Hello!

First, great idea for a project really dig it! When I went to create a config from the default marlin for my printer at first I kept getting an empty set of settings in the yml file. I realized I was being thick and when specifying the marlin folder i was specifying the root folder of the cloned marlin repo NOT the Marlin subfolder that contains the actual firmware. Once I added that subfolder it created the config fine.

So I would just suggest to add a feature that gives a warning if it does not find the firmware rather than spitting out an empty config. Might help some people, particularly if they are unfamiliar with Docker and its volume mounts and don't end up mounting the volumes correctly.

Great job, looking forward to see how this project progresses!

Want to parse this to profile:

    #define MMU2_LOAD_TO_NOZZLE_SEQUENCE \
      {  7.2,  562 }, \
      { 14.4,  871 }, \
      { 36.0, 1393 }, \
      { 14.4,  871 }, \
      { 50.0,  198 }

Expected something like that:

enabled:
  MMU2_LOAD_TO_NOZZLE_SEQUENCE: "\
      {  7.2,  562 }, \
      { 14.4,  871 }, \
      { 36.0, 1393 }, \
      { 14.4,  871 }, \
      { 50.0,  198 }"

Actual:

enabled:
  MMU2_LOAD_TO_NOZZLE_SEQUENCE: \

As a user
I want to be able to take an existingly modified version of Marlin, plus the original unmodified Marlin source that it was derived from, and generate a profile yaml file which only contains the changes that were made to the unmodified source to get to the modified version.
So that I can take my existing modified marlin and create as minimal a profile.yaml as possible

TLDR, I think that while the generate-profile command is nice, it creates a lot of noise - you end up with every single constant and the current value (Be it the original value or your new one), when all you really are interested in is what you changed

Given an unaltered Marlin folder Marlin
And a modified Marlin folder Modified
When I execute a command similar to marlin-console-configurator generate-profile ./Marlin ./Modified -d ./diff.yaml
Then diff.yaml is created with ONLY the differences between Marlin and Modified

ie:
Original Marlin source (Marlin\Configuration.h):

//#define CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME "3D Printer"
#define SOME_CONSTANT "Foo"

Modified Marlin source (Modified\Configuration.h)

#define CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME "MyPrinterName"
#define SOME_CONSTANT "Foo"

Output (diff.yaml):

enabled:
   CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME: '"MyPrinterName"'

This is a feature request to make the default output of apply operation to hide files and settings that will not be changed to show only the differences unless verbose output is requested.

This is needed particularly when dealing with Marlin 1.X due to the sheer number of files it lists. It is a huge list of "nothing to do" to sift through to see the actual changes.

Thanks again!

Hi, I cannot get this software to work - any ideas what I am doing wrong?

marlin-console-configurator apply ./Marlin -p ./profile.yaml
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot construct instance of `java.util.LinkedHashMap` (although at least one Creator exists): no String-argument constructor/factory method to deserialize from String value ('CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME "foo"')
 at [Source: (byte[])"enabled:
  CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME "foo"
"; line: 2, column: 3] (through reference chain: fr.chuckame.marlinfw.configurator.profile.ProfileProperties["enabled"])

profile.yaml:

enabled:
  CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME: '"foo"'

Am on windows, also tried marlin-console-configurator apply .\Marlin -p .\profile.yaml but same error
