Until LinuxCNC supports separate directories directly, there is a workaround for both these use cases. Simply put the subroutine or other files in any desired directory, then place a link to each file in the $PROGRAM_PREFIX directory. e.g. for the latter use case: $ ln /home/emcuser/emc2/subroutines/mysub001.ngc /home/emcuser/emc2/nc_files (That's one line, but your mail client has probably wrapped it.) That hard link makes the file appear equally in both directories, though only one copy exists on disk. If one link is deleted, the one copy will still be in the other. If the two directories are on separate devices, you'll need a symlink instead, i.e. add "-s" after the "ln". That link will remain afterwards, if the file it points to is deleted, and so is a little more work to maintain in that case. Hopefully there's something new in the above, for Lars or Eric. At least it is a way to do what they want, for now. The $PROGRAM_PREFIX directory is now only a funnel connecting to a thousand file directories, if desired.
