I vote for this also.


It's all very well voting for it, but I am not sure that it works properly, as it is just a proof of concept.
The version there uses a database structure that is nowhere near as flexible as it could be. I really think that the database should look like this:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ToolDatabase
But _look_ like the current one from the point of view of the tool editor.
(which needs to be changed to work with a database).

for what I see, that concept it's not intended to use with lathes... please don't forget about lathes.

Not so, it is entirely applicable to lathes, even dual-spindle lathes with two carousels, if need be.
I am much more a lathe user than a mill user, I will not be forgetting lathes.

I've done a lot of work with Python using databases so if you need some help in that area I'm in.

I am glad to help with testing of this. If I can help with programming I can do that also. Relatively new to python but I have coded in VB, VB.net, C, C++, Fortran ......... Not an expert but I might be able to help. I have also done quite a bit of work on database stuff.

I have never used GIT before though. That is something that I am trying to figure out.

I also need to figure out how to do a run in place configuration for testing purposes.

Maybe you can help me with C++ and I can help you with Python :)

The tooleditor I think you are referring to is written in TCL ...uggg
But the GladeVCP one is written in python (and can run stand alone too) I can modify that one for you.
(when I'm back from working away that is)

My worst programming nightmares were while I was automating Pro Engineer with C++ and the ProE API.

Pointer here, Pointer there, Horrible debugging AHHHHHHHHH! So many years ago, I had almost forgotten the horrors.

From my initial impressions and playing I like Python better!

Hello,

any news about this feature?

I found this workaround: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/411

and seems to work!
