Right now any time you hit Open to load a gcode file, it starts from the LinuxCNC install directory, and you need to drop several levels on the tree and then up one to media/username and whatever USB drive is inserted. It's very repetitive. Can I specify to start there instead?
I'm using AXIS.

In the .ini file, section "display" enter this
OPEN_FILE = name of the file
File must be in the config folder, or a full path to it must be entered.

in my case this works for me:
in the .ini file, section "DISPLAY", add
PROGRAM_PREFIX = home/USER/Projects_Gcode
change "USER" to match your machine.

In the {DISPLAY] section you can use ~/ shortcut to the users home directory.
PROGRAM_PREFIX = ~/Desktop
JT
PROGRAM_PREFIX = ~/Desktop
