Feature request: Chitu gcode as default format #4

Open jubudu opened 3 years ago

Hello, thank you for this awesome plugin!

I would appreciate, to setup your plugin as the default gcode-writer in Cura. It is a little bit inconvenient, now, to click "Save", select the SD-Card, select "chitu gcode", save and than "open folder" to finally unmount the SD-Card. The Cura default workflow for saving to SD-Card is much more intuitive. Regards, Jupp

I would love to see something similar to what BigTreeTech did with their plugin: Slice -> Click the Arrow -> Save as BigTree3D Format.

I've had this plugin installed for several days and could not figure out why it did not work. If not for jubudu's post here, I would have never guessed to 'Save File -> Select SD Card -> Change File Type to Chitu -> Save, as its not written in the ReadMe this way.

I will write it to the readme. "Slice -> Click the Arrow -> Save as BigTree3D " Which "Arrow" do you mean?

Spanni26 commented 3 years ago

Ok. As I can see it is already written in the Readme. But I added it yesterday. Please, don't add the Plugin by hand. It is available via the official Marketplace.

Perhaps change To include the Chitu code into the gcode slice as normal an save as "Chitu gcode" to To include the Chitu code into the gcode slice as normal, then Save To File -> (Change Save As Type to 'Chitu gcode') -> Save

I downloaded from the Marketplace before downloading from here. The Marketplace said that your plugin was installed, but "C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.6\plugins\ChituCodeWriter" did not exist and no sign of it in Cura except where Marketplace said it was installed. Downloading it from here and manually installing it worked, however.

Great plugin, by the way, thank you for putting the time and work in to it!
