It's with regular launch. If I turn off coff loading from Gh (and use screen recording software because of the speed), the only message I can see is that the plugin was developed for an older version of Gh. So nothing revealing there.

I have the version 20115-02-17 installed. is there a never version of the "old" version?

Hi,
I am testing the Rhino WIP (6), but every time I have tried to open Gh there, it just flat out crashes. Without any explanation.
The culprit now seems to be the older version of the Kuka|prc I have installed alongside the new version. Once that is "disabled", everything runs smoothly.

Do not know whether this is a Gh-developer issue more than prc-developer issue, but I thought to let you know about this.
You can at least narrow the issue down before contacting McNeel/Rutten..,

Hi,
Once you create the src file, it is impossible to review its content without either running it with the robot, or using other simulation software. And if you have tens or hundreds of different files, you just have to hope that they contain the information you assume. It is very easy to accidentally overwrite the src, if you leave the "save file" tab on. Therefore I have two suggestions on improving the tool.

And the tool is excellent by the way, but that almost goes without saying. :) And I express my gratitude towards the makers.

1) Possibility to externalise the file saving to a component input. So either as a boolean, or filepath/filename+boolean (or a separate component with inputs for all possible parameters). The "save file" option within the tool is functional, but sometimes I miss the possibility to explicitly set at which point I want to save the file. Such as when creating multiple src files from the same definition, changing the parameters in between. Now I have to set "save file" on, save changes, set it off and then save changes again.

2) Component that could read back the src file and simulate the toolpath/robot accordingly. It is easy to read back the XYZ coordinates into Grasshopper (and show the polyline), but I cannot recreate the planes from the axis angles. So, I think it would not be too hard to have a component that reads and parses the src as planes for the robot to simulate back again.
