@Phaedrux said in Tool fans representation within DWC:
tool fan 0 duplicates print cool fan 1
tool fan 1 duplicates print cool fan 2
Maybe if I explain in another way.
The tool fan slider controls the fans defined in the M563 command of the currently selected tool.
the other sliders control the fans defined by M950/M106 directly.
I try to explain again:
Status-quo: "print-cool-fan" is duplicating "tool-fan" so nothing worse here:

The only change would be from:

to

If only the active tool is shown then there is no duplication more than now, because if you do not want to see the "enclosed" fans you simply "close" the "triangle/arrowhead". (I am sure you are familiar with this kind of representations from file-managers).
But still there is the benefit that it is clear that the tool-fan is ruling "all" fans for that tool (of course only non-thermostatic ones) and it nicely lists all those for the user. (At least for me it would be way more clear what is going on. But forum entries suggest that a lot of other people right know with the current userinterface can get confused about the purpose and behaviour of the "tool fan(s)"
By indenting you can differentiate between:
fans of that tool
independant fans
I think on the long run it would be much clearer what is going on:

And, you would have in this example e.g. the same 5 fans listed in DWC, just that with indenting it would be clearer on what controls what
