both and put on 4.7, but still same problem... Then i tryes a second solution : import as you mention and rename file. Same, profile not appears on list.

I think that 4.7 version have a lot of bug... And that is a big bug that Ultimaker need to interven ASAPS...

Attached is the profile.

I don't see it here. Could you try that again? It may need zipping to appease github.

Sorry but ly problem is not solv...
Is a solution avaible or not ?!

[rburema]

@Fabdu57 No sorry, not yet. This one is closed because we're sure it's the same as #8229 (which is still open), and we like to keep issues that where already reported in the same place. To continue to conversation and/or to monitor the discussion/progress, you should go to that link, which goes to an open issue that is the same (or has the same underlying problem) as yours.

This is not my problem that an other topic is open.
My problem is different, i am not the other people.

So i want my topic became again open and have help !

Hi @Fabdu57. The profile that you are trying to import is a draft profile which is not compatible with nozzles <0.6mm (for creality printers). The quality profile is correctly being imported, but it does not become available due to your selected nozzle. If you switch to a nozzle that contains a draft profile (e.g. 0.6mm), you should be able to see the quality profile you just imported.

I agree that currently it is not clear, so we are working on a solution to at least give a message as to why the profile is not visible (see #8363).

The reason this github issue is closed is that it is a duplicate of #8229 and we want to keep the discussion on duplicate issues in one centralized issue, so please move further comments on #8229.

I don't reallly understand...
It works on 4.6.2, layer height is 0.12 and noozle 0.4.
So i don't really understand your answer in fact.... If it works on 4.6.2 and i can print, why not on 4.7 lol

[konskarm]

In 4.6 it was actually a bug that was allowing all of the quality profiles to be shown, even if they were not compatible. We fixed that in 4.7 so as not to allow a configuration select a profile that doesn't match it, which can cause bad or even failed prints.
