reasign "file open" key was created by lou
I would like to be able to reasign my "file open" dialog button to a program such as "nautilus" so I can browse my network. I keep my files on a network server for reasons of security and backup and the current "file open" dialog box will not allow me to see these locations.
Regards
Lou

Annoying, isn't it?
I don't know if it is possible to use a different file selector. Hopefully someone else does.
You might be able to find (mounted) network drives in the gvfs folder.
Alternatively, you could maybe use fstab to mount your network server at nc_files.

using the .gvfs folder worked with the older Ubuntu 10.04 installations of Linuxcnc, but the newer Debian setups don't. You will have to create a mount point for your network drive and mount it there, then you will be able to browse to it via the Linuxcnc file open dialog.

The axis gui uses a global variable named open_directory for
the initial directory used in the file open dialog.
So you can add a line to your ~/.axisrc file like:The directory_name may specify an absolute path or a path relative
to the ini file config directory. The directory must exist at startup
and must be in quotes.
This method is subject to future breakage if the axis gui code changes.

Hi dgarrett, how could I mount the network drive at startup?
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, axis does not open the folder indicated in the "directory_name", instead open the configuration directory.

This is a Linux question rather than LinuxCNC.
The most elegant way is probably to map the network drive to a subfolder of nc_files (or to replace the nc_files folder with a network drive mount-point).
It comes down to setting up an fstab entry. Here is a tutorial, with no particular recommendation, you will find many others.

Thank you very much for your advice, in the meantime I found the solution to map my network drive on linuxcnc nc_files directory and posted it
