Has anyone gotten Tooledit gui working in PathPilot? was created by gerritv
I am about to get a RapdiChange type tool changer running. (thanks to
haskins-guitars/linuxcnc-rapidchange
for the code with some modifications) The Tx M6 stuff is all working but editing the tool2.tbl file is a pain (each tool needs a pocket # from 1-8) and then of course after editing you have to restart PathPilot.
The Tooledit gui is the answer but given that Mint 17 is rather ancient I was wondering if anyone has gone through this process already.
PathPilot recently moved to GTK3 so that is a bonus.
Standalone version is fine, it includes a Reload button to reload the configured tool2.tbl file.
The goal is to load up the toolchanger with tools for a program, edit Tool2.tbl, reload it and then run the program.

The latest version of the Python Tooledit widget might suit you better, as of this commit it looks like it can run standalone.

Thank you Andy.
I did get the .tcl version running, but it is tied to Axis so the Reload button doesn't appear for PathPilot.
I will give the python one a try, at least there is then a hope of tying it PathPilot somehow.
