Problem or Use Case

I am not really into the archive's way of showing multiple prints of the same object. It's hard to distinguish similar objects, it doesn't tell how many time each has been printed at a glance, it easily clutters the UI. I really like Mainsail's way of showing history.

Dev will start with 0.2.1b.

Proposed Solution

Wishlist:

Add a group filter that compacts duplicates prints of the same object together in Archive grid/list view. Tis setting persists sessions
Add a counter of times printed (like in the file manager) and a status indicator of the last print (successful/cancelled) to at least the Archive list view
Add dropdown menu on click in list view to show all grouped? Idk, there's not much sense in keeping full duplicates if the info that changes is very little, and not that relevant. Might be useful for future features though
Fit more info in list view, both for Archives and File, by compressing height of listings
Add customizable UI columns to let the user choose which metadata to show in Archive list view, and possibly File manager list view
Fit all of the above to work with incoming Archive log view
Improve selection with bigger click areas, area selections
