Gcode files sorting, backup system

Meanwhile, you could always put the SD card in a PC and do a bulk delete.

I don't know when the update happened, but now you can delete all the files in one clic.
Select all, right clic, delete.

I'm here to second requests to be able to arrange the gcode files list by date.
For now, I name all my g-codes starting with the date and then the title. That way, when sorting by name they are actually sorted by date.

You can already arrange the gcode files by date if you upgrade DWC to 1.19.3. The same version also provides easy access to simulating a print to find out how long it will take. You can finds it in chrishamms's github repository, and also at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release/Duet-WiFi/Edge.

My thanks to chrishamm for implementing these features.

Nice, thanks David.

So does this work? I've upgraded to 1.19.3. If I right click on a file I see "Simulate File" and if I click on that I get the following:-

M37 P"5colourParts/5colorDiamond mount.gcode"
Simulation mode: off, move time: 0.0 sec, other time: 0.0 sec

I'm obviously missing a step somewhere.

Looks like you are running a version of RRF older than 1.19.

Copy and paste from DWC
Firmware Version: 1.19 (2017-08-14)

I can of course upgrade to a later version but I'm currently evaluating something so I don't want to make any changes until I've finished that evaluation.

My mistake, you need RRF 1.19.2 or 1.20beta1 to use that feature.

Ahh OK - no worries.

Can sorting by date also be implemented into PanelDue ? I normally upload my gcode straight from Cura (DuetRRF plugin) and if for some reason I need to stop the print, it becomes very difficult to find the right file on Paneldue to restart the print. So I have to either reupload (can take a while for big prints) or go to my computer and start from it.

Thanks

I've added it to the wish list, but it's unlikely to happen soon.

@RandomFactoid maybe I can implement something that will help you:
In the DuetRRF plugin, before actually uploading the new file, I could check if a file with the same name already exists. If yes, you could select "Overwrite" or "Restart print with this file". This assumes you have Cura still running with you current model & build plate.

Would this be of help to you?
