I totally understand that. But it never hurts to pull a few strings.
I pushed a fix for the offset widget to 2.6, 2.7 and master.
It will be available in the next bug fix release or on buildbot now.
Thanks for the report.
OK, I will do a GIT pull and see if the error went away.

it's essentialy a mysql table ., i have a few tweaks to make this easier .
I'm also synchronizing tool.tbl semi-automatically with CAM; that is not so hard since the file format is very simple.
however i tend to leave the tooltable empty in linuxcnc and only use it for wear offsets ,as this is particular to a machine
and it's toolrack . i.e tools are not usually shared around machines in a shop .
Yeah, well, I am a hobby guy using one machine :laugh:
My main tooltable uses are storage of actual tool length and misuse to correct the dimensions of a feature that do not measure to the right size.
