[ENHANCEMENT] Default File Sorting / Filtering in Prusa Link

[markdesouza]

Enter what type of printer or upgrade the enhancement applies to. Prusa Mini + Prusa Link

Is your suggested improvement related to an existing problem? Please describe. Under the storage tab the files are listed in alphabetical order and macos index/meta files (ie ._ ) are shown

Describe the expected functionality The files should be displayed in descending modification time order (similar to the actual printer) and macos index/meta files should be hidden

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is not the correct repository. The issue will be moved to prusa3d/Prusa-Link-Web. We already have issues about sorting (https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Link-Web/issues/272, https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Link-Web/issues/309) but not about filtering files apparently.

Yes, please add this feature.

I have a work around - add the date & time to the file output with placeholders - now files are sorted in date order in prusa link, descending date order, but still helpful I think. Just add placeholders to the output file name configuration. Placeholders listed below and screen shots of an example and my config. :+1:

The string I use for output filename is: {year}-{month}-{day}-{hour}h{minute}m-{input_filename_base}0.4n{layer_height}mm_{printing_filament_types}{printer_model}{print_time}.gcode

I agree that descending modification time order sorting of the files would be good and this would match what the printer LCD interface shows (which is very helpful there).
