widget Shadow->Footprint can't connect to OE's

[wgrizolliALS]

When trying to connect "Shadow->Footprint Reader" to a SHADOW OE's, nothing happens.

Another way to reproduce is to try to open SN_17keV_PD_Mirrors_Mono.ows

which (according to slides) uses Footprint Reader. When opening the file on OASYS we get the errors

ValueError("'Footprint' is not a valid output channel name for 'Plane Mirror'.")
ValueError("'Footprint' is not a valid output channel name for 'Ellipsoid Mirror'.")
ValueError("'Footprint' is not a valid output channel name for 'Plane Crystal'.")
ValueError("'Footprint' is not a valid output channel name for 'Plane Mirror'.")

You must enable the footprint beam in the preferences.

The setting was correct.

is the widget enabled to emit the footprint?

[wgrizolliALS]

I can't find that setting. Can you be more specific?

[lucarebuffi]

In any case, you should be able to connect it if the footprint beam is enabled.
I can't reproduce your error, sorry.

Said that, why you didn't contact me directly?

[wgrizolliALS]

Sure, not a problem :) . I thought this was the preferred way to keep the information public. I will reach out directly.
