First of all let me start by saying I love your plugin!

Only thing I'd love to see implement is octoprint support. I barely every export .gcode nowadays and print straight to octoprint. It's a shame we can't have the custom name + octoprint support :(

Hi,
I have experimented that if you use [base_name] in the template you can get duplicate text in your file name.
Try it :

1. load stl file
2. slice it
3. save it having [base_name] in the template
4. change samething in the print settings
5. slice again
6. save again and you will get all the template duplicated.

I have fixed it changing in this way the file ParseFileFormat.py but I'm not expert of Cure and Python too, so I think that will be a better way to do it.

import re
from UM.Logger import Logger #Adding messages to the log.

Substitute print setting values in filename format

def parseFilenameFormat(print_settings, filename_format):
base_name = print_settings["base_name"]
job_name = print_settings["job_name"]
Logger.log("d", "base_name %s", base_name)
Logger.log("d", "job_name %s", job_name)
no_base_name_format = filename_format
no_base_name_format = no_base_name_format.replace("[base_name]", "")
no_base_name_format = no_base_name_format.replace("[job_name]", "")

for setting, value in print_settings.items():
    filename_format = filename_format.replace("[" + setting + "]", str(value))
    no_base_name_format = no_base_name_format.replace("[" + setting + "]", str(value))            

no_base_name_format = re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9.,_\-%°$£€#\[\]\(\)\|\+\'\" ]+', '', no_base_name_format)
filename = re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9.,_\-%°$£€#\[\]\(\)\|\+\'\" ]+', '', filename_format)

Logger.log("d", "no_base_name_format %s", no_base_name_format)
Logger.log("d", "filename %s", filename)
if no_base_name_format in base_name:
    filename = base_name

return filename   

Hi, I use the material display name field to differentiate between PLA and PLA+, (using material type invalidates profiles), would it be possible to add this option to the settings?
I did check:https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/master/resources/i18n/fdmprinter.def.json.pot but couldn't see a relevant setting.
Cheers

I'm baaa-aaaackkkk..... :)

Can you add an option to tie the format to specific printer profile? I'd like to add something automatically into the format [not at the beginning, as the "prefix machine name" or whatever that option is] to identify for which printer it was sliced.

So I could do this (for example, with two of my printers, "Yellow" and "Blue", just by changing profiles, so I would not have to squint at the names to see that one is set up for one of my direct drive printers, the other for one of my Bowden tube printers):

Druid - Threaded PLA [Yellow] skirt|Infill 15%,cubic|Noz 0.4|LH 0.1|LW 0.4|Temps 230.0°,60°|Speed 50|RT 1,45|Support tree,63°|Coast-True

Druid - Threaded PLA [Blue] skirt|Infill 15%,cubic|Noz 0.4|LH 0.1|LW 0.4|Temps 230.0°,60°|Speed 50|RT 5,55|Support tree,63°|Coast-True

I can manually add the name into the file as I am saving it, but I sometimes forget.

Hi!

On Ultimaker Cura 4.8, Linux 64 Bits (Kubuntu 21.04) version, all the place holders for date and time aren't working.

Steps to reproduce:

1. On extension menu, choose "Gcode Filename Format" -> "Edit Format".
2. Put any date/time placeholder on the text input, beside brackets, for example "[date][time]" or "[year][month][day]"
3. Slice and select to "save gcode".
4. The replaced text is "none" on each placeholder related to date/time.

Thanks for the attention!

Hi. I'm using espwebdav for file upload and it buggy with non ascii and some other chars. Marlin may not like them too. Renaming every time annoying.

Would it possible to implement simple character replace table? And length limiting will be nice too.

Was just playing with this and think it would be useful to include the version of Cura the gcode is sliced in. Sometimes people test different models in different versions (I'm doing that now actually).

What do you think?

Me again! We really like this plugin.

Currently it only recognises an active extruder in the naming scheme.
In the case of a multi extrusion job it would be good if it could include all the loaded material types.

I've attached a project file as an example. I've loaded Ultimaker Black ABS and Ultimaker Tough PLA.
If I export using your plugin it will only recognise 'Ultimaker ABS' in the filename.

gcodefilenameformatmutiextrusion.zip

Cura can do up to 8 extruders, so there may be a situation where someone even has more than 2!

What do you think?

Would it be possible to add an option for the number of objects to be printed? I regularly modify my file names to add in the count when I have many objects being printed.

It would be great to have a placeholder that gets replaced by the number of individual objects.

(always checked https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/master/resources/i18n/fdmprinter.def.json.pot and I hope its actually "missing" :-))

This is on Cura 4.5, Windows 10, plugin version 1.4.1

Template:

[base_name] [layer_height]mm [speed_print]mms - [datetime] - [date] - [time]

Exported file name

Hello,

Am trying to add a timestamp to the gcode file names, but adding [datetime] merely adds 'None'

Using Cura 4.8.0

Hello,
thanks for making this nice plugin!
I typically enter manually the job duration and the amount of filament used.
Is there a way to include this information in the file name? I could not find it in the README.
If not, please consider adding it.

Thanks!

Hello.
I've disabled "Add machine prefix to job name" in Cura settings but the filename generated by your program still adds the printer name.
I'm using Cura 4.11.
Thank you.

I seem to not be able to find the string for the name of the profile that was used to create the gcode.

Hello,
Do you have a way to add the print time to the filename?
I read the documentation, but nothing.

I know it is possible, the "custom printjob prefix" plugin can do it, but I believe is more logic to have it after the filename.

Thanks for any feedback

Great plugin! I was thinking something that might be helpful is to add an option to add a directory to save in. I have several printers and constantly switching around in cura. The file save dialog always seems to stick to the last folder something was saved in. It would be handy to be able to specify say a printer name as a directory and then have the Gcode saved there. I hope I am explaining that correctly. It might also be handy to specify a default project directory as well so you have something like

x:\myprojects\

as a project directory and then adding a "printer directory option" would automatically save to

"x:\myprojects\myprintername\MyGcodeFilename.gcode"

I would like to implement the Display name of the material, but it is not on the list.
