Post GCode Issues

When I try to load large-ish (6mb) gcode files generated by Death to Sharpie (the case below is generated by the web version), sections of the drawing go AWOL. I've exported the resultant queue, and it ends with a C14, so it's not a matter of simple truncation. The queue file is a third smaller than the original gcode (a little over 4mb), which matches what's shown in the controller's preview.

I've just loaded a 10MB gcode file and converted to 400,000 commands ok, nothing missing, so it can be done at least. Can you email me your offending gcode and let me have a closer look please?

Good news. It's not your problem. It's related to using the web version of Death to Sharpie. What fooled me is the preview image on the webpage looks great. But the gcode it's giving me isn't complete, or it's being messed up when I save it. When I view the gcode in pronterface, the gaps are seen there too.

When I use the Processing sketch version of Death to Sharpie with equivalent parameters, the gcode is complete.
