How do I close a g-code file in Gmocapy?

Looking at Midnight commander takes me back to the 80's. Especially seeing the Hex editor. I remember using similar tools to cheat on PC games back in the day. time fly's I haven't had time for a computer game in years. Years ago I tried gaming on a PS3 and that twin stick controller didn't work for me. I'm a keyboard and mouse guy.

IMHO you are getting very, very, very off topic!

Gmoccapy has an integrated editor for files!
If you use an external editor and you save the file, you can use the reload button to get the newest version of the edited file.

All this works like a charm!

So all other stuff is not gmoccapy related, so please open an own thread to resolve that.

Thanks Norbert

Norbert,

Sorry. your right we've drifted way off topic. I'll sum up for any future reader hitting the last page button and let's close this thread.

I confirm LinuxCNC does not lock the file. As such Dropbox has no issue syncing the file and the reload button does the trick. My solution for ensuring I have the newest program is that I modified my Fusion 360 post processor to automatically add the created date/time to the comment section at the very top of the program so I can easily check after hitting the reload.

Thanks, Over and out.

Hallo friends,
I would like to wake up this thread, becouse I have the same problem with LinuxCNC and cannot find solution.
When I open G code file from machine local disk, I can rewrite it without problem. For example, when I improve and generate same G code file from CAM. This is OK.
But when I have G code files on server Samba share, when file is opened in LinuxCNC, it is not possible to rewrite the file on samba share. I have found only one way to solve: Open other G code file in LinuxCNC, then previous file is unlocked and possible to rewrite. Then I have to open file I need again. But this really sucks!
Is there any solution how to unlock file on Samba share after it is loaded to LinuxCNC?
Thanx a lot!
