AFAIK, from my messing of the nutconf code, it does have a depth
restriction. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Perhaps you could post
your gui.nut or a patch of your changes?

There are some reporting code inside nutconf that will print the lua
errors, but you will have to rebuild nutconf from what I understand. I
haven't found yet where it's switched on though :(
As a "nothing better to do project", I rewrote nutconf using Qt, and I
got it to render the tree, change settings, etc... all but actually
building, settings dialog and displaying the two right info pannels.
Sometime after the first 2 weeks of April I might get stranded in some
internet free environment and have time to finish it hehe. Done that
using Qt's MVC, it's pretty cool :)

Anyway, I could run your script in my app to see what the lua errors
are, or I can send you a build if you want.
