When trying to edit G-code file nothing happens

Hi,
I have a problem with launching edit G-code file from Axis file menu.

Normally, as far as I recall, when I had a G-code file opened in Axis and than I had go file->edit text editor was automatically launched and current file opened.

now when I do that nothing happens. editor is not launched.

How do I solve this problem?

Check the entry for EDITOR in the [DISPLAY] section of your .ini file (eg EDITOR = gedit) and make sure that entry (eg gedit) actually opens a text editor when used in a terminal.

It seems that I do not have gedit installed.

what will be most convenient editor for G-code on Linux?
how do I install it?

Cris.

For the official ISO, editor should be mousepad, for Mint with Mate DE it should be xed, etc.

You could just install gedit... no idea if it's a good editor or not, but it is an editor.

sudo apt install gedit
