So what’s the feeling about Lightburn V 2.0
I hate that they have separated the Console and Macro’s - Now I have to switch windows to follow and the Macro Window keeps being removed.
Previously the Macros appeared as part of the console window.
If there s a trick to getting it back - please advise.
Frustrated - some what.
Interesting!
Please tell me more about the Windows 10 computer you’re using.
Is it a laptop? What is the screen size / resolution?
The Material Library is a little bit tall to stack three windows on the right, but without the Material Library - I can stack 3 Windows. You can also move the Macro window into the Lower position on the right if that makes things smoother.
Please test this and let me know if anything here might work for you.
I’ll check back and retest with my Windows 10 box if needed.
res is 1920 x 1080 60cm screen and windows 10 Desktop. Does the same on my other 3 PC’s.
Can never get the Macro Window to shrink / resize to stick with the Console or any other Window. Can only have 2 Windows Active at any time. Can not stack 3 as per your first example - which was my default.
Even if I remove the Materials Library - Same issue. May be due to having a few Macro’s that the window defaults to a larger / fixed Size ?
The Macro Window has a Focus/Engrave and 5 other Cut macros and on my actual working PC it has another 4 Macros . So 10 in total but a change to the Move options would allow me to no longer need these 4 macros. (see my other post).
Along these same lines, after installing 2.0, all my existing macros are gone? I had several set up in the previous environment and shame on me for not exporting/writing them down. Any way to retrieve these macros?
I had to re install / set up all my Macros
Tried reinstalling and still no macros. What set up did you end up doing to find some of them?
To be clear, I have the Macro window, just no macros. When I installed 2.0 it never carried over the macros that were in my previous version.
Thank you for the reports.
We have a Dev team member looking into this right away.
A migration tool was in place but we will investigate why it did not work as intended.
Will report back ASAP
On My laptop (which runs all 3 lasers) the material library extends and dissapears off the bottom of the screen and I cannot see the bottom of it, the tabs (LASER / MATERIAL LIBRARY) Then move up into the material library window, when selecting LASER, it goes back to normal.
Hello David, Greg
Thank you for reporting this issue.
To assist in our investigation, could you please share with us your Preference folder?
Open Lightburn > File > Preferences > Open Preference folder
ZIP every content inside the preference folder and send us the zip file, please?
Thank you
Sent! Thank you for looking into this. Finger crossed. 
PS… Looking in that folder, I saw prefs.ini.old. Inside that file are my Macro’s. I copied them and put them asside, but it would be nice to get them to import directly.
PPS… Not sure what happened, but after zipping the file and going back into Lightburn, my Macros appeared. So you can close my issue. Backing things up now. Sorry for the run around.
@LaserCuttingPro, please look at our announcement of the LightBurn 2.0.01 Patch Release, which addresses this. Please confirm your results when you can.
this is 2.0.1.
you can see the material library going below the screen.
and when back on laser is ok.
the screen size is not set to recommended (1920 x 1080 ) but is set to 1600 x 900. This is probably why, but it worked fine before v2. and I like the resolution I have as everything is a little bigger.
IT HINK IT IS EXACTLY WHAT i WANT USING TWO SCREENS. CONSOLE ON ONE AND MACROS WITH MANUAL PAGES ETC> ON THE OTHER. WORKS GREAT!!
