This is an open collection of ideas I like for my fork (no guarantee that these will ever implemented):

  • Make building a windows 10 executable file possible --> done
  • Additional temperature gauge for a second extruder --> done
  • Additional temperature gauge for a second bed --> done
  • Add second extruder temperature to temperature graph window --> done
  • Add second bed temperature to temperature graph window --> done
  • Add control of bed temperature for second bed similar to tool selection
  • Make translation working again --> done
  • Update obsolete and wrong german translation's --> in progress 100% done for old master file, need first review
  • Make on the fly language change possible
  • Save users language preference in configuration file
  • Check, if I need an additional global setting variable for storing the language code and available translations
  • Make an selectable entry for preferred language in Menu ->Settings ->User interface
  • Create a new translation catalog file for original master and my gauges repository
  • Find a solution for automatic update of master pot files when releasing a new update
  • Add a direct fan control similar as for Print flow and Print speed.
  • Find solution for strange behavior of Temperature graph window: It immediately disappear somewhere in background as soon as the mouse pointer loose focus for this window and move over the build plate window
  • Find solution for changing bed temperature via mouse wheel too: With pointing the mouse to the heater gauge and turning the mouse wheel change temperature for the active heater / tool. Moving the mouse focus to the bed temperature gauge and turning the wheel don't change the bed temperature but instead the heater temperature.
  • Change how Material management works: For me this isn't a really useful part of the program. Manual update for the rest of material onto a spool - input is in mm or via clicking on +- push buttons with a fixed length. A user don't want to rewind/measure a 5Kg spool first to get this information (or calculating this with an external program, or by hand). Usually this should be done with input of the spool weight and then recalculated from the program it self. Most information would be available for doing this but, once a material was added the user can't find the information anywhere again. Only a length information is available. Adding a additional field for weight of an empty spool is as well a really handy information to make a correct calculation. Displaying and modifying of the complete information for a spool is necessary.
  • Add additional help entry under menu Help with all supported keyboard shortcuts.
  • Fully Automated script for building virtual environment (+ update of itself and involved modules, if needed) and then build Pronterface for Windows 10. --> done
  • Baby-Step Modus
