The job of a software developer is to solve problems.

So naturally, when I wanted to easily edit a screenset for UCCNC motion control software, I decided to create an app for that!

You can find it here: https://snapwebapps.com/uccnceditor/

Currently, the list of features include:

• Selecting and aligning multiple elements at the same time
• When multiple elements of the same kinds are selected, you can also modify their properties at once.
• You can generate and export buttons:
  
• You can add and assign pictures to buttons:
  
• You can Create, Copy and Delete selected elements.
• Images can now be loaded in any directory within Flashscreen:
  
• It also has a 10-step undo button!

In all, I killed 3 weekends working on it, so perhaps, it did not save me much time, compared to doing without it.
But I also had a lot of good time figuring out how to parse a large C# config file, split it into thousands of nodes and render them on the screen.

There may be some bugs in there I didn't catch, so if you find anything weird, just let me know.

Make sure to back up your existing profile because it will override the imported file when you click "Save".

Cheers!
