Make long filenames visible

Hello is it possible to make long filenames visible. We use them to put in information like the build plate used and part version numbers and only a part of the filename is visible.
Cheers

Agreed! There is plenty of space on the X1C display but we only see a few letters then … please allow more letters to show on the display

Also the “wrong plate ( not matching gcode) error is frustrating. Its not enough to know the plate is wrong. We also need to know which is the correct one! If the error said something like " Wrong plate installed. Please change to Textured Plate” it would be useful.

As it is now we have to open the file in slicer to find the correct plate. We keep our finished files on SD card for our staff to reprint as needed. But since its hard to see the whole filename (which includes the plate needed) they may start the print with wrong plate. And then there is no easy way to find out what actual plate is needed.

YES PLEASE. We have printer type, nozzle and filament codes in the filenames and so it gets very easily too long. This should be an easy fix for the developers. Perhaps show list or icons? Just like in any popular OS… (X1E Printer!)

Maybe these requests should be posted on their github to see if they can get addressed. Not sure how much the developers read this forum. But also not sure how to add requests to their firmware Github. Anyone?

Feature requests are entered by going to Issues · bambulab/BambuStudio · GitHub, and clicking the green button “New Issue”. That will provide a new menu with the option for a Feature Request, and a simple form to fill out with your idea. (You will be prompted to register a Github username/password if you do not have one already.)

Bug reports are submitted in a similar way, usually with a zip file containing logs, models, pictures, etc.
