Firmware Type question during PrusaSlicer installation #12732

Open fscheps opened 1 month ago

Description of the bug

While installing version 2.7.4 on the Mac with an M1 Ultra chip, I was asked to select which printer I was going to use, I selected the Prusa XL 2T I have. A couple of steps later I was asked which type of firmware my printer uses. I have no clue, but the default selection is "RepRap/Sprinter". This should be pre-filled with the default based on the selected printer on previous steps, or at least a reference to what firmware is the one used by the Prusa printers without pre-selecting anything and avoiding potential future issues.

The following screen also asks the Bed Shape and Size, if I selected the Pusa XL, the slicer wizard should already know this. Lets make it simple for everyone whenever possible 😉

You don't have to fill-in custom printer section. It's meant for custom non-Prusa printers.

@rtyr you’re right, however the user experience could definitely be improved, and it is, apparently, confusing to some users. I would file this as improvement, low priority.
