Jeff, The machine next to it is running version 2.5.4, and does reference the nc_files folder for gcode files. I checked the ini file for any other reference to nc_files, and no other instances exist. Regards, Eric On September 1, 2017 10:29:05 AM EDT, Jeff Epler

Dewey, So is PROGRAM_PREFIX in the DISPLAY section getting ignored? I previously set it to: /home/emcuser/linuxcnc/nc_files Then would require no path when specifying the nc file name in open. Thanks, Eric On September 1, 2017 8:44:19 AM EDT, Dewey Garrett wrote: > >

Dewey, Ok, I got fooled, the absolute path is working. The problem is linuxcncrsh returns an ack even if the does not open, and axis, which I am also running for startup purposes, does not update the display for the opened file (except in the heading). The previous version also worked with a
