How do I close a g-code file in Gmocapy?

I can't seem to find a close file button anywhere.

When I make changes to my g-code, I generally go back to my Fusion 360 Windows PC, make my changes and re-post. I post to Dropbox which syncs to the LinuxCNC machine if the file is locked the new file won't transfer therefore I need to close the file so I can get the new one.

Is there a close file button I'm missing?

Thanks

This is not a GUI matter, IMHO no GUI can close the loaded file. Did you try the reload file button?

Yes Norbert is correct. If you open a gcode file in Linuxcnc, the file is locked for write, and cannot be overwritten while Linuxcnc has the file open. The only workaround I have found is to open a different file in Linuxcnc, then reposting the file will work and you can then re open the file you have modified.

I would disagree as i do save the already opened file in LinuxCNC several times during a single day, so i can confirm that LinuxCNC does not lock an opened gcode file for reading or writing or deleting. I use the Axis GUI.

Ok Tommylight, I will double check this when I return home later this week. I have had the same problem as rogerfries while trying to overwrite a file on my local network while linuxcnc has it open and concluded it was locked. I use gmoccapy. I will test with axis as well and report back.

I have the same results as Tom, it works fine.
