# 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.
This leads to the command not being acknowledged properly
by the firmware, leading to consecutive issues in host software
waiting for an acknowledgement.
If a print is stopped, it would be nice in the future to write a file with the printer state, the filename of the print, and the position within the print.
this file could be read, to continue a previously stopped print.
not finished yet.
by overloading M32 it is now possible to execute gcode files from other gcode files, with a fixed recursion level.
This can be used e.g. for having a real start.g and end.g somewhere on the sd card, which are then called from the normal print file.
Another usecase would be to have macro-files for nozzle-change and layerchange.
I have not tested the speedwise performance. The testing was done with pronterface.
syntax:
normal call from sd card will open the new file and continue executing there.
M32 !/path/filename#
this however will call the new file and return to the caller file.
M32 P !/path/filename#
with the optional "S<position>" the file starting position can be set.
this is for continuing prints from a previous location.
One array was too short. This had nothing to do with long filenames, other than if they were 12 characters exactly, which could only happen if the extension and the text before were filled completely
