No Edit or Tool Edit functions
I think the setup sequence for LinuxCNC, however, the Edit and Edit Tool Table menu commands do nothing. Have I missed a step in the setup sequence?
A brief look at the web - it seems I have to add some lines to the INI file. Can anyone tell me which INI file I have to edit, and what I need to add?
Kind regards
Pedro

$ linuxcnc
then choose your config from the config picker and try to open the tool table or edit a gcodefile do you get any output in the terminal that may point to the problem?

To edit tools in qtdragon, it may be necessary to activate and home the machine.

I have tried many of the GUIs in this system, and I've settled on the qtdragon.
Initially, qtdragon was reporting lots of warning and errors. I ended up reverse-engineering some of the GUI and noticed that quite a few file locations were hardcoded to the developers file system. I changed these locations suit my file system (which included moving some resource files around to suit) - things improved after that.
qtdragon doesn't have an editor, so I installed kate. The two work together well.
And, the Tool Editor works now...
I hope this info helps someone.
Kind regards

Can you post in the qtvcp section and include the file name. I'm sure Chris will get it fixed in no time.Unfortunately, what should be and what is, can be very different...
