I'm giving this a try (SF44) and I'm finding it to be a little disorienting, although I think I can push through to the end. Little things are really big when getting started I guess. For example, where does start.gcode go? I see one in ~/.skeinforge/alterations/start.gcode, and I see one in skeinforge_application/alterations/start.gcode... and yet neither of them is being read when I produce test_export.g! Also, why is the suffix .g now, rather than .gcode? I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
Anyway, I think this path will be worthwhile in the end, it's just hard slogging at first, especially without beautiful 3D objects to show for the effort so far
