I recently restarted my machine after about a months uptime. Everything was working quite well until the window manager died (not really linuxcnc's problem). When I brought linuxcnc baack up all my work offsets, 54,55,56,57 were used, were all 0. Super annoying.... I reset g56 and tested again and then restarted linuxcnc, again my work offsets weren't saved. I tried the same experiment again and it seems to have stuck this time.

So I guess my question is what the heck is going on...? I'm glad the tool table is in a different file because losing all that as well would be really annoyhing. Is there some step I need to be taking to save the work offsets? Should I not expect them to save forever and ever? Is there something that causes the linuxcnc.var file to be ignored? overwritten? explode?


Unrelated, sort of... I'm getting really tired of setting work offsets for offsets I'm not in and ruining other setups all the time. I'm running axis, not sure if this is handled differently in other gui's... Why if I'm in g56 when I hit touch off why is the default in the dropdown box for the WCS G54 and not the currently active WCS? Is there any way to change this?
