=== gtk_little_probe
This is old version from 2015. This older version has **less functionality**, but it **takes up less space on the screen**, which can be useful on smaller displays.

Less functionality compared to the original Verser Probe?
What's the problem with the original one?

GTK Verser Probe is original Verser Probe too, but old.
LCNC had this old version for a long time, but it was unmaintained, broken, and undocumented. I did some maintenance and found that I liked this old version better than the new one.

GTK little Probe is only modification of GTK Verser Probe.

Less functionality is probably not an appropriate description.
It has sufficient functions for a workpiece probe.

What's the problem with the original one?

Size + useless functionality for toolseter https://vers.ge/en/touch-probes/35-tsm-v9.html + useless functionality for M6 + useless DRO

The new Versa Probe has no problems, I think a lot of people will be happy with it, but I think a lot of people will be happy with this old probe screen.

As far as I can see the version of Serguei Glavatski looks like the current official one - is that right?
And you created the tabbed version based on Serguei Glavatski's, right?

I don't understand what you're asking me? Sorry for my english. Everything is from Serguei Glavatski.
We have in LCNC Probe Screen 2015

Here is actual version:
https://vers.ge/en/blog/useful-articles/probe-screen-v28
https://github.com/verser-git/probe_screen_v2.9
I tested actaul version. It works, but 2015 version is better for little size.

I created the tabbed version based on Serguei Glavatski 2015.
I called it "Modification of Probe Screen application by Serguei Glavatski (c) 2015"

Ah ok I didn't know that the "official" version is also by Serguei Glavatski.
I pushed some changes to make it a bit more clear. I hope you agree with that.
