Kinda reminds of that old military joke:

What's the difference between a fairy tale and war story?

A fairy tale starts out Once upon a time... and a war story starts out 
This is no sh*t...

;-)

Yeah, a dope slap mechanism surely would have come in handy on a few 
occasions.

I just can't stand those Are you really, really, really really sure you 
wanna do this? warning flags though.  Way too Microshaftish.

Dave,

 I've decided over the years that I'll suffer the occasional 
self-inflicted dope slap just to avoid having to jump through three 
levels of warnings for certain things.  If I want to delete a file, I 
want to delete it NOW, dammit...

 I've even un-aliased all my rm's in all my .rc files to get 
rid of the damn -i feature Ubuntu and Redhat seems to have stuck in to 
the etc version of that file (or if it's my own desktop I just go to the 
system file and delete or comment out that stupid line).

And slap silly the person who wrote the software that didn't create the 
files with date/time stamp info in the file name, relying rather on 
VMS's numbered versioning to differentiate between the files.  Numbered 
versioning was designed for folks editing files and having prior 
versions around in case the new files hosed something.

My rule for purging was to do it only when i was sure I had a working 
version of a command procedure, document, or whatever I was working on.  
Never, ever, ever rely on versioning to differentiate between different

For a new bee, the lingo can be confusing.  We routinely do things in linux 
because we can, that would give a windows administrator nightmares as the 
user simply cannot be trusted to do it himself. (in their considered 
opinion that is.)  Sometimes the gene pool is contaminated. :)

Cheers, Gene

 Yes, just add
 PROGRAM_EXTENSION .nc
 in the [FILTER] section of you INI file.
Thanks, this works. Interesting that  .ngc was not even shown in the 
Filter Section but EMC looks for it.

Now to find the correct path to get to the Windows network and I will be 
styling.  :-)

[Emc-users] Default File Directory

2011-12-10 Thread Dave Christman
Is there a way to change the Default File Directory so when I go to 
open my files, EMC will go directly to a folder of my choice.

In the DISPLAY section of your .ini file, there is a
PROGRAM_PREFIX = /home/gene/emc2/nc_files

Adjust that path to suit.  Restart emc.

Re: [Emc-users] Default File Directory

2011-12-10 Thread Dan Field
On a related topic,  *.nc   verses *. ngc   files.   EMC2 finds  *.ngc 
files but not  .nc   So I have to switch to all files to find my saved 
file.My CAM program saves as  *.nc  though last go I remembered and 
tried saving as  *.ngc  which did work just fine so that is one way to 
do it.

Any way to tell EMC2 to also find  *.nc files along with  ngc  ?   It's 
just a nuisance at the moment, not a big deal.

I create my files on a Windows network desktop.  I find it interesting 
Unbuntu can find a Windows Network but Windows can't see Unbuntu.  It 
would be nice to save directly out to the shop computer in the EMC2 
folder but I have to save to shared folder and then at the shop computer 
go back to the shared folder, copy it and paste into the right 
folder.At least I have found a way yet.

regards
Dan

You could always point EMC to the shared folder.
