changing the default gcodes directory

Boxy

Is it possible to set the default "gcodes" directory to be on SD1(the secondary SD card) at SD1:/ - or even SD1:/GCODES/.

@Boxy in what context do you want to change the default GCodes directory? Do you mean for use by GCode commands that don't specify a path, such as M32 and M20? Or do you mean for user interfaces that list job files e.g. DWC and PanelDue? Or something else?

@dc42 HI Thank you for the useful questions :
I will be more exact!.
What I need it to be able to access VIA a USB cable a front mounted Accessible SD card ( SD 1) ( or better USB memory stick)

I need to be able to a) load files b) run files, c) stop the printer, d)Home etc.

Unfortunately for this particular situation I cannot use Ehternet nor Wi-Fi.
.
It is important that I don't leave files on SD0 card - which should be inaccessible.

** Ideally I would also like to be able to run your excellent DWC from the USB cable. **

Yes using SD1:/ for the default .gcode directory would also be great -

I am currently using DUET 2 boards which I think are pretty good.

I have made significant changes to the PANELDUE interface.

I believe that I spoke briefly with you at TCT (5/6 years ago) - as I had the stand behind you. - sorry - I was probably a bit standoffish (no pun intended).
visited Duet and spoke with Sarah a few months ago - would love to chatto you with purpose!

@dc42 Hi again,
I realise that I am asking a lot. and some of the requests might not be possible or even sensible! Also I am very appreciative of any help at all. On the other side I am also very happy to contribute as you might think fit!

@Boxy I will drop you an email - this looks like quite a specific and potentially far reaching set of changes.
