M500 wipes config-override.g while saving settings
-
It does add simulation results data to the tail of gcode files. Main issue would be the indefinate line length and as far as I'm aware the user isn't limited to a set precision for decimals.
-
Come to think of it the merge back feature could possibly be a feature request for DWC.
That said, never had a problem with config-override.

@wilriker not necessarily.

@wilriker For sure you can have anything you like in config.override but why have 2 configuration files? A case in point..... It sometimes happens that the auto tune is less than perfect and users are encouraged to increase or decrease the dead time. If you do that to the values that are in config.g the changes won't stick because they will be overridden by what's in config override. So you have to edit what's in config override. Oh wait - config override has a great big warning - do not edit. No wonder new users get confused.

I Have a config-override file BUT I only ever use it to make copy and paste commands into Config.g I DO NOT EVER use M501 to read it back to the printer been bitten far to often with eprom settings

That seems a bit odd.
The config.g file is read and then (given a M501) the config-override.g is read.
Why to you think the second file is going to be the one to have problems?
-
I do not have a M501 at the end of config.g so it is never going to be read.
I don't use the override because as Ian pointed out you can make an intentional change to the config.g only to find it doesn't work as expected purely because the override is doing exactly that overriding the master config file spent several hours/days in the past trying to figure that one out (that was on Marlin/Repetier mind never on Duet) I learnt long ago ref that.
