Plugin allows for the upload and conversion of bgcode files introduced in PrusaSlicer version 2.7.0+. I cannot control what is in the file during the conversion process, this plugin is just using the tool provided by PrusaResearch to convert from one format to another. If there are issues related to the ascii format file that cause other plugins to not work then you should open an issue on the conflicting plugin's repository, the PrusaResearch repository for the tool here, or for PrusaSlicer here. See below for currently known conflicting plugins and related errors.

If installing on Windows or on octo4a you'll need some additional applications installed to complete the build process prior to installing the plugin. These are already included on OctoPi image, and possibly octoprint_deploy installations (need to verify).

Install Visual Studio Community 2019, or higher from visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/. Older versions are not supported as libbgcode requires support for C++17. Select all workload options for C++ and make sure to launch Visual Studio after install (to ensure that the full setup completes).
