Output Settings to HTML Plugin

[johnnygizmo 1]

Hey everyone, I'm working on a plugin to output all settings to an HTML table. I've got the basics working. 

 

It shows ALL settings and greys out the ones that are disabled. Is this something people will be interested in?

Oh yes, that's what many users want, I think. But it should also be compact enough to print it clearly on one or two A4 pages.

 

See for example here:

Yeah, I need to work on the output format for sure. There are a LOT of settings.

 

I've started a repo for this plugin here if you want to check it out.

Or you could use the plugin that we use ourselves for debugging the settings. It might have a bit too much features for some of you. You can find it on https://github.com/sedwards2009/cura-god-mode-plugin

 

As for listing all settings; It's already over 500 settings. A fair number of those settings are settable per extruder, so i don't see how it's possible to have them and readable and fit on 2 a4 sheets.

Thanks for sharing!!

 

Just  minor a suggestion: could you paste the description you put on github also directly into the plugin.json? it might be easier to find the way if also in cura's toolbox this extended info is visible ?

I'm using Cura 3.3.1 on windows7

 

The new menu option does'nt appear in the File menu ?

Please do keep working on the html concept. Even if we could just get a comma delimited text dump, I took a Java 101 class at the local college, maybe we could figure out how to pretty it up later. If you ever need someone who learned to program Alice, I am your man! LOL! Thanks for doing this.

I think it's not really necessary to have all 500+ settings on one or two A4 pages. For most users, the settings accessible on the user interface are probably sufficient as a printable list. Or the plug-in lets the user decide what to print on paper or not.

Here a link to a way to get all the settings at the beginning of the GCode File, so you can get it with a text editor

 

If necessary I'll explain this

JCD can I get your actual settings so I can compare what I have? Very good work! Thanks for that!
