Hi Janne, I'm not able to repeat that problem over here using a file name of äüö.3dm .

What version of MoI are you running and on what operating system?

Can you maybe post an example file that triggers this problem so I can try to reproduce it?

Thanks,
- Michael

Hi Michael,
this ist my system:
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Moi Version 5.0 Beta Dec-1-2023

I need a few hours to find out wich one cause this problem, cause i cleared the list in the ini-file
Then i could give you more infos

Janne

It could be as easy as a moi.ini search-shortcut to the .exe.

I sucessfully duplicated a moi.ini where i gave it a moi.ini duplicate ex: "shortcut_to_moi.exe" -moi.ini

When i deleted the -moi.ini at the end after the last bracket "." the new files appeared again.
I put the moi.ini directly in the folder of Moi3D to eliminate the newest-files not appear in the menu.
It works for both v4 and v5.

Mvh

Hi Fredrik, if you pass a command line parameter to moi.exe that ends in .ini, it will use that for the moi.ini file to use.

So with a parameter of -moi.ini , it will be trying to use a file named -moi.ini , inside the current directory I guess.

When passing in a moi.ini as a command line parameter you should pass in a full path (including the directory) and without the '-' at the front. If there are any spaces in the path put " " around it.

Probably what was happening was MoI was trying to use a moi.ini file in a location where it did not have file write permission.

All i know that is when editing Moi.ini in Notepad++ instead of giving it a shortcut to the exe it started working again.
The newest files started to pop up accordingly and in order again when layed in Moi3D folder.

Ill guess the permission-part is a big part of the problem. I was unsucessful to give Moi.ini all authority status.
So i gave up the search for an all permit (Admin-rights to moi.ini).
It ended with giving Notepad++ all the admin-rights to the moi.ini instead.

It worked for me, although this is the first example not sucessful with giving permits and admin-rights to
individual folders or files.
