How do you make sure your klipper macro can show up in the 'Macros' section? | Mainsail | Page 1

I have PRIME_NOZZLE showing as well as PRINT_START, PRINT_END, but _TOOLHEAD_PARK as well as pause/resume/cancel_print are not options. Is it because I have a 'description' set for the latter? Can't seem to find doc on this.

The rules are easy:

Any macro startet with _ will not been shown. These can be seen as “helper” macros tht you never want to execute alone
Any macro that contains rename_existing will not been shown. These are modified Klipper stock macros that are in many cases used in the UI anyhow. So e.g. your PAUSE\RESUME\CANCEL_PRINT` are shown while printing in the UI.

#

All others are either shown directly if you use the “simple” macro management or can be added to any group if you use the expert mode.

And the description is the text you get if you hit ? or type HELP in the console. Personally I would add a description to any macro but I might have a few more than you 😉

That’s an output of HELP, it shows your own combined with the Klipper stock
