Chris, that last sentence sums it all up, I think. I'm just not sure that an operator who can't be trusted with anything but the cnc screen should be deleting gcode files. But if the operation provided is to move a file, e.g. from a "production" directory to an "inactive" or "not_in_production" directory, then allowing a tidy-up within LinuxCNC seems a good thing in a production environment. (Just so long as he can move them back as well. :-) Erik -- Being owned by someone used to be called slavery -- now it's called commitment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
