I looked for this functionality in your program but couldn't find it. Apologies if it in there somewhere.
What I'd like to do is when the printhead moves out of the way (e.g. left-back) to take a snapshot, can it include a function to insert a code or run another command to do something else? For instance, I'd like it to pause for say 0.5sec to enable any shaking to stop, then take the photo, run another command, then pause for another 2sec, then resume. The other command I want to run is to play a soundfile like a SLR camera so I know it is at that position. The dwell time is so that I can react to the sound and press the pause button on the print before it starts a new layer. That can be used to swap filament manually for a new colour, or clean some crap off the build plate, etc. I sometimes print models and think to myself while it is printing, "this would be a great spot for a colour change". Of course I would have forgotten to include the relevant g-code while slicing. I know this isn't exactly what your program does or is intended for, but I think it is an appropriate place to insert something like this, as it only happens when Octolapse is active. I haven't had a lot of luck inserting G-code to pause and retract for a filament change or to allow me to place an embedded magnet in a cavity, and the print just lumbers on without stopping where I intended it to.
Thanks.

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps.
