Hmmm
I'm thinking of reducing confusion and avoid showing too many options for people who don’t use the draft shield at all (which is probably 99.9% of users TBH)
I suggest we make following changes instead, please let me what do you think.

  1. The skirt will respect the skirt height unless the draft shield option is enabled.
  2. If the draft shield is enabled, Orca will disable the skirt height option and display a new option: 'Single loop draft shield.' If this option is selected, Orca will ignore skirt loops for layers beyond the first and create a single loop."

Makes sense I think - so basically always print a full fat, all perimeter skirt and if a draft shield is selected, disable the skirt height option (as it does today) and display the option to have a single or multiple wall draft shield, if I got you right?

Any chance this will be resolved in the final version 2.3 please?

I’ll try to find some time over the weekend to address softfever’s feedback and hopefully this could make it into the next beta.
