Dear Developers,
So I have this Class for a dynamic settings and help interface which works fine see code below. Here are the list of what is not included
Emm Code works for all versions from R21 - S25 Tested
- I have a .ini file which I read from with a fuction called loadSettings()
- A replace() fuction which I use to save setting's back to the .ini file
- a Fuction Called SMsg() which contain' s the message I pass to the replace() for any new message
See how it works in the gif below
it does just that it all works see the code below, After code contains the problem pls scroll down

Problem, Now I made a simple popUp dialog and 
copy pasted the Settings class just as it is and called it
if result == Settings_id:
diag = Settings_Gem()
diag.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL_RESIZEABLE, 0, -2, -2, 200, 45) # Open dialog
And It's a disaster sometimes I get a
SystemError: error return without exception set "Which is Fustrating"
or worse See gif
The whole thing just Falls Apart I would have pasted the whole code but it's like 2k line plus since it a completion of multiple Things all in one. 😥
Ohh and the .ini File does update only the Gui in cinema4D does not
