File Manager Suggestions

Please consider the following improvements to your file manager.

Controller

  • Permit multiple selections.
  • Add a “Don’t ask again” feature so that I don’t have confirm every time.
  • Add an edit capability in the file manager such that I can modify lines in the file. I wouldn’t mind using files as macros if I could edit the file at the controller.
  • In the Run window file view add a Jump to Z and a Jump to Tool Change capability. Having to scroll thru looking for such in order to set the starting line is currently painful

Web Interface

  • Add a “Don’t ask again” feature so that I don’t have to click three times to delete a file.
  • Add the capability to create folders and move files.
  • Add download file
  • Add a view and/or edit file pane of selected file to permit viewing the header lines of a file or to modify lines.

API/Plugin
Since you choice to be a proprietary firmware please add an API interface so we can add capabilities.

I would love to be on your firmware team :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hey Dave, thanks for the feedback. It is greatly appreciated and helps make the system better for everyone. Please see my individual comments below.

Most users primarily use the touchscreen (i.e. They do not plug in a keyboard and mouse) so we would have to look at a press-and-hold system for multi select or maybe adding check boxes beside each file/folder.

This is a great idea. We don’t have time to add this to version 1.1.1 which is releasing in the next few days, but I will add it to the list of priorities for 1.1.2.

This is actively in development now.

Another great idea. Added to the feature development list.

Will do.

These items are also already on our feature development roadmap. I will keep you updated.

This is a big one and we are having internal discussions but no timeline at this point.
