Thank you

M117 Name
in gcode and disable showing layer/print time/.. to not override the status line with new infos.
Or are you aware of a gcode which does that?
- M117 is used for File_Name
- M73 is used for progress
I do not have my Ender 3 V2 with Jyers on right now, but my Aquila running Alex (the Aquila port of Jyers) is showing the M73 progress data as expected.If there was a way to get the file name in RS as a variable, we could use the GCode > Event > 1. Start to add the M117 %Var_FileName% like it is done in Octoprint script, as linked above.
M73 is already used by server to send progress.
In my case, I compiled my own Marlin 2.0.8 FW with some customization and enabled the M117 and M73 capabilities before compiling. Once I flashed this everything works fine and my Ender 3 is also just better in general so yeah, maybe consider firmware.
With octoprint i have on "before print job starts" : M75 {{ event.name }}
In this way, the name of the sent gcode file appears on the display.
Using Repetier, {{event.name}} appears on the display. What is the variable for the gcode filename?
