[Request] Option to force spool select before start printing #62

Closed gkrystev closed 6 years ago

gkrystev commented 6 years ago

It will be very useful if there is an option which forces the user to select loaded spool before start printing. I saw there is a feature request for RFID, which will automate the spool selection, but for manual mode, the force spool select will be useful, because from my experience, many times I just hit print and forgot to select the spool which is loaded on the printer.

Hi @gkrystev,

It looks like there is some information missing in your ticket that will be needed in order to reproduce and fix the problem at hand. Please take a look at the Issue Template, which will tell you exactly what your ticket has to contain in order to be processable.

If you did not intend to report a bug but have a question or want to request a feature add a "[Question]" respectively "[Request]" prefix to the title.

I'm marking this one now as an incomplete ticket. Please understand that if you do not provide that information within the next two weeks (until 2018-01-09 12:45) I'll close this ticket so it doesn't clutter the bug tracker.

Have you tried the extra confirmation dialog which can be enabled in the settings?

gkrystev commented 6 years ago

Did not saw this option till now.

However, when the option is enabled, I'm getting a dialog that I need to confirm a spool, with only "Cancel" and "Start Print" button, but the "Start Print" button is always grayed out and can't continue. Honestly I expected to see something like the selected spool if any was selected and if no spool was selected, to be able to select one and continue.

Also, this dialog appears only when starting the print with the "Print" button, but if I'm using the "Load and Print" button (located by each file) there is no any warning/conformation dialog at all.

You have to select the same spool you have selected in the sidebar.

Honestly I expected to see something like the selected spool if any was selected and if no spool was selected, to be able to select one and continue.

You can read #36 if you want to know why it is designed that way.

Fixed on the devel branch. The confirmation dialog also appears now when using "Load and Print".
