Hi all,

I've just committed some changes to my github fork of Skeinforge which adds some simple, but useful, features to the Export module:

Add Profile To File Extension
Archive Used Profile As Zip
Export Profile Values As CSV File
Add Descriptive Extension
Add Timestamp Extension

Using these options means that each time a STL is processed one can:

see which profile was used (from the filename),
see which key values were used (from the filename),
see all the profile values (from the csv),
recreate the profile (from the zip),
and ensure sure that all gcode files are unique and not overwritten each time (with timestamp)

I've written up a bit more, with screenshots, on my blog.

Let me know if it's useful, and of course if you experience any problems.

Cheers,
Gary

I have never tried changing any part of SF before, do I just download your module and put it in the SF folder?

Hi,

All the changes are in the export.py file, so you should be able to replace this file:

skeinforge_application/skeinforge_plugins/craft_plugins/export.py

with this one:

https://raw.github.com/garyhodgson/skeinforge/dfc7b05bcca0917ac8ae885b4d34c5b2a823ac26/skeinforge_application/skeinforge_plugins/craft_plugins/export.py

I'd make a backup just in case. Let me know if you have problems.

Cheers,
Gary

Done, thanks for that. Being able to have the profile name on the Gcode helps me keep track of all the profiles I have used. I was manually adding this info before.
