Display an object model string on the 12864 lcd screen
-
Hi!
I'm trying to display the filename of the current job on the 12864 display. Is there a way to do this? text only seems to accept hardcoded strings and I can't get value to show anything except numbers. -

@KP0005 update, on 3.5.0 beta 4 "value" does accept strings.
There's still one issue - the filenames are generally too long to be shown in their entirety. It wpuld be nice if the firmware supported multiline text or maybe horizontally scrolling things that are too long, but that's more wishlist territory.

@KP0005 Oops, my mistake. I'm on firmware 3.4.5 which doesn't support object model varianles in the menu at all. I'll report back once I update to the current beta.
