Hi Stewart,
within version 2.8 (and probably from some older versions but I’m too lazy to test all of them ) the filename for an export is automatically computed with the 20 first characters of the STL file, then a dash and an iteration counter. As I use very long filenames I must for each new export reset it to the whole input filename.
Would it be possible to set in the preferences or the machine definition tab a file naming scheme using macros like for example {file}-{version} or {file:20}-{version} ? Anything between { and } will be macros, their list is to be defined : in my example I used {file} for the STL input filename without its extension and {version} for the iteration counter. By default the whole value of a marker will be used, the syntax :xxx could be used to reduce its length : {file} is the full filename, {file:20} is the filename truncated at 20 characters. All the characters outside {} will be constants to use as is in the filename generation.
The Gcode file extension, defined in the machine definition should be appended to the generated filename.
