Linuxcnc Mint 19.3 ISO

Hmmm I've tried to do it by a number of methods, right clicking and sending to desktop. Copying folder and then pasting onto desktop and copying file and pasting onto desktop folder and can't seem to replicate this issue.

That kind of issue would be a desktop environment issue and should happen with a install done with an original Mint ISO.

Rob I have switched it on this morning and it all seems fine. I was going to re install and document the steps to try and figure out where it went wrong..
The iso installed very quickly then did the update etc. then I copied a plasmac config fold over and had to run Phill's configurator to get the sim links back which went well. So Mr Murphy might have been at play.

Before it was acting as if the files were hidden on the desktop

Thanks for the sanity check

Did by any chance the monitor get detached prior to such issues ?
Mint with Mate has a habit of leaving stuff on the desktop or not showing them after messing with the monitors like detaching them and attaching them to the same or another port, same thing on the laptops when switching monitors.
Usually it goes away after a short while, but sometimes only reboot helps.

PP as parallel port, or post processor or path pilot ?

Don't take the P out of a pensioner. You wouldn't have 2 ports with a post processor . So yes as a parallel port
