Yes, though I still would think that the config picker should copy everything
that is there.
At least at the moment I can't think of anything you wouldn't - though I should
go look too.
There are two folders in question for Gmoccapy, one holds Icons, one holds user
NGC routines.
Now the NGC routines should surely go else where, probably nc_files
The Icons are a different story.
Normally i would love to have the icons with all the other Gscreen icons.
The problem is the Icon paths are set in the GLADE file and there is no way to
set a relative path to
them with python code after the fact (at least that I know of).
Since the icon folder moves depending on if linuxcnc is installed or RIP, but
the GLADE file doesn't, one style will be missing icons.
One way around this is to use system links in the user's config folder and have
some makefile magic to fix the links when installed.
The other way is to have the icons in the user's config file, which is the way
it would be if they made a customized version of the screen anyways.
I'm surprised GTK doesn't have a way to address this.
I'm open to other suggestions.
