SFact endgcode

Hi,
I hope I'm in the right category cause I couldn't find an SFact one.
I want to add a gcode file to the end of each gcode file generated by sfact. which works after one finds the right folder ;-P
but my problem is SFact is changing my gcode Everytime I retract filament.
This is part of my end.gcode:
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
G91 ; relativ coords
G1 E-2 F900 ; retract filament
G1 Z5 ; move z 5 mm up

G90 ; absolute coordinates
G1 X5 ; go to X=5

and thats how it is written to the output file:

M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
G91 ; relativ coords
G1 F9000 E-20
G1 Z500

G90 ; absolute coordinates
G1 X50

any ideas why this is happening? and what I can do to change it?

Hi Etherflash,
as SFACT is a modified (automated?) version of Skeinforge it is under Skeinforge..
1-Find the correct folder. The correct folder is the "alterations" folder. This folder is placed in the same folder as the sfact.py file is. (ignore the other ones if any other ones exist... Actually You can delete them. If they reappear You are doing something wrong with startup..
2-make sure the filename extension used in SFACT matches the one You want to use.. (I is most probably gmc (G-code MaCro) if You havent changed it..

And... Are you using the recent one from git?

I'm using the latest from git. downloaded yesterday. The file is appended to the exported gcode but changed as I described in my previous post.
G1 X1 becomes G1 X10
and G1 E-5 F900 becomes G1 E-50 F9000
So every value from g1 is multiplied by 10

Concerning the folder:
I'm using the alterations folder found under \sfact_profiles\ because the other had no effect at all.
