I have two issues that byte me every time I have to upgrade my Linux distro this runs on.
1) It is really quite tedious to change all the config file parameters to make dxf2gcode work with my Isel CNC machines.
Once configured, it works very nicely.
However, for some mysterious reason, dx2gcode newer versions are almost never backward compatible with previous version config files.
I usually get an error message that I have to "carefully edit my config files for the new version"
This is a painful process every time.
Question: Why not just make the config files backward compatible. I mean it makes a lot of sense as users with custom configs has quite extensive config changes.
2) Why is there no Version for dxf2gcode in Help about ?
Technically there should, since when dxf2gcode, as newly installed is started, then it tells you that you have version-X config files, but you need to edit them for expected Version-Y.
Since your error messages in dxf2gcode refers to version numbers, it is obvious that you should display version number of the software in about:config.
To make matters worse, the .deb binary does not have any recognizable version remotely related to the version numbers as stated in the error messages for the software.
