Cura: Feature: ReadOnly Gcode Settings

[JRRN]

As a Gcode User I want to can see in readonly mode configuration settings of a Gcode file.

The current status is that appears a message "Print Configuration is disables. You can't modify the GCode File".

[fieldOfView]

Not all settings can be read from the gcode file. Some can be inferred. But there is not enough information in the gcode file to restore all settings.

If you open the gcode file, you can recover some settings about it:

Yes, that lists the changes that the user made (not in a default profile). It's being used by Ultimaker's support to see if the user changed anything weird. It should not list all 600 settings for every extruder, because that makes it unusable for a quick review, impossible to trace back which settings were changed by the user (and which came from a profile) and also breaks the functionality of importing the g-code as a custom profile.

You could place those settings on top of a material file, but it will always be a guess since the g-code could be made with an older version of Cura and doesn't always contain all information necessary to reconstruct the settings, like which materials were used on each extruder, which nozzles were used, which extruder changes were applied, which printer changes were made or even which printer definition was used. Or it could even be made by an entirely different slicer.
