Fixed bugs:
- Fixed a regression issue that
--datadir
was broken in V1.9.0-alpha by @SoftFever - Fixed an issue where
exclude_object
code freezes printers running on old versions of Marlin/RRF firmwares which don't have this feature enabled as it was enabled by default in OrcaSlicer. This feature is now disabled by default. Klipper firmware won't freeze even if this feature is not enabled, so I have adjusted most Klipper-based profiles to enable it. Please check your profile just to make sure if it's on/off based on your actual situation/need. - Fixed an issue that the legend window expands to all available horizontal space if scrollbar is displayed by @Noisyfox
