Developer discussion is done over on GitHub. You are free to add your feature requests there, however please review the contribution guidelines before posting.

I think your requests are reasonable, however I don't think there is a high demand for these features right now. Nevertheless you can add them to the issue tracker and we will keep them in mind. Also MatterControl is open source, so if you are a developer you are welcome to add these features on your own and submit a pull request.

An interesting idea, thanks. I'll make a note for the development team.

I would like to see this feature, but it's complicated. As @ryan.lutz says, printers all heat up at different rates. Not only does your brand of heat element play a factor, but also the firmware used on the printer itself. Namely most firmwares I know of (if not all) use a PID algorithm to heat up the element, depending on your hardware, what PID settings you have calibrated, the temperature of the element to begin with, and the temperature of the environment outside, you will get drastically different heat times. I believe you can get a ballpark figure, though.

This is something that could get implemented on MatterControl itself, but I think it makes more sense that this be something built into the firmware instead. It would also keep track of heating times even when your printer through SD and not through MatterControl.

Or even an option to sort like in other file lists in virtually all other software that list files.

Also pretty please.

@2yrrah said in Nozzle position read-out:

Hello,I am investigating the use of Matter Control to replace Repetier-Host. R-H provides a numerical read-out for each of the 3 axis to show the absolute position of the nozzle with respect to the home position. Does MC have this feature? If so, where would I find it, or turn it on?Thanks

I'm thrilled to explore the possibility of using Matter Control as a replacement for Repetier-Host. In regards to the numerical read-out for each axis, Matter Control indeed provides a feature to display the absolute position of the nozzle with respect to the home position. To access this, simply launch Matter Control, connect to your printer, and navigate to the "Controls" tab or menu. Once there, you can find the numerical read-outs for each axis. I hope this information helps you in your transition to Matter Control, and if you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
