CURA just gets better and better. Now, the greatest improvement you could make (IMHO) is to improve start time for the program, which, sadly, is abysmal. On my i5 laptop, it takes over TWO MINUTES to load CURA to the point where the UI is displayed and ready to go. Surely the clever people at Ultimaker can improve on this. Having said that, thanks for a great program. Ron Ventura

I love the File Name and Layer Number Post-processing plug-in, but have a suggestion to make it even better. Currently the format is something like Layer {current layer} {file name} of {total layers} It would be really handy if the format was change slightly to something like Layer {current layer} of {total layers} {file name} or Layer {current layer}/{total layers} {file name} That way you could see at a glance how many layers still had to print. "Layer" could also be abbreviated to "Lyr" to save space. I currently get around this by previewing my file to see how many layers there are, and Editing the Object List Text, putting /nnn before the object name. Thanks Ron Ventura

I want to modify the Modify Display Filename and Layer on LCD Plug-In so the total number of layers is displayed at the beginning of the line instead of the end. I tried the following: Opened DisplayFilenameAndLayerOnLCD.py from the C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.4\plugins\PostProcessingPlugin\scripts folder into a text editor (after backing it up). Modified line 75 of the script to read display_text = lcd_text + str(i) + "/" + max_layer + " " + name (i.e. added + "/" + max_layer) Saved the script. Restarted Cura and resliced my file. There was NO CHANGE to the generated GCode. So I shut down Cura and restarted my PC. Opened Cura and resliced the file. Still no change There's obviously a magic ingredient missing here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Hi RadioDoc. Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible) you are looking for the variable max_layer. I have other issues with this plug-in, which I'll raise in a separate post. hope thius helps. I note this is an old post, so you've probably sorted it by now.
