TBH it is easier to make slicer name file with YYMMDDHHmm prefix
Unfortunately PanelDue sorts A-Z so the most recent files are at the bottom, requiring scrolling.
Would be really nice if PanelDue allowed you to set the sort order.

@richardmckenna diabase have a paneldue with encoder and click for their cnc machines, with the code on GitHub. It's based on the old M408 implementation though.

They have also made the UI portrait mode because that seems better for a pendant.

Actually this is meanwhile also based on
M409

as for the "useful features" go, I'd really like to have a screen with movement buttons arranged like in octoprint, or pronterface, or something in between
To me, that graphic displayed by Pronterface makes no sense at all. More than that, I hate it. So I guess it's a matter of personal preference.
I originally designed the layout of the controls on PanelDue to match Duet Web Control as far as was practical on a small screen, so as to provide a consistent user interface. Since then, DWC has moved on.

@dc42 well try to move stuff without looking at the screen but looking at what you are doing ... imho check this circle divided in 4 parts, put the finger in the middle and move your head to the printer, move your finger around and you are moving head .. more finger is from the center, you move it more... works without looking .. the layout as is now on the panel I have to use the stylus just to not move wrong axis by looking at the screen, without looking at the screen I can't do anything...
imho for paneldue it would be better to have a separate "how much" slider to decide by how much you are moving and then something like this circle and stripe for where (so no matter where in the quarter of the screen you touch you move by same set value)
anyhow, those are my preferences, but I'm using attm only one paneldue and mostly only for monitoring and don't remember last time I "touched" it and I don't think I'll be getting more of them so I'm ok with whatever you guy's make... I'm thinking about using old phones as interface, they can all run both web and some special app ..
