Stepconf still to put "HALUI = halui" in my ini file. This is my configuration:
Because in my custom.hal file I put this:
loadusr halui -ini custom_halui.ini
when I run linuxcnc I get:
HAL: ERROR: duplicate component name 'halui'
I read several guides on how to customize the configuration of LinuxCNC but unfortunately after that I can no longer launch stepconf because the changes are deleted.
If you really need to load HALUI with a different INI file than the default (Are you sure you need to do this?) then you will have to
unloadusr halui
first.
Or. better, remove the HALUI=halui from the main INI file and switch to hand editing the HAL and INI.
Just consider that Stepconf has now done its job, and the most effective place to tweak is now directly in the config files.

I know, but my problem is to be able to edit the files produced by stepconf so that they are not deleted when I run again stepconf.

Yes, I tried but it seems that LinuxCNC loads halui (but there is no HALUI command in the ini file) before my command loadusr.
I can try to unload halui in custom.hal before loadusr as suggested andypugh (thanks).
Eventually I want to use this setup that I found online for my stepcraft 840:
