Linuxcnc always wants to update my INI file

I think Version 1.1 must be adapted. A while agoo there was something about it here on the forum

Is this fixed?

Hello
Not until now. I'm still looking for a solution.

What happens if you allow LinuxCNC to update the INI file?

if i try to update i get an error.

Interesting. Does your INI file have an [EMC] section?

(I wrote the update_Ini script, and it looks like you have found a bug in it)

Can you attach the current INI and also the oldest one in the "old" directory of the same config directory?
