Is there a way to disable Test Map?

1. I don't want to click it by mistake (read 2.)
2. when I click it I need wait 10-12 min for my map to save (for my cpu it's a mega big map, for a recent cpu it's only 30s)
3. when I click it usually all my imported files are corrupted (full of 0 bytes everywhere and I don't want to reimport 500 files each time).

If you refer to ctrl+f9, go to File > Configure Control and change the hotkey.

I do not remember it was listed at which section, you have to find it yourself.

about the hotkeys I'm not using it since it's not a problem (can't do ctrl+f9 by mistake xd)

about disabling the toolbar, since I use the toolbar a lot (I can click on it about 500 times on a hour to switch quickly between Trigger Editor / Object Editor / Terrain Editor / Sound Editor / Import Manager), it's not the "solution" I'm waiting (I don't use F<hotkeys> thingy)

Okay, here is my solution - it may not be perfect as well but since you refuse to disable the Toolbar and don't want to learn the hotkeys I have an alternative for you.

Check in your Editor's Preferences the Tab 'Test Map'. See in which file the map is going to be saved. Open your Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder location. Right-click the map file for properties. In the Properties dialog check 'Protected'.

Now your map editor will still try to save the map but will show an error dialog at the end of the saving process without making any changes. Try if this works to avoid that all your imported files are dropped!

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
