Harry smith Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi all, have recently bought a windows 10 tablet to setup my gauges to run in the car as I’m running a g4+ atom 2, have been playing with the pc link software for a few days now and an pretty confident in making my own layouts etc but for some reason they won’t save onto my tablet. So when I exit pc link and reopen it I can’t go to file>open and open my layout as it goes back to the default software, is there a way around this cheers. Harry.

Adamw Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Have you installed PC Link in the default directory C:/Link G4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj.surr Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Are you choosing to "save layout as" from the layout menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry smith Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hi Adam, yes I have installed pc link in the default directory C:/link g4 , it comes up with an error tab saying I need administrators permission or something to put my file in the layout section, have tried saving it everywhere, even to desktop ,nothing seems to work. It will save it just won’t load my layout it will go back to the default layout Hi Cj I have tried both saving from file>save as and also from layout menu, I’m unable to save one of them as I remember one was a file that couldn’t be opened, also other weird thing is when I go to open the correct pclr file i get a error message pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hill Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 It's probably because you don't have access permissions to save layouts to the default link folder (At the moment PC Link doesn't use the Users default write permission structure of Windows 10) If you go to options and click on the directories tab, then untick deafults for log files and layout files, then change the two folders to the ones you have write access for (probably documents\???), then you should be able to write/read layouts and logs.

Harry smith Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Hi Richard, I will try this thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry smith Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi Richard, I will try this thank you, , this still didn’t work unfortunately i keep getting error tabs pop up when trying to load an old layout or even saving a test layout I create, says something about a permission violation, where as I’m unsure cause I can load and save everything normally on my windows pc, I tried uninstalling both on my pc and tablet and reinstalled the pclink software and it seemed to work fine on my pc but not the tablet, which has windows 10 and is a pc based tablet. I tried saving the layout to a USB and putting it in the tablet to open it and it still says I’m unable to open it and it will revert back to the default page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry smith Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 this is the one I cant open on my tablet AE86 DASH DISPLAY 1.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 That is not a layout, that is a ECU map/tune/calibration. A layout has a .llf extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry smith Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I see, I have a few I have tried maybe try open this one DefaultLayoutae86.llf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 That opens fine for me. Nothing really different set up in it though but is does have a blank page labelled AE86. So you cant open this same layout if you go to >layout>load layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry smith Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think that was a test one I tried so it wouldn't have much onit but yeah it jst wont load onto my tablet without error tabs and everytime I close pc link a tab pclink.exe saying abnormal program termination pops up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
