Just a nitpick but if you try to run a config from anything other than ~/linuxcnc/configs then a preference file cannot be created.
I inadvertently came across this when I tried to run QtDragon from where it was downloaded.

So looking into this a bit - it is caused by the original integrator setting the preference file inside his config folder. Of course you don't have that folder on your system so it fails (qtvcp will make the file but not the folders)
Did it make qtvcp fail to load? i can't immediately see why - it should just not have saving capability - but i have not tested this recently.
The question then is how do we facilitate Jim's intent (preference file in the config folder) while still being moveable.
maybe a magic filepath word ie. CONFIGFOLDER/.qtdragon_preference
meaning it saves in whatever config folder it was run from...

I guess 99.9% of people won't do what I did and they will put it in ~/linuxcnc/configs where it belongs...

OK, that makes sense.So looking into this a bit - it is caused by the original integrator setting the preference file inside his config folder. Of course you don't have that folder on your system so it fails (qtvcp will make the file but not the folders)
Yes, it doesn't load the gui and gives the messages in the terminal I posted earlier plus a popup error messageDid it make qtvcp fail to load? i can't immediately see why - it should just not have saving capability - but i have not tested this recently.
Yes, I think the prefs file should always be where the ini file is.The question then is how do we facilitate Jim's intent (preference file in the config folder) while still being moveable.

I have made a change to screenoptions that will replace CONFIGFOLDER with the launched config path to facilitate the behavior.
I tested somewhat the error of specifying a location that was not possible but didn't get an error dialog.
could you run it again and see if the dialog said anything different - pressing cancel on the dialog should print the error in the terminal.

Is there something I should change in the source files?
