# The first commit's message is:
SD Card Alpha Sorting
First iteration of alphabetical sorting for SD cards, both
slow+efficient and fast+rammy. Option for folders to sort first, last,
or not at all.
# This is the 2nd commit message:
Expand on More RAM concept, address minor bugs
# This is the 3rd commit message:
Improvements, more SORT_USES_MORE_RAM
With this option, always keeps the dir in RAM, doubling as a cache for
getfilename. A board with only 8K of SRAM is cutting it very close.
# This is the 4th commit message:
Completed SORT_USES_MORE_RAM implementation
For the MORE_RAM option we need to buffer both the short and long
names, even though long names are sometimes redundant. Worst case, all
the names are max length. We can save some RAM by not storing these. We
could save more RAM by only storing the visible part of the long name.
FW retraction is extended onto swap retraction invoked by 'G10 S1'.
Bookkeeping of the retract state of all extruders allows for having one
extruder fw standard retracted while another extruder is swap retracted.
An LCD menu item for the swap retract and recover length was added.
This is _not_ automatically the cronological, since deleting a file will free
the filesystem descriptor for it, which then will be used by the next file copied on it.
Since this makes the auto0.g file very inaccessible, I put the option back, to have it in the prepare menu.
this should satisfy https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/pull/373
as a reminder, auto0.g will be executed every time after a boot with sd card present and file present.
thereafter, if there is a file auto1.g this will be done. Thats IMHO the best place to put settings, and prepare heating.
I also execute again after each (now again via the prepare menu) before starting a new print/ after a failed one.
It for me 100% replaces any start.gcode form the slicers.
also, removed some trouble for compilation with corexy.
I think that babystepping is only possible in z for a delta tower.
not sure if it would be usefull to step individual motors on a delta, i don't own one
It is a realtime control over the head position via the LCD menu system that works _while_ printing.
Using it, one can e.g. tune the z-position in realtime, while printing the first layer.
Also, lost steps can be manually added/removed, but thats not the prime feature.
Stuff is placed into the Tune->Babystep *
It is not possible to have realtime control via gcode sending due to the buffering, so I did not include a gcode yet. However, it could be added, but it movements will not be realtime then.
Historically, a very similar thing was implemented for the "Kaamermaker" project, while Joris was babysitting his offspring, hence the name.
say goodby to fuddling around with the z-axis.
