Name inside G-code

Hello,

Is there a way to remove (or better, not generate) the filename inside gcode by cura4.0.0?
ex. M117 Tail_1.0 layer: 0.  Tail_1.0 is my filename. (appears with each layer change)
I do not want to use the search and replace plugin.

Thanks

    The " M117 Tail_1.0 layer: 0 " line that you quote is put there by a postprocessing script ("Display filename and layer on LCD"). This script has a setting called "text to display". If you enter anything at all there, that will be used instead of the filename.

    I really want to display the layer number, but I do not want to display the filename on LCD, there is no space in my LCD. 

    I know I can use search and replace to replace to remove the filename, but I need to enter in every g-code change the search field, etc...

    In my understanding there should or might be an option to do this in the Configure Cura menu automatically.

    As this option does not exist yet, I will use the search and replace to do the job.

    Enter anything in the "text to display" field of the postprocessing script. A space, an exclamation mark, my name. Just don't leave it blank.

    Ok, now I get it, I tested it and it works great, bye bye filename.
    Thank you very much Ahoeben.
