Continuing the testing, I installed chirp with "python setup.py install" while in the "chirp-daily-20150513" directory.
Setup installed the stock config files in "/usr/local/share/chirp/stock_configs" while the chirp expects to find them in "/usr/share/chirp/stock_configs".
Looks like a misunderstanding between chirp and the setup.py defaults, that may affect Mac as well as Ubuntu.
Quick and dirty fix, I created a symbolic link at the expected directory with "ln -s ../local/share/chirp /usr/share/chirp". I think I had to restart chirp twice before it picked up the "File->Open stock config" and "Radio>Import from stock config" menu items.

Rich,
I am running chirp on Ubuntu 14.02. I can create your symptoms if I delete both directory "chirp-daily-20150513/stock_configs/" and "~/.chirp/stock_configs/" (during init, chirp copies chirp-daily stock config files to ~/.chirp/stock_config and initializes the application to use the files under my home directory).
I don't "install" chirp but simply extract the daily build and run it in place. An installed version may expect the source stock_configs/ files elsewhere (I think /usr/share/chirp on Ubuntu).
I don't know much about the Mac, but for some reason it can't seem to find the stock_config/* files that are part of the distribution so it doesn't create the corresponding menu items.

Morning All,
I downloaded the daily build that was made available this morning. No luck - the Import from stock config option is still nowhere to be found.
Here are all of the choices under the Menu options: CHIRP: Get Help Online / About / Services / Hide / Hide others / Show All / Quit File: New / Open / Recent / Save / Save As / Import / Export / Close Edit: Cut / Copy /Paste / Delete / Select All / Move Up /Move Down / Exchange / Properties / Start dictation / Emoji & Symbols View: Columns / Hide Unused Fields / Smart tone modes / Change language Radio: Download from Radio / Upload to Radio / Import from Data Source / Query from Data Source / Channel defaults / Stop Help: Report Statistics / Enable developer functions The only greyed out choice is Stop (under Radio). KK7DS Python Runtime R10 is installed. I was able to successfully download info from RepeaterBook, so Chirp is partially working. Just no sign of stock config anywhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Jim Unroe <rock.unroe@gmail.com <mailto:rock.unroe@gmail.com>> *To:* Rich Carlson <astrofan15@yahoo.com <mailto:astrofan15@yahoo.com>> *Sent:* Tuesday, May 12, 2015 5:59 PM *Subject:* Re: [chirp_users] Import from stock config - option not available So if you click "File", is there an "Open stock config" option? This would be the same files. They just open in a separate tab. You would just cut-and-paste them to where you want them instead of import them directly.

You do have the "KK7DS Python runtime" installed, right? Jim KC9HI
