Possible to disable switch to Job Status when using BtnCmd?
-
I'm using a Mini 5+ ethernet to control a XY pen plotter. I made a very simple UI using the BtnCmd plugin. Most of the UI consists of simple buttons that control macros send gcode--I don't want any other information cluttering up the screen (which is very small). So far it's been working well. However, when beginning a plot, I don't want DWC to switch to the job summary tab, as literally non of the information there is useful during a plotting job (does not use layers, does not have heaters or extruders, and I don't care about the time remaining). Is there some way to disable the switch and stay in the BtnCmd window the whole time?
BtnCmd seemed like the best bet for me to build a simple interface in a relatively short timeframe, as everything else seems to require a working knowledge of Node-Red, APIs/machine state info, or MQTT, which I don't have.
Thanks for any guidance.

Or near my PC but I'm pretty sure there's a checkbox in DWC settings to turn off switching to the status page when a print starts. -
@OwenD I really hoped there would be too, but am unable to find such a setting in 3.4.6.

@usinjin
There is in 3.5b4, so won't be far away in a stable release.

@OwenD Thanks so much. I feel a bit silly that I didn't even think to check the beta releases. For now those will work for development purposes.
