Hi Guys.... Hi Sebastian

Today i repair a file for a user that got Error Warning " MCC is dammaged... Check Syntax"

While this i found out there are existing some situations, the User can make a Error in case of a Wrong Entry.... BUT Mobiflight not prevent the user from this.
I Think in a future Version there should be a "routine" that check this and make it unpossible to SAVE the wrong settings in a file. ( Not shure if this can implement in easy way)

Simple Example:

The User create a output Config for a LCD Display !
But he miss to make a entry in the Display Tab in the Simulated Display Field..... Simply cause he only want to make the config and will set it later.
If we save the file now then its demagged. It can not be load again.... Only if we repair it by a text editor. ( Syntax Error Message)
In That Case Mobiflight have not create in mcc Script the entry <line>*********** </line>
There is no protection if we try to save the file with this issue by mobiflight.

Pretty shure there are another situations that occure in those problems.

For example if we set a Compare that is not correct ( Wrong Expression Syntax) THEN Mobiflight will not Run..... And Mobiflight greyout the SAVE Button. Thats good.... BUT.... If I Click to Close Mobiflight i get the message " There was changings Save in file Yes or No " .... Here we can click at Yes and then the Issue will be saved in the File !

*****
Not shure how we can fix this.... And YES.... This Issues only existing if the user make a misstake himself.... BUT if Possible Mobiflight should help us to prevent this !
Good Luck !
