Dropdown menu PlusToolkitServer

[D49ll]

Hi,

I have added a new device to PlusToolkit. Currently i've only created the bare minimum in vtkPlusMyDevice.cxx/h and tested the functions in debug mode via vtkPlusMyDeviceTest. I followed the guide provided on https://plustoolkit.github.io/devicecode.

I wanted to try and start a server from the PlusServerLaucher app, however i cannot find my solution in the dropdown menu.

Where and what do i need to do to add my device to the dropdown menu. Or is it possible that the build process PlusBuild via cmake has not been performed correctly by me?

The list is populated from the config files in the config file directory.

Can you attach the config file?

Could the issue be due to a name error in the "adding a device"-setup? I cant seem to find any instructions on what to add in the ConfigFiles directory

Not sure, can you attach a log file as well?

I got it to work. I changed the filename from MNS to MNSTracker (which is what i call my device).
