Offsetpage widget not showing values from .var file

Offsetpage widget not showing values from .var file was created by Wieser
I am trying to implement a Tool and Offset Tab for my machine.
I can enter values for the offsets and those are then written to the .var file. As long as the machine stays on, those values are shown in the widget.
The problem is that after a new startup, the table is blank.
What could cause that behavior?
The Tooleditor widget doesn’t have that problem. It reads and displays the value from the file correctly.
To get it working I use a pyhton code snipped I found on the forum:
See attached screenshot, the higlighted variables correspond to G54 and are applied. Also the values from G59.1 are saved at the bottom of the .var file.

tooledit = builder.get_object("tooledit1")
tooledit.set_filename("/home/linux/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis.gladevcp/sim1.tbl")
def get_handlers(halcomp,builder,useropts):
return [HandlerClass(halcomp,builder,useropts)]

I like that panel you have, is that both tool and offset combined into one? glade?
anyways, in your ini file, do you have the POSITION_FILE set in your ini?

Position_File is set to position.txt in the INI, it is filled with 6 rows of 0,00000.
I had to look it up in the documentation, but it says this is for storing the axis values at shutdown. (After shutdown the values change to the Axis values)
But as I see it this has nothing to do with the Work offsets...
Yes it is a glade panel, those two are standard widgets, so no effort at all to create. But i can share it of course.
This INI command is used:

[list]
[*][i]POSITION_FILE = position.txt[/i] - If set to a non-empty value, the joint positions are stored between runs in this file. This allows the machine to start with the same coordinates it had on shutdown. This assumes there was no movement of the machine while powered off. If unset, joint positions are not stored and will begin at 0 each time LinuxCNC is started. This can help on smaller machines without home switches.
