Re: [Emc-users] How to change the default directory AXIS looks in to open a file: Perfect Solution!
Thanks folks, changing the PROGRAM_PREFIX line worked perfectly. Now, when my Grade 8s come in to open their files through AXIS, the "media" folder comes up right away, which saves me explaining over and over how to navigate there. Thanks for your advice, it worked perfectly on both of the Probotix Fireball's we're running with LinuxCNC here at the high school.

Edit the PROGRAM_PREFIX line in the configuration .ini file to your desired directory. -- Ralph From: Cowen via Emc-users [emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net] Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2018 12:00 PM To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Cowen Subject: [Emc-users] How to change the default directory AXIS looks in to open a file?? Hello folks, I am using AXIS on two Probotix routers in a high school, and I am always looking for ways to make things easier for the kids. Easier means less problems. In that vein, I have a question that Google and messing around in AXIS have not helped me with! I try to reduce the number of steps the kids need for each part of the process. We program on laptops and transfer files to the routers using USB keys. Unfortunately, when we open our files, we have to work up through several directories from the default "open file" directory, and then down through "media" to get to the USBs. It would be great if I could redirect the default "open file" directory to "media." Can anyone point me in the right direction to make this change?

That might work better if the USB stick is ever unplugged. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
