Professionally I use Linux for everything. FreeCAD makes me smile with its support for the OS.
Therefore I'm using the monolithic AppImage for execution of the application. I would like to write my own postprocessor. Where do I place the postprocessor so that the application can find it?

Hi borissl, welcome to FreeCAD.
The post processor should follow the naming convention <nameOfControl>_post.py. The _post.py is required! You place it in your macro directory.

Wow, that's easy. Too easy. Guess that's why I missed that part. Thanks for the quick reply.
Re: Linux APP Image - How to add custom postprocessor
I just saw that you use the Appimage. Please report if it works or not.
If you want to develop your own postprocessor it is a good idea to start with the linuxcnc because it is well serviced and widely used.

I'm going to be writing it for the Siemens 828 and Siemens 802.

Apologies for digging this post out of the grave, But @borresl did you ever finish your post processor and can you share it?

Still working on it. Had limited success and had to walk away. Back in the code saddle and writing them now.

Note: Snap edge (nightly) is also great for developing.
