Is there a way to load a g-code file into Linuxcnc using an external file browser such as Thunar or whatever is your preferred browser on your DE? Ok answered my own question, I just found that there is!!! (at least for the Axis user interface.)
By using the "axis-remote", in your file browser right click on the g-code file you want to open then choose "Open With Other Application" at the bottom of the window that pops up choose "Use a custom command" and type in "axis-remote" (no quotes). Then the g-code file "should" open in the Axis ui. This is a wonderful option for opening files saved on network shares, that can be difficult if not next to impossible to brows to using the Linuxcnc ui's file opener. (No more battling with trying to create a mount point for the network share that Linuxcnc can brows to.) Are there equivalent commands or tricks to do this with any of the other user interfaces in Linuxcnc? Todd Zuercher P.
